53353353 1956 Memo reis Qfass Qroplzecy The time ls the year 1966, ten shorl years following the graduation of the class of '56 from La Farge High School. As I look back over the past ten years, a decade of advancement for some, one of decline for the rest, I can select many important incidents and dates, but a few stand out above the others as the key plays made by the 56ers. 4 Following are the sequences which I have picked as outstanding, some of them will make the faculty members of '56 proud, others will make them wince with wonder of what ever could have happened. May, 1956-- No doubt everyone will remember this date- L.H.S, 'graduated the class of '56 and sent them into the wide world.. Q The latter part of this month was marked with several celebrations concerning the graduation. I will not discuss the results as most everyone re- members them anyway. June, 1956- Karlene Major pulls down the first big event by entering the role of Mrs. Winfred Bold. Virginia Nixon starts her long climb toward earning 'her way throulgh college by landinlg a job as head usher at the Y.M.C.A, Berlle Campbell says he has had enough of Wisconsin and heads back to Colorado.

Don Burnard after a summer of splendor working oh the telephone line reluctantly tells the girls in Viola they must make la great sacritice by letting him join the Armed Forces. Poor girls?? Leota Potter obtains official candy tasters position with the Brach'Candy Co. She will probably get plmp'les. September, 1956- ' Mr. Oaklief convinces Jim Harris that Platte- ville could use his basketball talent. Barbara Deibilg Q promises sfhe will come down to watch her hero perform. Bob McNatt quits his job at La. Crosse and heads for Platteville right on the lheels of Harris. Audrey made a promise similar toZBarbara's.
