Nineteen hundred and fifty-two found us as eager freshmen anxious to explore the trail ahead. With Donald Barker as our leader, the first marker we left on our trail was l-licktown Iam- boree, a regular old-fashioned square dance. The year found us exploring many trails of sports, social activities, contests and studies. Our next marker as a class was staked as we presented the Freshman Talent Show, where all talent was revealed. As sophomores. with 'Ronald Pavelka leading our journey. we once again sponsored a square dance, Corn Cob Magic. which reaped many profits 'both financially and socially. Then came Sophomore Movie Night and a dance afterward and many plans for the trail ahead. With lim MacKeigan as our leader. we were juniors: all our plans plus our treasury were for the Iunior-Senior Prom. In pre- paration of our prom we sponsored two sock hops, in the new gym and found ourselves very busy working on different com- mlttees.

With our three-year journey well-marked, carefully and proudly we became full-fledged seniors. Bud Hamod was our choice for our leader, and we presented the first dance of the year. As seniors our activities were many: we were the leaders: we looked forward to our Senior Outing. Class Day, Student Teacher Day and Honors Day. Then came the traditional Convocation and Baccalaureate to remind us of the guiding light of our path and to infringe on us our duties and responsibilities as Americans. Commencement and graduation, Iune 1, 1956. finds us at the fork in the trail, with diplomas in our hands, and faith and hope in our hearts. We. the graduates of 1956, are ready to venture into the different paths of lille.
