DEDICATION We, the senior class of nineteen hun- dred and fifty-five, dedicate this book to JOHN HIRST in appreciation of all the help he has giv- en us in the years he has been here. And also for the many good basketball and football teams he has produced. We sincerely believe that Mr. Hirst will continue to be as helpful and cheerful no matter where he may go. To Mr. Hirst we say good luck and many years of happiness. DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY To See the Human Soul Take Wing REVO N A H ADMINISTRATION HANOVER HIGH FROM THE AIR Kenneth Speer O.

On that first day of school in September of '42 there were fifty-two shining little faces in the first grade. We were divided into two separate classes under Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Crowley. We put on a circus for our parents and friends in the second and third grades. We were stars already-....we thought. When we were in second grade we were all together again because the num- ber had dwindled to thirty-six. Miss Ischi was our teacher. In the back of the room we had a play grocery store where we learned money changing which we were to use so often in a few years. Miss Thomas taught us in third grade. It was this year that we learned to write instead of printing. In fourth grade Miss Graves was responsible for our further education. She helped us with our Tea for our Mothers. There was a program of local talent (we were continuing our work started in first grade) and refreshments. At Christmas time during our fifth year of school we were in an operetta with students from other classes. Mrs. Ehredt was our teacher. In sixth grade we entertained the fifth grade with our production of How Boots Befooled the King. Mrs. Harksen, our teacher, directed us. Mrs. Keene started preparing us for high school during our first year of Junior High. We were really grown up now; we had our first school party in the evening. Mrs. Morrison was our last teacher downstairs. On May 28, '51 our class of thirty-eight members graduated into High School. As Freshmen we numbered forty-two; we were the first class of that size to atlend H. H. S. The past four years are so full of events I could fill a book. We spent much time and effort selling magazines, putting on dances, programs and plays to make mon- ey to go to Washington D. C. in our Senior year. We will also go to New York City and Niagra Falls on our trip. Mr. Hires has been our class advisor all through high school and will accompany us on our trip. He also directed our Sophomore Comedy Hour Program, Senior Class Play, and Senior Comedy Hour Program. Our Senior play was Our Town, a modern play. Mr. Hockenson directed Ram- shackle Inn, our Junior Class Play. The Prom we sponsored in our Junior year was one of the prettiest in the mem- ories of many students and teachers. The theme was Moonlight and Roses . We are also proud of our athletes and beauties. The Homecoming Queen of '55 was a member of our class, Kay Curtis. Phyllis Boldt and Jean Petitgoue have rep- resented our class as attendants in previous years. We've had a lot of fun together and even though we were a large class we've had splendid cooperation. So with all the pleasant memories of our twelve years together we part, each to go his own way in the great wide future that lies ahead. 19 5 5 REVO N A H CLASS WILL And They Are Gone I, Phyllis Boldt, do will my bass voice to Ronnie Noton.

REVO N A H JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY WHEN I REMEMBER ALL The junior class of 1954 and 1955 started out with twenty-four members. The class officers are: President, Eugene Ferguson; Vice-President, Carolyn Haug; Sec- retary-Treasurer, Carolyn McKinley; Student Council Member, Carole Crawford; and Mr. James Walsh was chosen as our Class Advisor. Our class is very proud of Eugene, Philip, Jerry, Bob, Martin and Ronnie who were out for basketball; and Eugene, Martin, Philip, Wayne, Leo and Frank who were out for football. Carolyn McKinley and Carolyn Haug were chosen cheerleaders and also attendants to the queen at Homecoming. We had a lot of fun getting ready for Homecoming. The float that we entered got second prize. We also enjoyed getting ready for and giving our class play, The Big Blow-Up . It turned out to be a big success. We are looking forward to the Prom which will be on May 20, 1955. The theme will be Indian Love Call. The Junior class of '56 wishes the seniors much success and happiness in their future years. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY FOND MEMORY BRINGS THE LIGHT We, the sophomore class, entered H. H. S with twenty-eight members. Our closs officers were: President, Denny McCormick; Vice-President, Lynn Zuber; Secretary-Treasurer, Judy Henschel; and Student Council Member, Judy Reed. New students this year were Sue Schneider, Norman Martinelli, and Bill Mc- Colley, who was with us for only a short time. We also lost Kenneth Jestice and Cyril Larson. In October we entered our float in the homecoming parade and were very happy to be awarded first prize. In December we presented our play Elmer which was given as an assembly program. Judy Reed was elected cheerleader. We had seven boys out for basketball and five boys out for football. Our money making project this year was a chili supper held February first. It was very profitable. The sophomore class wishes the seniors of 55 health, happiness, and suc- cess. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY AND GIVE US MANNERS, VIRTUE, FREEDOM, POWER There are twenty nine in the freshman class. The class officers are: President, Donna Speer; Vice President, Lynn Fleming; Secretary-Treasurer, Jeane Schuster; Student Council, Chuck Straight; Class Advisor, Mr. Fassel.

OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder The three acts of this play show life in an average American town from 1901-1913, emphasizing the daily life, love and marriage and death. The main characters are George Gibbs and Emily Webb and their families. Played on a stage where shifts of scenery are made only in the audience’s imagination, the story is able to show all phases of American life from the breakfast table to the graveyard.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY______________________________________________ THE BIG BLOWUP'' This is a play in which the leading characters are four suitcases, which look so much alike that when their owners get them mixed, the result is not only uproariously funny, but is highly exciting because in one of the suitcases is a time bomb that will blow any one who tries to open it to smithereens, and in another is a valuable pearl necklace. Terry, a young detective, is on the trail of a gangster named Mugsy Morris. Terry knows that Mugsy’s sister is supposed to meet him in a small town hotel but he doesn’t know what she looks like so consequently he gets her mixed up with two other lodgers named Sandra Field and Margot Richards. Many people try to open the suitcase not knowing to whom it belongs and the sus- pense is terrific. It all ends happily, however, but not before many complications have piled up that embroil every guest in the hotel.
