77 09122 When we entered Gardner High School four long years ago The time toward graduation seemed to tick away so slow. The preparations over nowg our school days all are past, And here we stand, approaching life's long curving road, at last. Back on our high school years each one of us will fondly gaze And find that these were actually our truly heavenly days. With glimpses of the memories which we hold as a class We marvel now at how the time so quickly had to pass. Freshman initiation was a feared and dreaded day Each one of us poor Freshies had to dress a certain way. Sophisticated sophomores on the following year Still we were underclassmen to the Seniors we do fear. Our Junior Prom and banquet was enjoyed much by all No finer had been given that one could well recall April fourteenth was the date that we set, For 'Chapel in the Moonlight, we'll never forget. As dignified seniors our year's story we'll relate And mention first the senior prom as a most important date. This entertainment furnished by the class that's just behind us Has helped to draw us closer, and to their hearts entwined us. Our Senior Celebrations were loaded full with fun And each Senior was included, left out not a single one. Graduation from G.H.S, we all love so dear We always will recall the days we spent together here, Our teachers and our parents a debt we'll always owe And through our life our gratitude we'll ever try to show. So from the Class of '56, farewell to each and all From us a wish for happiness strong, and wide, and tall High school days for each of us come to an end this year But graduation isn't sadg it means a new career. Ohm ZQJ17f We, the Senior Class, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make the following bequests To Lois Ahlenstorf, we leave Roxy Crane's position on the office force. To Phyllis Andrew, we leave Rogene Stemple's talkativeness. To Glenn Bonar, we leave Larry Clark's athletic ability. To Judy Clark, we leave Jerry Nea1's wittiness around GHS.

To Henry Davis, we leave Mary Ethel Klamm's school spirit. To Victor Fonseca, we leave Gary Rush's seat in American History. To Fred Garcia, we leave Barbara Ormsby's leadership ability. To Cread Hogan, we leave Larry Pearce's car techniques. To Sue Jensen, we leave Charlotte Cloud's sweet singing voice. To Norlea Klamm, we leave Theresa Van Goethem's 'foot juggling ways. To Wayne Knabe, we leave the freshman girls, favor of Gene Stricker. To Bill Leeker, we leave John Velasquez's shyness toward girls. To Myron Plank, we leave Dorris Donaldson's 'Valentino ways. To Lee Peters, we leave Reta Hamilton's quietness. To Joan Randall, we leave Marilyn Laquet's faithfulness to one boy. To Celia Thompson, we leave the directions to Bob West's parking spots.
