vugtuivur-1----1 - - '- f Class Histor For the first two years of our high school career the class of 1956 attended four diff- erent high schools: Searles: Roeliff Jansen: Sheffield: and New Marlboro. Although we studied at the same schools in our third year, we were united under the establishment of Mount Everett Regional School, and all were considered as Mt. Everett students. As we reached the exalted rank of Seniors , we were finally privileged to enter the new Mount Everett Regional School and emerge as its first graduating class. Let's now trace our jour- ney. Four years ago five space-ships left the five stars of the constellation, Auriga, with Earth as their destination. The names of these ships from outer space were: Searles I, built in Monterey: Searles II, built in Egremont: Roe Ian, built in Alford: Sheffield: and New Marlboro. During the first three years of their journey, Searles I and Searles II training crews enjoyed a well-balanced educational course. In their third year aloft they were detained from landing because the aerial academy at Sheffield was not ready for habitation. In their freshman year the Roe Ian ship was under repair: therefore, the crew rode in the Searles II ship. The second year the crew transferred to their own ship and continued for the remainder of their stint straight on course. Eleven girls formed the passenger list for the New Marlboro air line during their three years together. Bill Eigen, whom authorities transferred from New York, assumed command over the female contingent for the last lap of the trip. Meanwhile the space-ship, Sheffield, made fast progress and was held on course by its able advisors. Roll call of the thirteen recruits was taken by Mrs. Roraback. At the beginning of the third year, the ships interrupted their course to meet at Mars Air Terminal, where they changed their names to Mt. Everett. Their destination was pin- pointed as the Mt. Everett Regional School on Earth. Before we fully realized it, zero hour approached and we all landed at Mt. Everett Regional where Commander Bybee met us at the door. Shirley Snyder and David Germaine climbed from the rocket constructed in Alford. Alighting from the rocket built in Egremont were Rose Kirchner and Oscar Grahn. From the Monterey rocket emerged Leslie Ward. A whole platoon consisting of Martha Brewer, Clarissa Emprimo, Anita Sellew, Alma Stalker, Lenora Wells, Betty Chamberlain, Patricia Stanton, Deanna Emprimo, and William Eigen emerged from the New Marlboro rocket. Next came the Sheffield Squadron with Betty Gibbs , Geraldine Taylor, Dorothy Bassett, Beatrice Swan, Gertrude Conklin, Linda Gaylord, Car- olyn Woodbeck, Steve Macchi, Philip Ball, Fred Franklin, Philip Boardman, and Richard Howden. Already arrived from the Housatonic Valley Regional rocket was Io Hayburn. Do- lores Kinarney of Iersey City, New Iersey, was the last to join our force. Mrs. Iayne Arm- strong and Mr. Trocchi were ready with last minute advice and instruction before turning us loose on this island, Earth. The chief officers of the crew were: Captain, Gertrude
