Pages Jayne Valine and Cora Ann Goley The gym was turned into a fairyland of roses and colored lights, when the Class of 1956 presented “Rose Room” as the theme of the 1955 Junior-Senior Prom. As you walked onto the dance floor through a trellis of roses, you found yourself in a garden bordered by a white picket fence, which was entwined with green vines and roses of various shades of red. At the far end of the gym behind the throne was the “Rose Room.” Inside the room a carpet of green grass covered the floor. White bird baths with roses floating in them, and wrought iron chairs were placed around the room. During the evening the guests danced to the music of Charles Val, while the traditional crystal ball cast facets of color on everything. The climax of the evening was the coronation ceremony. Before each attendant and the new queen entered the ballroom, the master of ceremonies read her name from a scroll which he received from one of the special pages. At the close of the coronation the guests were invited to dance for awhile longer before the 1955 Prom became a night to remember. 29

They went all out and came up with the record of 8 won, 5 lost, and one game that went 12 innings to a tie. The Tigers came through in the clutch many times, and had pitchers who could bear down when they had to. The graduating lettermen were Larry Sims, Bill Hoock, Jim Latinette, Floyd Dixon, Charles Childers, Larry Beiller, and Gene Poettgen. Those returning are Don Chaney, Jim Chamberlain, Bob Hebei, Don Schaefer, Frank Dollins, and Ernie Broyhill. 28
