I0 As the senior class of T956 looks back on its four years at Meridian High School, the graduates can't help but think of all the activities they took part in and all the fun they had. At first they were rather lost, but the sophomores fixed that by initiating them into the student body. Now they really belonged and they began to show it by joining in the activities of the school. They started off by choosing Beverly Anderson, Barbara Carlson, and Randee Melos as yell leaders and Darlene Mitchell and Jean Andersen as song leaders to urge their junior high teams on to victory. They were also represented in the band and drill team. The class of '56 has always sponsored a dance each year which has been well attended and very successful. Some of the themes have been Winter Serenade and Harvest Moon. Another tradition of this class has been to have a picnic at Whatcom Falls Park near the end of each school year. In their sophomore year the class of '56 took their revenge at last and initiated the poor freshmen. This year Barbara Carlson represented her class as one of the yell leaders for the student body and Randee Melos was one of the song leaders. During their junior year Maureen Feenstra was the chairman of the Junior What-Not which was different from what it had been in past years. The juniors put on two one-act plays, The Revolt of Mother and Ringing in the Groom. Toast of the Town was the theme for the variety acts with Buzz Hill as emcee. The annual junior-senior banquet and prom were beautiful with the theme of Starlight Wonderland. This year the prom was held in the Crystal Ball Room of the Leopold Hotel. Beverly Anderson was the general chairman for this affair. The class of '56 started off its senior year with a bang when they went on their senior sneak to the Puyallup Fair in September. For their senior play they pre- sented a three-act comedy play entitled Strictly Formal. The seniors were given a wonderful farewell in May in the form of a banquet and prom. The class of T956 was honored and proud to be the first class to have bac- calaureate and graduation in the new gymnasium. These two occasions completed a wonderful and exciting four years for them at Meridian High School. www
