EL RODE O for 1956 Senior Class President . JAY SWINEFORD Vice-President LONNIE MURPIIS' Secretary . . DUANE DEVAURS Treasurer . .... EDNA NIAE BECK ln 1952 a large numher of Freshmen huddled together in frightened groups about the halls, gazing awesomely at the upper classmen who moved ahout so unconcernedly. Qur first social attempt was the Sophomore Return. The following year We did our part in welcoming the Nloahesu with a reception. ln our Junior year the girls inaugurated the HBig Sister custom of helping the new students register and find their classes. During the year We raised money for the loig event, the Junior- Senior Prom, hy selling candy and giving noon dances in the gymnasium. ln loolcing hack over our four years we find that We have been well represented in all activities-athletics, dramatics and chorus. We are proud that in our Senior play, uGroWing Pains. which was the first public performance in three years, our cast played to standing capacity. The profits enaloled us to hold a Senior Vveelc unusually full of varied fun. A delightful Junior-Senior Prom marked the close of our social activities. ln 1956 you may again see us huddled in groups about the halls. This time We are happily discussing our pleasant past four years and our exciting plans for the future. 0 Q o Wm Sfnlmz, Jwezcevf union ,474 5-CAQQZ -- fQ35-30 MARGUERITE DEVAURS LORENA ELlZABE'FH DUTTON LOREN IVIELVIN FURTADO JANE NAN HARTMAN DOROTHY ELIZABETH HARTWIG DOROTHY JEAN LAWRENCE ETHEL RHETA MINK EVELYN CLAIRE SANIJINO DORIS ANNIE STAPP MARJORIE LEE PTHOIVIPSON HELEN LEE THOMPSON HELEN MILENA VYBORNY PATRICIA HELEN VVEBBER
