If ALFRED WILKINSON, leave the Senior’s elevator to the next year’s Seniors who will also have their ups and downs. I, ROBERT G. WILKINSON, leave my women or woman trouble to RICHARD SIEBERT. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the above class of ‘55’ as and for our LAST WILL and TESTAMENT. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1951- 1952 Just think! We’re in high school. This was the thought of everyone as we entered our homeroom on September 12, 1951. During our Freshman year our class increased from twenty-eight to the grand total of thirty-four. Since we were just getting accustomed to the high school activities, not many entered into them; however, our boys formed a basketball team that won the intramural championship all the way through school. Lina Clifton made the basketball team and Jim Gregory played first string football, as well as baseball. 1952- 1953 Our activities during the second year in high school were more numerous and varied. Mrs. Chambers became our homeroom teacher and class advisor. Under her direction we held a Sophomore Hop on November 14, and in May we terminated our year’s activities with a hay- ride, beach party at Prime Hook. During the course of the year, everyone belonged to at least one organization in the school, and by the end of the year, we were already looking forward to the prom which we would give the seniors the coming year. 1953- 1954 Prom time was the main topic of discussion in homeroom period during our Junior year. Our first problem was to make more money so that we could present an outstanding prom. This was accomplished by having a bake, a movie, and a play. The movie “Easy to Love,” was held at the Milton Theater through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Scott. Our Junior play, “Boys About Bobbette,” was the first Junior play to be presented in Milton High School. Finally, after many weeks of preparation. May twenty-eighth came. The auditorium doors were unlocked for the school and the public to see “Davy Jones Locker,’ which was the theme of our prom. The class of this year brought new and numerous problems to prepare ourselves to face our final and most important year of high school. 1954- 1955 Senior year in high school is very exciting as we were soon to find out. Just after school started we began practicing for our play “Papa was a Preacher.’ At the same time we de- cided to have a year book and commenced to work on it. We presented a movie “Her Twelve Men” on November 14 and 15. When we went back to school after the Christmas vacation, we were looking forward to our Senior trip, which would take place sometime in April. As the end of our high school days grew closer, we faced our biggest problem of all. What should we do when we get out of school?
