When May 15, the night of the Junior-Senior Prom, rolled around we were thrilled to no end. We worked hard to make the Prom a big sucaess and give the Seniors an evening they wouid always remember. The Club Village Room of the Aims Hotel was beautifully decorated with glit- tering stars to carry out the theme of Star Dust. Aiene Heggemeier was crowned queen. Heruttendants were Louise Steger, Edna Tomesal, Gail Lehr, and Janet Fryburger. Our junior year came to c: close with memories that will last Forever. The summer flew by tike a breezeand the last year of our adventure was beginning. We entered the year with a bright outlook.

History iconcludedi In December we received our Senior Pictures, and everyone was busy trading pictures and signing auto- graphs. For a few days you would never fail to hear the gentle voice of some teacher asking you to Put away those pictures! Our class participated in Deer Park High's first Homecoming . We sponsored a dance after the Football game . The homecoming queen was surrounded by five Senior attendants. They were Gail Lehr, Louise Ste- ger, Edna Tomesal, Mary Poole, and Janet Fryburger. George Ward was crowned Homecoming King. Mary Poole joined the cheerleaders in cheering our team on to victory. Our senior trip was one never to be forgotten. We left for Washington D.C. and New York on April 26, and returned on May 1 . The Junior class showed us c1 delightful and wonderful time at the Junior Senior Prom. The Parker's of '55, with its theme of Beyond the Blue Horizon was high I igh ted by Senior talent. When Senior Day rolled around we were a bunch of happy, carefree kids looking for the time of our lives. The memories of that day will linger forever in our hearts, along with the memories of many other experiences, some sad, some happy, or our short iourney through the halls of Deer Po rk High School . Al- though th i ngs will never be the same For any of us after this, we not only carry with us the knowledge we have gained, but also the assurance of a place in the heart of each classmate. During our four years of high 5 chool our class has not remained the same . Some have joined our class and others have left it. But we will keep in our memories forever, our Class of 1955, For we feel and know it to be the best class ever 666244.706?!
