Main Office, STUBBS Enterprises Gloucester City, New Jersey Date: The Future MEMO: To all members of the student body and alumni of G. H. S. SUBJECT: Plant trip around the world by the president of the company. Recently accompanied by my private secretary, MARGIE McFAUL, I took a trip around the world on plant business. On the trip I encountered here and there the members of the famous class of 1956. Before leaving, 1 visited my old Alma Mater, Gloucester High School and, to my surprise, found MILLIE STINSMAN, secretary to the principal, talking to SHIRLEY SMITH, the hockey coach, about TOM READ- ER’S having been selected senator from New Jersey with BUNNY PAPPERMAN as his secretary. I first stopped at New Brunswick where I found BILL YERKES, the dean of men, with MARGIE SAYERS as his secretary, and VIRGINIA LANE, music supervisor at Douglas University. I then went back to Philadelphia where I met MARLYN PILLET, the art editor of the Ladies Home Journal, and ELIZABETH SENIFF, the poetry editor for the same magazine. Next I stopped in New York where MARIE KRAMER was appearing in a smash musical comedy. I visited her in her dressing room and saw KAY MORRISON who was working for MAUREEN BARTULA’S Dancing School as a private secretary. I was informed that my plane was ready to leave for London and on boarding the plane found my stewardess for the trip was BETTY COWGILL with the pilot and co-pilot being none other than DON JOHNSON and BOB WILLIAMS. Upon arriving in London, I went to the Palladium where CAROLYN LINCLON was starring. While there I talked to her press agent, DOTTIE BOEHM, and the stage manager, ELWOOD JONES. Also, in London, at the time, was JOE PHILLIPS, the noted educator and lecturer. While walking thru London, I stopped in a men’s store owned by WALT MILLER and HARRY WALKER. DON RANKIN who had just won an Emmy Award for the outstanding television comedian, along with TONY McGRATH, his press agent, was buying clothes for his command performance before the queen. Next stop on my trip was Belfast, Ireland, where I found JIM HETHERINGTON, a civil-engineer, with FLORENCE GNOJSKI as his secretary and BILL RUTHERFORD serving as one of his draftsmen. Then on to Finland where I met RIDIE LUDWICK who was taking a trip around the world she had won as a prize in the Pillsbury Baking Contest. Next was Denmark where HARRY WILSON, head of Coin Collectors, Inc., was living. From there to the Netherlands where MARIE MUNN, JUDY AVIS, CATHLEEN MURPHY, and LENORA SAVIDGE were running a dress shop.

JACK LUDWICK was in Tokyo as an instructor at a Marine Corps Base. HELEN SMITH was appearing in a U. S. O. Show on the base and FRED SHINDLE was touring Japan with the New York Yankees. On my boat to Hawaii, I met JOAN MARTZ and her husband and MARGIE SHEA and her husband, all on a round-the-world cruise. 32 future Horizons -� Ensign FRED REEVE and NORM DAVIS, pilot in the air force, were both stationed at Pearl Harbor. Back in the U. S. A. I found JANE SENATORE, a policewoman in San Francisco and DON KELLY, a police- man, specializing in guarding wedding receptions in Hollywood.

After long hours of hard workover many months the Class of 1956 is now proud to present the year book. The “Blue Gold Year Book tells the story of the class in pictures and write-ups. The book covers everyone in the class, their activities, class history, phrophecy, will, personality poll, plays, prom, and the year book staff, along with all the other activities which include the entire student body. The theme. “Passports to Life’ by which the class of '56 is bound for “Success and Happiness and Greater Horizons, was finally chosen and followed thru in the book after much discussion. Most of the hard work was done by various editors headed by Patricia O’Shea and William Stubbs and by the business staff headed by Henry Lim and Ken Lehberger, altho a large portion of the class had a share in it. However, along with the hard work, it was fun, and there is a satisfaction when it is done. The Class of ’56 hopes you like their Year Book.

Along the road to prominence the junior class presented the hit play, Almost Summer, with Fred Hawthorne in the leading role. Besides the play and a dance in the fall, members of the class participated in the Armistice Day Program and in the Christmas Program. The sports story for the football season was not too pleasant this year, but we're happy to say that immy Ashe, one of our classmates, received a gold trophy award as the most outstanding player of the football team for the Thanksgiving Game. 57 is well represented in basketball, baseball, and track and by the time this book comes out will be busy in their preparation for the Junior Promenade in honor of the senior class. 11-B Home Room - L. to R. - Rowl.: Patricia Kneideson, Barbara Ann Kasa, Lois Jiannold, Shirley Leap, Barbara Hatton, Frances Ludwick, Jean Legge, Rainnelda Lane, Nancy Hall.

Sophomore Glass In the athletic department, they have good representation. Jack Persichetti played on the varsity foot- ball, basketball, and baseball teams while many sophomores played on the J. V. teams. The hockey team was captained by a sophomore. Myrtle Schoelkopf, who also played on last year's championship team. Besides Myrtle, the majority of her teammates were sophomores including Gail Bevans, Ann Grabowski, Mary Ellen Uibel, Audrey Stiles, Bunny Ross, and Betty Keebler. The sophomores are well represented on the Honor Rolls with many runners-up each time. By the time this book is published,the Sophomores' assembly and hop will be events of the past and we hope a credit to us. The sophomores wish their sister class every success after graduating. 10-D Home Room - L. to R. - Row 1.: Stella Taylor, Janet Singley, Lora Skinner, Marilyn Spevack, Joyce Taylor.

Next came the election of class officers. Robert Kryzk was elecred president; Shirley Rettig, secretary; and Phillip Thurston, treasurer. After the close of football season the freshman basketball squad started practicing with Mr. Tenor as coach.
