Heading the class were Don Lyons, president; Judie Carver, vice president; Alice Green, secretary; and Nancy Wilder, treasurer. We soon found ourselves as sponsors of the dance given to the winners of the Freshman-Sophomore Field Day. The weeks rolled by and in the spring of 1953 we became sophomores. We began our sophomore year by electing Clarence Dillon president with Sharon Albrecht, Gretchen Jagow, and Paul Cote as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer treated to an excellent dance by the losers. Spring arrived and so did the big Student Council election! We made a valiant effort, running Paul Cote for president; Ann Powell for vice-president; Alice Green for secretary; and Mary Jo Kay for treasurer. But we lost to a more experienced junior slate. Our float, The Creature From the Black Lagoon, constructed for 98 cents, was the best in many a year! With the preparation of the floral rope for Swingout, we closed our sophomore year. Leland Bates, Dick Walker, Ann Powell, and Alice Green led the way through our junior year. Our play, You Can't Take It With You, was a roaring success as anyone will tell you. Elections came around again, and we swept three out of our four candidates into office, with the fourth, Paul Cote for vice-president, losing by only one vote! Leland Bates took the presidency of the Student Council, and Sharon Albrecht and Alice Green became secretary and treasurer. A Candy Land theme was planned for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Everything turned out fine except for one small item--no band! Yes, this was one prom that will long be remembered. Hurrah! we're seniors --with Paul Cote, Darryl Van Allsburg, Gail Babcock and Mina Stocker at the wheel. The hilarious play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, starring Margaret Barton and Peggy Seaton, was a grand success under the direction of Miss Janice Hill. This year we initiated a new process for printing The Panther Press, and we put out the Pantherscope with Snaron Albrecht as editor of both. _ Then came the day we were all waiting for! We started our senior trip to Chicago. Up to Mackinac Island, through the locks, and back to Detroit we went. It was a wonderful experience. All too soon our senior year ended with Baccalaureate, Honors Night and Commencement ushering us into the wide world of business or college. The class of 1956 has certainly enjoyed its stay at Lapeer i — i i i i • a i i . t a a a i . r i a a_ _ Naturally we won the Freshman-Sophomore The class of 1956 has certainly enjoyed its stay at Lap High School and hopes it hasn't left it and the faculty too much the worse for the wear. We will forever be indebted to our sponsors, who put in many an hour of hard work to eep us going, and the other teachers for their help and uidance throughout the years. igh School and hopes it hasn't Paul Cote ...when nr nrrr tiimiL' Last Hill and Testament I, Sharon Albrecht, do will my ability to go steady through my high school days to my sister Sandy.

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders promote school spirit and lead the student body in cheers at school games. They also plan and direct pep meetings. MAJORETTES The majorettes enhance the spectacle at football games with their colorful footwork and twirling. They are out in front in parades, too.

Fencing giVes a person poise because to fence well requires a severe discipling of the muscles to respond correctly and instantaneously to the rapid commands of the brain. TERRIS TEAM The Tennis team develops coordination, physical fitness, and self-control. Losing only two of tjie 1955 lettermen, the 1956 team has done well in its ten meets.

Included are football games, University of Michigan Band Day, local parades, two concerts, and several contests. For the past ten years the band has received a first division rating in the district band contest and in 1955 received a first in the state. Recently the band and the majorettes were outfitted in smart new uniforms. BAND OFFICERS The swing band affords musical entertainment at the class plays produced at Lepeer High School. Office assistants perform the thousand and one tasks that are entailed in conducting the business of a school day. They take messages to students, run errands for the secretaries, and help with the paper work. LIBRARY I'Ll I! The Library Club is composed of the student assistants who help in the high school library, the junior high library, and the library workroom. They make a significant contribution to this department of our school. HALL MONITORS Hall monitors act as guides to people who enter the building on business and answer questions. The staff of the school newspaper collects the news, writes the stories and features, types and does the paste-up which is sent to Bellevelle to be lithoprinted. MIXED CHORUS GIRLS CHORUS PANTHER PRESS STIFF FUTURE TEACHERS CLIIH Lapeer has the honor of having the largest Future Teachers Club in the state of Michigan. Its members enjoy cadet teaching along with sponsoring the March of Dimes and weekly meetings. FUTURE FIRMS (IF tXERII'4 The members of the Future Farmers learn about agriculture, livestock, and farm management. They aim to produce a better equipped, more efficient crop of farmers for America's future. FREHH CLUB The French Club acquaints students with customs and beliefs of the French as well as the historical background of France. While at meetings students learn to converse fluently in French. SPMISI CLUB The members of the Spanish Club learn about our Spanish-speaking neighbors. They give Spanish dinners, and the club attends plays, given in Spanish. Our senior play was a howling success with Margaret Barton and Peggy Seaton playing Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough, who went to Paris after finishing school. The Drama Club is Lapeer High School's newest organization and promises to bring much dramatic training and entertainment to juniors and seniors. V This Broadway hit was a hit in Lapeer; it was a joy to see as well as to participate in. This production was the junior play of the class of 1956. CAN’T TIKI IT WITH Till 1 RAY GOODRICH 630 W.
