We would like to share it with you. As we face the future, we realize that many important decisions will have to be made. We look to the future with confidence, not fear, for we are prepared to accept our responsibilities as citizens in a complex society.

Science Subjects Taught: Chemistry Shop Advanced Algebra Mechanical Drawing Psychology Education is a process of changing the behavior patterns of people. This is using behavior in the broad sense to include thinking and feeling aswell as overt action. All people do not agree in those things they would have a child taught, both with respect to improvement in virtue and a happy life: nor is it clear whether the object of it should be to improve the reason or rectify the morals. There is great need in the confused world of today for better morals, more self-discipline, and a sounder sense of values. The schools are only one of the agencies concerned with the upbringing of youth. The home, Sunday Schools and churches, Boy and Girl Scout organizations Ksimply by way of illustrationj are others with varying degrees of influence. The schools should neither try, be expected, nor be permitted to assume exclusive or near-exclusive responsibility. The ultimate responsibility for the education and upbringing of every child still remains, and should remain, in the family of which that child is a part. The schools must be regarded as agents of and auxiliary to parents in the school's assumption of a part of the responsibility. There is one school in which all must train. It is the school of experience. One puts in a lifetime in this school regardless of whatever other school one attends and his accomplishments depend upon himself. Experience is of two kinds, personal and vi- carious. There is wisdom in giving careful attention to the experiences of other people. By so doing we judge between worthless and profitable experiences and govern ourselves accordingly. MARJORIE M.

H. S. We were a class of nine: Jerry Hansen, Ronnie Dezellem, Danny Miller, Gerald Asmussen, Janet Avenell, Jean Bowers, Ann Fenner, Donna Mae Rose, and Catherine Jensen. A few weeks later we came to school dressed as comic strip characters. What had happened? Initiation! An assembly was held, in which each member of the class performed. We held our return party on October 13. Games and dances were enjoyed by all. Shirley Petersen, from Withrow High School, enrolled in our class before the end of the first semester. We had only eight members during our sophomore year, Ann Fenner and Ronnie Dezellem both having moved away. The selling of pop and candy was our main project, which netted us about i p88.94, Our Sophomore Hop was held on March 21, with Hayes' Orchestra playing, Our junior year opened with six members, Danny Miller having moved to Pateros and Jerry Hansen being hospitalized. We ordered our Junior Class rings early in the year and received them in December. We held our Junior Class Play, Poor Papa , on December 5. Although there was some.trouble with the advertising, it was a success. Our Junior Prom was held on April 24. Jean Bowerswas the queen with the other girls in the class as princesses. The theme was Moonlight and Roses . We used cheesecloth with blue and gray crepe paper and roses for decoration. The big year had arrived! We were seniors, with the same members as our junior year. Our Senior Ball was held on October 16. Catherine Jensen was queen of this event, with the other girls officiating as attendants. They gym was decorated with roses, gray crepe paper, and the scallop from the float. Refreshments were served by our mothers. The Masters of Melodies from Cheney furnished the music. We went to Spokane on October 23 to have our pictures taken. Mr. and Mrs. Don Rose were our chaperons. The trip was made exciting by a sightseeing tour of Spokane and surrounding communities. We purchased the pencil machine from the class of '54. It was a profitable invest- ment. We sold pencils at the P. T. A. Carnival. An award was given for each pencil that had a special mark on it. Our Apple Blossom Princess was Janet Avenell. In the spring, we went on an educational trip, This page sponsored by: PARRY TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT COMPANY Waterville, Washington MOTTO Less than our best is failure CLASS COLOR Italian Blue and Gray CLASS FLOWER American Beauty Rose CLASS WILL We, the Mighty Class of '55, being of sound mind knowing that our absence from the halls of M. H. S. will sadden many a heart, do hereby declare this our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave the good behavior of the four underclasses next year. To Mrs. Evans, our advisor, we leave all our greasy finger marks on the window of the typing room. To the custodian we leave all the gum and wastepaper he can find under chairs and tables. To the Juniors we leave all our unfinished jobs. Are there any? To the Sophomores we leave our ability to get into as much trouble as possible. To the Freshmen we leave the good fortune of making a profit on their dances. To the incoming Freshmen we leave the ability of getting kicked out of class not more than twice a day, providing that they can get back in. I, Shirley Petersen, do hereby bequeath my ability of throwing ink on Mr. Miller's car from the top floor at the school to Elsie Glessner, providing that she hits it square and doesn't have to wash it off. I, Donna Rose, do hereby bequeath my knowledge of surrounding towns to any girl who can successfully meet a new boy every week, providing that she does not go to Bridgeport more than three times a week. I, Janet Avenell, do hereby bequeath my ability of going with one of Uncle Sam's boys to Bee Snell, providing that she sees him as often asldo. I, Catherine Jensen, do hereby bequeath my ability to laugh and be happy in Spanish class, no matter what the consequences, to Lorraine. I, Gerald Asmussen, do hereby bequeath my ability to be the only brain in school to Bob Murison. I, Jean Bowers, do hereby bequeath my ability of going steady with aboy to Darlene Nelson, providing that she doesn't go with him more than three weeks at a time. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It is the evening of June 1, 1980. The class of 1955 of the Mansfield High School is returning for its first class reunion in twenty-five years. The class has asked Shirley Petersen to be the Mistress of Ceremonies at the banquet, as she was their senior class president. All members, including Mrs. Evans, are present. The M. C. speaks: Fellow class members, this is a very important day. We are celebrating our first class reunion in twenty-five years. Each one of us has led quite an interesting life. I am now going to ask each of you to summarize what has happened to you in the past twenty-five years. We will start with Mrs. Evans, and continue from the eldest to the youngest. Mrs, Evans, our senior class -advisor, has some very interesting news for us. Don't forget she is the 'one who planned this reunion. fApplauseJ Thank you. I am still teaching home economics and commercial subjects at dear ol' M. H. S., but I have acquired another job, that ofprincipal. These duties keep me rather busy, but during my spare time I take care of the children of former students. fApplausej You're next, Grandma Petersen, says Donna. Since she was the oldest member of the class her classmates have been calling her Grandma since 1955. Thank you for the introduction, Donna. I am no more a grandma now than I was twenty-five years ago. My ambition to be a beauty operator has been fulfilled. I am now working on Mars, curling the hair of the Martians. Jean pipes up, I thought all Martians were bald. Yes, they are, and that complicates matters. I spend my spare time flying my space ship around outer space. My passengers are alumni of M. H. S. who are going back to earth for their class reunion. fApplauseJ Gerald Asmussen, the better half of the class, is next. Gerald, what have you to say? Since I have left M. H. S. I have acquired the habit of speech making. I think the Business English class whichlattended during my senior year has helped me a great deal. The first rocket ship to leave the earth contained two Worfle ducks. It landed on Pluto and there, with an abundance of sunshine and fresh air, the Worfle ducks multiplied. I now own a large plantation on that planet which contains about 967,432,789,433,661,000 Worfle ducks. I sell them for 31,000 each to retired school teachers who use them for Skeet shooting at Touhey. Janet asks, How are you getting along with Myrene? Well, now that you ask, I've been so busy watching her and the Worfle ducks that I was almost late to this reunion. By the way, did you know that the Waterville Bakery has closed? QGerald sits down, applausej All right, Jean, you're next. After that splendid speech I'm afraid I don't have very much to say. fLaught'erl After Bob and I broke up I decided to go to Jupiter in search of another lucky man. Lucky or unlucky? Tootie asks. fLaughterJ I found that this planet contains only women, so I came back to earth to make up with Bob. fcontinued after grade school section.J This page sponsored by MEL'S BARBER SHOP, Waterville THE COMBO, Mansfield WATERVILLE VARIETY, Waterville YOUR POLKA DOT STORE, Bridgeport Uwo .Tall !

Among these students were: Myrene Buckingham, Lorraine Bayless, Narda Weller, Darlene Nelson, Beverly Snell, Kenny Greninger, Dick Trimble, Neil Weir, and Melbourne Peterson. During our freshman year, Mr. Owre was our advisor. Newcomers to the class of 1957 were Eleanor Lassiter from Withrow and Fay Clark from Manson. Our initiation was held on a bright September day. The girls dressed in long underwear. The boys, who were more fortunate, wore burlap sacks, nylons, and high heels. We also had egg and perfumed shampoo in our hair. In the evening the sopho- mores gave a party in honor of the initiates. During the year we sponsored various activities among which were a candy sale, a hayride, and the Sophomore Hop. Mr. Riffero was our advisor during our sophomore year. A H'f She Cacia' l r A v . A I 1 L A E nis C 'ml' M UM' I l K ,,,: I K Rf, , i ' 11,7 ,Q -5 'YZF . ,, - w www jkfitb N'-L ' i KZ : .. V '.

Our anxiety was intense as we waited for the classes to begin. Newcomers to the class were: Bert Glessner and Keith Holcomb from Mud Springs, John Ross from Wenatcheeg and John Bundy from South America. Since it has been a custom for many years, the sophomores planned the freshman initiation again. The initiation took place on a bright day in September. The boys and girls wore jeans and shirts so they could work on the football field and wash cars. Other special events included the freshman return party, bake sales, and a roller skating party. if Q a t 3, Q ' mi R15 ,.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder you know. No conceit inyour family, Jean, says Shirley. We are now happily married and live on Neptune. Our twin boys add a great deal to the happiness of our family. Donna, our archeologist, is next. Have you found any interesting old bones yet? Not yet, Shirley, I'm waiting until you die. Because lwas bored with life, I went to Jupiter where I attended college for seven years. Iwas a big success there because there were no men to interfere with my education. Bragging or complaining? Jean asks. I studied the ancient civilization of school teachers of Jupiter until anice boy from Venus came over and fell in love with me. To end the story, they lived happily ever after with their seXtuplets, remarks Janet. Now I will introduce the person who furnished the green cheese for our meal, Janet Avenell. fOoooh!J Thank you, Shirley. I am now private secretary for the man in the moon. I completed two years of Business College in six months and then started my career by typing for the Queen of Venus. I worked up to my present status and am earning one hundred pieces of green cheese a week. Green cheese isn't so bad to eat after you get used to it. The man in the moon must approve of your work, because that is a very high salary for a person of your talents, Tootie exclaims. Since you are so anxious to say something, Tootie Jensen, we will let you have the floor. As I had planned, I became a school teacher. When Saturn became inhabited I decided to go there to teach. On Saturn we have only six months of school and our week- ends are four days long. Recently, I helped devise a method where students can get straight A's without cheating. This simplifies the work for the teachers also. My spare time is spent by exploring the ancient landmarks of Saturn with my eight daughters. fApplauseJ We will now adjourn to Donna's where our old friends are awaiting us for a party. 'H J' ww V 2,3317 MDTQQ, N Szuiwo .Wand A busy organization around M. H, S, is the Senior Band under the direction of Mr. Owre. From the autumn performance for the N. C. W. Fair at Waterville to the Spring Concert on May 31st, this group has been in demand both here and at activities in other places. It has been a year of firsts for the band. New uniforms re- placed street clothes. The pep band was formed to give a boost to the basketball players, Highlight of the year was the Apple Blossom Parade heralding Princess Janet and the Mansfield float. Yes, when one sees the schedule of four home concerts plus numerous programs away from home, plus participation in plays, at ball games, the style show and Commencement, as well as Music Festivals at Okanogan and Ephrata, he truly knows that it has been a busy year.

Primarily a training school for the Senior Band, this group has gained recognition in its own right, appearing in concert with the Senior Band three times during the school year. In the spring, outstanding members were asked to participate in selections with the Senior Band. What the group lacks in experience, it shows in enthusiasm and the will to learn. Mansfield can be justly proud of its Junior Band. BELMONT RADIO AND MUSIC SHOP 31 N.

Through well planned activities such as athletic projects, service projects, social affairs, and pep rallies the objectives of the organization are realized. As one of the athletic projects the Fi Hi Gi sponsored a high school picnic. Serving refreshments to the mem- bers of our team and those ofthe opposing teams was one of the service projects. Among the social projects were slumber parties in honor of the freshmen and seniors, a tea social for mothers, and the installation of officers for the 1955-56 school year. The pep rallies, pep assemblies, and the Drill Team were other projects sponsored by this organization. ln order to help the Brewster Hospital obtain more money for its elevator fund, the Fi Hi Gi sponsored a drawing at which three prizes were awarded to lucky winners. These prizes included a doll with complete wardrobe, a bed, and suitcase, a stuffed dog, and a stuffed kitten. The organization realized 382,00 from this project. The officers of the Fi Hi Gi were Donna Mae Rose, President, Catherine Jensen, Vice-President, Narda Weller, Secretary, Myrene Buckingham, Treasurer, and Kaye Wax, Club Representative. Mr. Riffero is the 1954-55 advisor. Chairmen for the various committees were Janet Avenell, Pep, Eleanor Lassiter, Service, Shirley Petersen, Athletic, and Marilyn Nordby, Social.
