CLASS SONG 'Neath the roof of N. H. S. Where we have gone for twelve long years We are leaving now. But with passing of the years We find we've changed somehow. Football, basketball and track, We've bettl d in For victories In good old N. H. S. But now the time has come for us To leave it all behind. CHORUS: When our class bids the school goodbye, 1 We will leave with a dream and sigh. it seems as though we knew That we are porting bvv, And we will wander 'far, In life's careers, When we think of our tcacher's true. And our friends whom were not so few. We hate to leave it all behind, But then success we'll try to find, When our class bids the school goodbye. Tunes 'When the Leaves Bid the Trees Goodbye'

CLASS HISTORY The feu datidn and cornerstone of the illustrious class of 1956 was laid when a group of timid boys and girls entered Newport Grade School why beck in 1924 as first graders. Of that group we find seven in the present graduating class: Douglas McArthur, Mildred Hutchcreft,Berenice Evans, lille Tarbet, Charles Re1dt,Bob Berneek, and Alice Straight. Before we realized lt, eight whole years had slipped by and we were a class of twenty-five eighth graders gredut ing from Newport Grade School. At graduation exercises Willa Tarbet and Willis Holcomb were awarded the American Legion Metals for being the two outstanding members of the class. We had new passed one of the important milestones in our lives and were ready to enter New port High School as full fl dged-freshman. 'Will all freshman pres nt please rise and sing the High School song?n This was in 1982 and the first introduction of 56 green fresh to N.H.S. Although we were off to a very bed start indeed,but our capable class adviser a d class president, Miss Schultzzmd Jean Pearce, pulled us through successfully with a few candy sales and e pop corn sale to ou credit. At the latter we made a net profit of 124. Nevertheless, we had many good times thft year even lfthe up pereclassmen looked upon us as quite lowly creatures andlmmtzgreat deal of pleasure out of lettin us know it. The year ended with wthe annual High School picnic at Diamond Lake where a glorious day was spent in swimming, boating, hiking and playing baseball. September 1955 found us again entering Newport High. As green fresh? Never! we were now confident sophomores. With Berenice Evans as President and lr. Crosetto class advisor, we were ready to do big things, one of which was a weiner roast down by the river. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and looked forward to having many more good times together. In February of that year, two of our teachers were married, Ur. Crosetto, adviser of our class and Miss Annonen, adviser of the juniors. The two classes promptly get to gather and gave a party for the newlywcds and presented them with an electric toaster with the promise from them that any time we wanted to visit them we would receive upon request all the toast we could devour. Before we knew it the month of May had rolled around once more and we found ourselves looking forward to our ju ior year. Upperclassmenl Was it possible? Time certainly does fly. The fall and winter of that year were spent in getting class rings and having sales to raise extra funds for our treasury. In December we gave an all high school party, using Christmas as the motif for decorations. We shall never forget the hilarious style show in which the latest modes were modeled by boys of the class.
