PETER BROCH EDSTROM A creative mind and skillful fingers pull of paint. Conservation Club 2, 4g Minstrel 4, Fairview Beacon Staff 2, Art Editor for the Farmington Student. Peter really came to the front with his unusual drawings and interpreta- tions. How natural he was in the minstrel with his harmonica and country attire! Each morning found him making an early arrival at room 30, but not to meet the teacher. With your talent you should go far as a commercial artist, Pete 13

We hope that you will like your position of secretary, Chris. sh- Ui I Conservation Club 3, 4g Outing Club 2, 35 Minstrel 3g Hilltop Club 2.

Hilltop Club 2, Conservation Club 2, 3, 4, Outing Club 3, 4. Sandra never rid herself of her carefree attitude whether she was attend- ing class, performing acrobatic stunts in the gymnasium, or watching as bas- ketball game.

It seemed that no activity sponsored by the class of 1956 was ever com- plete without Sharon. He foremost activity was cheerleading, where her pleas- ing personality was always in evidence. Dancing in the minstrel show, typing for the class book, serving on committees, and reporting for the Parade of Youth consumed much of her time. We believe employment will be yours for the asking, Sharon. 0 x
