Senior Class We, the class of '55 have been looking forward to being seniors and graduation. Now that the time has come we feel we might have studied a little ,more or maybe done just a little more than we did. Going back through the years, we recall the out- standing events in our high school days. As Fresh- men we were initiated by the Sophomores. Then came football and basketball, with our class repre- sented in both by Larry Mortimer and Tom Ham- mermiester. There was the thrill of our first Christ- mas Ball, uWinter Whirl, followed in the spring by the Spring Formal, HSweethearts in the Park. By the time we were Sophomores we felt we had a good start at Highland. We initiated the Fresh- men as We had been initiated the year before, but worse. This year was filled with dances, football, basketball, track meets, and baseball games, spon- soring assemblies, dances and roller skating parties. Then we took another step up the ladder. We were Juniors which made us upperclassmen. There were many factors that made this a big year. Order- ing our class rings made us feel like a united class. Next we tried our hand at dramatics with Shirley Wilson starring in the Junior Class Play, Stag- Linef' The big celebrity of our class was Renee Bedard, winning the honor of Miss Tycoma. We were hosts at the Junior-Senior Banquet. This year had passed too quickly. Before We realized it we were Seniors. This, our last year of high school was filled with exciting events. There was the Senior Play What A Lifev starring Bill Schwarzwalter. After football season, and many exciting games, was the football banquet with Millicent Pue, Queen and Georgeann Gray, Princess. Our last Christmas Ball, c'Kandy Kane Kapersf' was an outstanding event. After the Ball the days were filled with basketball games, dances, roller skating parties, and Various other activities. Then our last formal during high school, the Spring formal which a majority of the seniors attended. Finally our senior trip and graduation. With such wonderful high school years behind us we feel ready to take on any new adventure which we might encounter whether in college or in everyday life.
