At first we were what you might call a divided groupg this was the year Templeton joined our school system. But as we got to know each other, we became as one, and at our first class meeting elected Chuck Shankel our President, Bud Schaub, Vice President, Phyllis Rumbaugh, Secretary, Elaine West, Assistant Sec- retary, Deanna White, Treasurer, and Randy Quinn, Historian. That year we held our first extra- curricular activity. It was a Freshman skate and the profit from it was 33460, the first money to enter our treasury. As Sophomores, we tried our luck once again sponsoring another skate. The Junior year saw our class more active in many ways. First came a Christmas card sale, which increased our treasury considerably. Our next big moment was the arrival of Class Rings. The biggest activity of the year was yet to come, however-the Junior Prom. The theme of Even- ing in Paris was carried out with fountains and drawings of Paris around the new gym. The dance programs were shaped like bottles of Evening in Paris. At the Prom, Evelyn Shirey was crowned the Queen and Carl Shirey, King. The junior attendants were Elaine West and Deanna White escorted by Larry Walker and Chuck Shankel. We were pleased with the results of our Junior-sponsored formal. When September 1, 1955, came, our Class of 77 knowledge-thirsty students began its final year in DJHS. The members of the class participated in many activities and functions of the school. When Open House was held in October, students acted as hosts and hostesses, contributing to the success of the evening. The Senior Christmas party in the Music Room was a memorable occasion. The turkey din- ner, gift exchange, carol sing, and dance really put everyone into the Holiday Spirit. Next on the agenda was the preparation of the Senior Play, If Mother Only Knew, a three- act comedy-farce by Donald Payton. The cast and production staff spent long hours rehearsing, planning, and generally preparing for the big night. When the play was finally presented on March 15 and 16, needless to say, it was a success-thoroughly enjoyed by both audience and cast. On May 4, the Seniors were the guests of the Junior Class at the Prom. Elaine West and Starry Walker were crowned Queen and King at the Coronation Exercises which preceded the ance. With the excitement of the Prom over, our school days quickly dwindled in number. May 18 was the last day for formal classes. Following in rapid succession were Baccalaureate, the Senior Trip, and finally Commencement. Upon receipt of our diplomas, we closed the pages of the history of the Class of 1956 of the Dayton Joint High School and became citizens of our community. 21 D
