They have the largest class that has ever been graduated from McGraw Cen- tral. Our first big project of this year was the Senior Play under the direction of Mrs. Anthony. Although we fooled around backstage. off stage, and on stage. 6'Headed for Eden was a success on November 17 and 18. After the fun of the Senior Play it took us a while to settle down to serious work such as selling ads for our yearbook. the L'lVlac.', Once we got started. we proved to be good salesmen for we went over the required amount. With the yearbook ads collected or billed, we started our plans for the Senior trip. With all our plans com- pleted, we left for New York and Washington on March 23. spending five exciting days touring New York City and enoying the beauty of our Nation's Capital. Although the trip is over we will remember forever the fun we had. All through the many activities. there was still homework. With help from Mrs. Nellenback, our class advisor, we managed to be a success in activities and home- work. Our class was exceptionally active in extracurricular activities. All eleven boys of our class participated in sports during high school, and seven of our girls have been cheerleaders. Twenty-five of the seniors have taken part in the chorus. They have also been represented in the band, Rifle, F.H.A.. F.F.A., and other activities offered at M.C.S. The class of 1956 selected the blue carnation as the class flower, light pink and light blue as class colors, and the motto: One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.
