Dear Pilchuck Readers: Well, it's time for as to report to you students about our wards, the Class of 1956. We two guardian angels up on Cloud 7,Mertand Bert, thought that we should give you a recap of the past four years. Our first year of guardianship was 1952. It was then that we first met the students and from the very begmning we knew that we would enjoy this assign- ment. The enrollment of the Freshman class was 70 students. The following officers were elected: Jack Morris, president; Sandra Person, vice-president; Keith Warrick, secretary-treasurer; and Don Johnson, student council repre- sentative. As we recall, the freshman initiation was enjoyed by all-that is, all but our Freshmen! For Homecoming that year, Carroll Olin was princess and Jack Morris, prince. The Jr. Beacon was published by the class. The sophomore year kept us angels very busy. The officers were Jack Morris, president; Jerry Berglund, vice-president; Dorothy Thompson, secretary-treas- urer; and Don Johnson, student council representative. They had a very large class, 77 all told. The students had all of us rolling in the aisles when they put on their Sophomore play. The City Slicker and Our Nell. It was an old fash- ioned meller-drama . Socially, our wards were very active. They sponsored two dances and the Freshman Initiation. They were well-represented in all clubs too. There were four girls in Drill Team, 14 girls turning out for G A. A. and 10 boys active in sports. After a relaxing summer, we guardians had to return to our duties. Now our wards were Juniors. Sixty eight students made up the class, and their choice of officers were Jack Wood, president; Burke Williams, vice-president; Dorothy Thompson, secretary-treasurer; and Don Johnson, student council representa- tive. To earn money, the enterprising class sold pop and candy at the football games and they sponsored two dances. The highlight of the year was the Junior Prom------and what a prom that was ! It was called Fairyland Fantasy, Joyce Horne was general chairman. They now had seven girls in Drill Team, nine letter girls, seven Letter men, and 24 students in Torch. To end their Junior year, the students had a picnic at Lake Goodwin. During the summer, we recuperated from that hectic year, and regained our strength for the Senior year. Here it was, our last year with our wards. There were 64 graduating Seniors. The officers for their last year were Jack Morris, president; John Ames, vice-president; Dorothy Thompson, secretary; Wayne Werner, treasurer; and Don Johnson, student council representative. To raise enough money for the annual, the class put on their Senior Play, December 1 and 2. It was a real tear-jerker , the name being Room For One More. After the last performance, a party was given for the Seniors in the Home Ec. room.. The Seniors sold popcorn at all the football games and during noon hour, too. There were 13 boys in Lettermen's Club; 8 Lettergirls, 22 in Torch, and 7 in Drill Team. The climax of the four years came with graduation. And so our four-year guardianship came to a close. We only mentioned the main activities our wards participated in. There were parties, games, programs, dances, and other good times, too numerous to mention. You Seniors are on your own now-------our job is done. We've enjoyed watch- ing over you, and we hope that as you go out into the world, that you will never forge these precious years. Although we will have other classes to take care of, you will always remain our favorites. Goodbye Seniors . . . and good luck! Mert and Bert Guardian Angels Cloud Seven
