 THIS IS YOURS! —Mr. Lindsey hands to Barbara Sanchez her Senior stationery while Tommy Ramey looks on. in tfjese pages SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The 1956-57 school year was an active one for members of the Senior Class. However, in the midst of it all, they took time out to review the years spent at G.W. One memory that stood out was the first time they entered G.W. as Freshmen. The awe they felt for upperclassmen soon disappeared at the beginning of the Sophomore year. During that year, they sponsored a food dance and joined many clubs. Preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom found them as Juniors working hard for the Big Night. Then, at last, they were Seniors. After election of Senior Class officers, it was the seniors' pleasure at class meetings to vote class dues of two dollars per student; to dedicate the Compass”; to sponsor a four hundred dollar scholarship to a worthy recipient; to donate a gift to the school; and finally to make preparations for the Senior Prom which was held at Arlington Towers. In the early spring, speakers for the commencement exercises were chosen from those seniors who competed on a basis of presentation of original speeches.
