The Beginning Of A Success Story As the end draws near for the class of '56 they are saddened by the thought of soon leav- ing their dear old Alma Mater, But they have so many memories to cherish through the years to come. Their first big step came when they ordered their class rings. Reminding them of that long awaited year of i956 which came sooner than they expected. As Juniors they came one step closer. There was the Junior Jamboree, the class play Beauty and the Beef and the Junior-Senior Prom. At last their year finally came. This is the year that will linger longest in their minds be- cause it is the last one. First came election of class officers and senior council members who planned their last Christmas Dance, Snowflake Fantasy. Following the holiday season was the class play, Curtain Going Up, a top-notch pro- duction. Soon came Class Night, Senior Teas, Banquets, and finally . . . Commencement. This now closes the book of Moments to Remember for the Class of '56.
