DEDICATION We, the class of 56, proudly dedicate the thirty-second edition of the Littonian to the people of our Littlestown school community. Our appreciation and many thanks go to the business men, Rotarians, Lions, Jaycees, and all the Ladies Auxiliaries who gave their time and patience to help us make this yearbook, the football programs and many other extra activities possible, to houeswives, students, factory workers, and farmers who supported and helped make our projects successful ones, to teachers, pastors, and scoutleaders who have helped and guided us in the past, and who will continue to guide us in the future, and to the taxpayers who have so gratefully made our school years possible. We sin- cerely express our deep thanks to all who have had any part in making Littlestown Junior-Senior High School a better, happier place for all the students. We hope that we, as future citizens, may cooperate as well with the classes that follow us.

CLASS HISTORY May, 1956! Four years ago, it seemed but a remote date and now we find, all too soon, the day we thought would never come has arrived. Commencement and all it means to us, the Class of '56! It seems no time at all that we felt we had so much time to do everything we had to do. One day, however, we woke up and discovered, to our surprise, that we were seniors and the end of our goal together was in sight. Crowded into our few months of our senior year were our numerous activities. We ended a successful football season as the Champs of the Laurel League Conference and placed two of our seniors on the all-star team. We worked hard on our senior play and met the deadline for the Littonian. We selected our motto, chose our class colors, and wrote our class song. As we did all these things, we were mindful that each one of us would soon go our separate ways. We became serious seniors, studying hard because many of us were going on to colleges or nursing schools. Others were planning on going out into the business world, into offices, or into factories. We were suddenly aware that we would not be the carefree, happy-go-lucky students we had once been, but that we had to grow up in order to become responsible citizens. We had fun decorating for the Christmas Dance but it, like the Prom, quickly became pleasant memories. The year drew to a close and we were off to Washington, fifty merry seniors. We faced our finals with a smile and then turned our thoughts to Graduation. We had come a long way from the day we had entered the portals of L.H.S. as Greenie Freshmen. The final history of the Class of '56 was being written. Going back in retrospect, we really lived up to our name of Jolly Juniors. What a carefree happy year that was! In the fall, we could hardly wait until we could receive and wear our school rings. We en- tered into all the extra curricular activities of the school and made Q ourselves known in all of them, but the highlight of the year for all of us was the Junior Prom. Early in the year we chose our theme, Friend- ship's Garden, and every one of the class worked hard, long hours to make it the best, most unusual, and never-to-be-forgotten dancel In the spring of the year, along with the seniors, we attended the Career Conference at Gettysburg College. The last day of school brought with it the realization of our aim in high school-to be sophisticated seniors in the fall of '55. As we turn our thoughts back to the hrst two years of our high school days, our memories are somewhat hazy and vague, but there are a few bright spots that we vividly recall. In our freshmen year after we had learned to get to the right classes on time and learned what was expected of us, we looked in eager anticipation for our class rings. When we started wearing them, we finally felt like students of L.H.S. In the spring of that year, our trip to Harrisburg and Hershey, our visit to the County Court House, and the Valentine Dance, at which Susie Long was crowned Queen, were the outstanding events. The following fall we returned to school as Silly Sophomores. This year we were able to attend our first formal occasion-the Christmas Dance. We participated in many of the extra curricular activities. Our biggest thrill was the ordering of our school rings. The time has now come for us to say goodbye to our friends and classmates. We wish to thank the teachers who have helped and guided and inspired us in these past years. lt is with sadness and regret that we see the final pages of our history come to an end.
