Mission accomplished. Valedictorian Valedictorian — the most distinguished award a student may achieve — was earned in the class of 1956 by Alan Allison. Thoughtful and stimulating opinions were typical of Al as his intellectual capacity was evidenced even in ordinary conversation. His scholarship achievements earned Alan a place in the National Honor Society. Hi-Y was one of Alan's extra-curricular interests. His ability at organization was apparent at Homecoming as he headed the pin committee. Salutatorian Second highest scholastic award, salutatorian, was awarded to Judy Scott for her outstanding academic achievement. A little figure with a tall white hat marching down the field and leading the band is an example of Judy's varied interests. Her well-rounded abilities earned her a place in the National Honor Society, the presidency of Spanish Club, and a section editorship on the Whigrean. Her long list of activities combined with intellectual ability made Judy a natural leader. -12- Well-earned relaxation.

Class History The Rime of the Erudite Senior It is an erudite Senior And he stoppeth one of three: Now mark me well, for I must tell Our brilliant history: A talent show earned us the dough To toast the senior class; And Romans all saw Caesar fall. Viewed crayfish through a glass. In seventh grade, we worked and played. Football, Home Ec., Shop; Sunlights merry. Miss McGarry, A young and eager crop! Bermuda shorts, all sort of sports. Campaigns, the Prom, our play; With teachers dear, like Belk and Greer, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. A moonlight late, a picnic fete, Harley Hopkins pals; Evangeline, and now and then The boys would date the gals; Conference winners! Victory dinners! The Heiress, Class Night tricks; College boards, exams, awards, The Class of Fifty-Six! Leaders now of junior high. But humble freshmen, too. Our float was a flop, but our Bunny Hop Is precious to review. Farewell, farewell, now tolls the bell. Commencement time is nigh; We bid adieu to all of you. And to dear Edina High! SEATED: Miss Gransborg, Mrs. Sanchez, Miss laPray, Mr. Fredrickson. STANDING: Mr. Martin, Mr. Christenson. -11 -
