1955-56: The year most members of the Class of 1974 were born. The class of 1974 was born in a year of national growth, one of international turmoil. Eisenhower was elected in November by a landslide victory over Adlai Stevenson after going through an ileitis attack and heart attack in the summer of 1956. Chaotic clashes in the South between white segregationists and civil rights groups led by Martin Luther King, Jr. in- creased national awareness of strained black-white situations. Hungary and Poland rebelled against Russian rule in violent bloody uprisings. Egypt seized the Suez Canal, provoking at- tacks by Britain, France, and Isereal. North and South Viet- nam planned to hold free elections on July 20 for the purpose of uniting the two countries. South Vietnam president Diem refused and sided with the U.S. and Great Britain against North Vietnam and the Communists. My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews was very popular. Dr. Billy Graham said There is no doubt we are experiencing the great religious renaissance in American his- tory. Marilyn Monroe drove people to suicide Cyes, it's truej with her gyrations, as did 21 -year- old Elvis fthe pelvisj Pre- sley on stage. Teenagers carved his name on their forearms as he wiggled through the number one song, Heartbreak Hotel . At Chaffee, Mrs. Erickson was promoted to the Director of Girls. The new Loomis hockey rink was completed in January. Rock and roll blares across the campus. The Snug was the stage of a battle in which cups, plates, pies UD and soda bottles are thrown. Nine boys were honored in the Cum Laude cere- mony. Athletic seasons were initiated with futile attempts to rid boys of their perennial content of alcohol. In June 96 boys graduated from Loomis, 17 girls graduated from Chaffee. Graduation was warm and sunny f as usual J. qgav Wh--MW 63 . .Me
