( Pfund -LjJears é t The buds blossomed forth in the Junior year. Full growth was approached and skills were acquired. But it wasn’t all work—we had opportunity for fun, too. The glamour of the Junior Prom took on a sophisticated air with its “Paris Accent.” The Student Council election, with its buttons, skits, laughs, and rooting, was full of excitement. However, the season soon came to an end, and we were ready to be put into the Senior Bouquet. Thus, the Class of 1957 spent the year being arranged for display in June. Yes, life at Essex High was over, but this Bouquet would not wither and die; we would continue to flower as we entered the business world.

СА From seed to bouguet, this is the story of four flowering years. During this time, the elements of guidance and study, patience and care, produced intelligent growth and provided us with a plan for our future. In 1953, as shy and timid seedlings, we were scattered about in new surroundings. How bewildering it was to be confronted with a cafeteria line that seemed to have no end. How perplexing a combination lock could be. The seedlings found adjusting a little difficult; but soon roots began to take hold, and at the Hallowe'en Dance Freshmen, Freshmen, and more Freshmen appeared in gay profusion. Then, in the Sophomore year we were transplanted into the rich and fertile gardens of our chosen careers. As buds, full of freshness and vigor, we started to unfold as beauticians, technical secretaries, comptometer operators, bookkeepers, typists, artists, dressmakers, and dieticians.
