Our wonderful 1956 seniors 9 This is a class who can take it on the chin and come up smiling. Although our sixty-seven seniors learned early in September that it was not going to be feasible to continue the annual trips, they quickly rallied and plunged into the activities of their last year in Tigerland. Here is a group above average in abilities. There are future scientists, doctors, lawyers, ministers, and teachers in the Class of ’56. And there are artists, musicians, singers, and actors of rare talents too. The class numbers among its predominantly male mem- bership of forty-five some of the leading future farmers of the area and some of the best athletes GHS has ever graduated. Senior energies have been directed into many channels in addition to the regular classroom work. A large percentage of the class have regular employment and arc already saving for next year’s college expenses. CHS sends more than fifty percent of her graduates to universities and colleges annually, and the Class of 56 will be no exception. Final activities of the year will include “The Petri- fied Forest,’’ their senior play, the Junior-Senior Ban- quet and Prom, the Baccalaureate, Senior Class Day, and, on May 24, Commencement. Senior officers, with an eye out for Pioneer Day mounts, posing at Guymon’s Livestock Arena are Cary Burkleo, vice-president; Percy Tomlinson, president; Judy Noonan, secretary,- and Cleva Melton, treasurer. PICK A QUEEN! Either Barbara Heard, Pat Tucker, Leona Peterson, or Margaret Ralstin might he the lucky girl to wear regal rohe and crown at Guymon’s Pioneer Parade, May 5. BOSTON BEGS BALLOTS! “Shall I write ‘Samples’ on these?” quips Gay Boston to senior queen candidate Gail Crowder, Jim Rogers, and Nancy Bunger at the School Carnival. THIS IS DUCKY! Live minutes until fourth hour chemistry class, and no spark! X'hy not grab a duck and fly in from the lake, Boh Denney, Jerry McVey, and Rex Howe?
