Our Senior year arrived in the fall of 1956 with all its packages of joy and work. To raise money for our Prom, we sold greeting cards and tickets to the Senior Play, “Our Town.” Encouraged by the success of the play, we sponsored the festive Christmas Dance. Industry Day, a day when we, as Seniors, were given the opportunity to head the industries of Hillside was on our schedule for spring. Another event, one of luminous beauty, was our Prom in May. Graduation came as our finale in Hillside High School and our prologue to the future. SENIORS rr —cz
