Many important national and international events occurred during the summer vacation which preceded our senior year. lt is yet too soon to tell how marked an effect the international events will have on the course of world history. ln June, the Russian government publicly de- nounced their late leader Joseph Stalin. The denunciation extended to the Soviet satellites. Soon afterward, patriots marched through the streets of Pozan, a town in western Poland, de- manding bread and liberty. Soldiers were forced by their Communist officers to shoot down their countrymen, and more than 100 patriots died that day. ls the Russian hold weakening? Two giant airliners collided over the Grand Canyon, and 128 lives were lost. Reasons for the collision were never determined, since neither of the planes had been in contact. On July 25th, the Italian luxury-liner, Andrea Doria, and the Swedish-American ship, the Stock- holm, collided in the fog off the Atlantic coast at .'7'fl v',- iv. - x ,. - -'4 J -- s.,':.- L1 .xi -.-f r ,ljitf 1-if 1- . --f . - if .

Adlai Stevenson for President, and Estes Kefauver for Vice-Presi- dent, were nominated by the Democrats in Chi- cago, and a little later in San Francisco, the Re- publicans re-nominated Dwight Eisenhower for President, and Richard Nixon for Vice-President. Vigorous campaigning got underway. Before we knew it, vacation was over, and we were beginning our last year in high school. There were name cards to select, our senior portraits to be taken, the plans for Farmer's Day to be made, work on the yearbook to be started, and the Senior Play to be selected. And we soon realized that nothing was busier than a senior homeroom, or a senior class meeting. There was always some paper or other to be signed, a count to be taken to see how many were going to a dance, and hundreds of announcements to be made. Every day there was an announcement of the names of the hall monitors and their stations. Hall monitors were something new for Northern. The seniors all got a chance to do their duty for the school, in helping to regulate traffic in the overcrowded halls. All of us will remember with mixed emotions our tours of duty in the 30 corridor. lt was good practice for the senior boys who played football, though. Football had been introduced in the senior high on a JV schedule. We experienced the un- explainable thrill of a pep assembly before ci football game, and saw the boys win four games on our home field. Again in the Series it was the Dodgers against the Yankees, but this time it was the Yanks four games to two, and the Yank's Don Larsen pitched a perfect game. Knowing this would be our last Farmer's Day, -...'f 'rf pf A.

O' we wanted a beautiful float, and we did have one, even if we had to use finishing paper for those flowers. The name was Moonglow, and it was our most successful float, though we won another third prize in Dillsburg, for we capped flSl00 at Hanover. The football team selected Diana Hudson as the Football Queen, and with her junior attend- ants, Mildred Krone and Connie Trostle, she reigned over the football dance. The world situation was critical when Presi- dent Eisenhower was re-elected by an avalanche of over 9,000,000 votes. American voters elected a Democratic Congress. The Suez Canal, which had been seized by Egypt's Nasser earlier in the year, was invaded by Israel, England, and France. After a ceasefire was ordered, the United Nations sent a police force of neutral nations into the area, to attempt a peaceful settlement of the critical situation. In declaring a hands off policy the United States aroused the hostility of the English government,

'vs' We returned to school in September under a new school adminstration, supervising principal M. Luther Scott, and high school principal Dale W. Smith, to find that many changes had taken place. Eventually, we became accustomed to closed lunch periods, and carrying passes with us in the halls. Class leaders in our junior year were: president, Glenn Mclieever, vice-president, Eileen Weigard, secretary, Dale Zeiders, treasurer, Harold Bent- zel. Northeastern United States was still dazed from the most destructive flood that ever occur- red in the country. The flood was caused by the heavy rains that accompanied hurricanes Diane and Connie during August. Total property damage in the six states altected totaled S1,600,000,000. 191 lives were lost. On September 24, 1955, the unexpected news of President Eisenhower's heart attack shocked the nation. lt was described by the president's doctors as a moderate coronary thrombosis. Later, the stock market rose again, and industry and the nation breathed a sigh of relief when his recovery was certain. On highway 101 in California, a speeding sports car crashed, and motion picture actor James Dean was dead. The date was September 30th, but Jimmy Dean is still as popular as he was before his death. We remember his perform- ances in Rebel Without A Cause, and East of Eden. The Dodgers took the Series from the Yank- ees, four games to three. Our younger brothers looked surprisingly rough and tough in their purple and white foot- ball togs as the game was introduced to our school in the iunior high, with plans for senior high participation the following year. Then came another Farmer's Day, another float, this time named Beautiful Dreamer, more flowers, and another third prize. On October 31, Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth ll of England, announced that she had decided not to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend. A great step took place in our labor unions when the CIO and the AFL merged. On December 12, the Ford Foundation announc- ed a grant of S500,000,000 to 4,157 privately supported U. S. colleges, hospitals, and univer- sities. ln February, the very successful play, Ram- shackle lnn was presented by the school. Junior cast members were Judy Slothower, Tillie Slyder, Ronald Wallace, and Art Rider. In boy's wear, khakis were beginning to re- place wranglers, and slacks were seen more fre- quently. Shirts were getting brighter and bright- er, and every one seemed to have a pink one. At the same time V-neck sweaters became pop- ular. While girls were getting their hair cut shorter and shorter, the boys were letting theirs get longer and curlier. The fad was to have an iden- tiflcation tag necklace with either your own, or that certain someone's name engraved on it. We listened to the records of the Fabulous Four Freshmen, and Gina Lollobrigida stepped into the spotlight to compete with Marilyn. The music we listened to was rock and roll, and a singer from Tennessee was creating a sensation in that field. lt wasn't the singing, but the mo- tions that accompanied the singing that caused the stir. Yes, it was Elvis Presley. We made our plans, and held our Junior-Sen- ior Prom at the Hotel Yorktowne in York. We dined and danced in the ballroom, which was decorated with pink roses and white candles, to the music of the Will Fisher Orchestra. Big headlines were made when a prince from a small European country, Monaco, fell in love with and married one of our glamourous movie actresses, Grace Kelly. We saw the class of '56 graduate, and were reluctant to believe that in another year, we would be in their place. 2 K 'X M '1 H 1' R if .1 mi vm i I fa -1 N it SRE z it 'ill V2 , - 11145- ., ...MA Y, ..., gg:Li??4s-Jfiisqi L, 452: ..-..1s4-e:irff 'iQ gftJ1:..- .:f'1AH-.-' V. - Jlzisek'-' -2 --'E' 'urbw-' .-GLW . .f .a,'.f'- ,.Jy:'Q3fg,:7 .1f,,.Qf:..s. . 75 '-RLY 'tt'i2s.1..e15ffE? r F -' -. ---f .

but increased our prestige among the neutral nations of the world. Russia announced that she would allow volunteers to fight on the Egyptain side. Contributing to the world turmoil, were the Hun- garian revolts against their Russian oppressors. For a short time, the Hungarian people triumphed, and it seemed that the Communist hold on the country had been broken. But victory was short lived, and Russia moved in with more military equipment and troops. The Communists were in control once more. Refugees streamed into Austria by the thousands. America, among other countries, opened their doors to the homeless, and gave them freedom they could not gain in their own country. Turning to the brighter side of our senior year, let's look at the fashions. There were now more boys wearing slacks than Wranglers. Their shirts with the bright colors and new syles, were enough to make the girls turn green with envy. The most popular shirts seemed to be the dark vertical striped ones. Both boys and girls wore the Ivy League styles, with back-belted slacks for the boys, and back-belted slim skirts for the girls. They also had in common identical striped skirts and car coats. Like our yearbook, the new cars for 1957 were very long, low, and streamlined. You Can't Take It With You was selected as our Senior Play, the cast was chosen, and all of the members of the class were given an op- portunity to help make the production a success, by serving on the various committees. . . ... ....-.:.-:A-.1fr.-...-1-,-f.---ww-:fig I -.,-3-Il-I--...,,,,.. ,II .F M ,I I III I .I4IIII I,w ,I.II s.--:::'.f.a:r -lff+'i -a-yzcrefer -- A .f . -- -.--.- -. -..a--AW -,,,, sf. - .

I nu On November 19th, the senior World Affairs class went on a field trip to Philadelphia ac- companied by Mr. Smith and Mr. Kaup. We boarded the train at Harrisburg, and had a car all to ourselves, .which was fortunate for the other people on the train. We were sleepy, but too excited to sleep on the train, besides, too many of our classmates were wandering up and down the aisle. From the 30th Street station, we boarded two sight-seeing buses, for a tour of historic Phil- adelphia. We visited Christ Church, the Betsy Ross House, and Independence l-lall. We arrived at Franklin Institute only to find that it was closed on Mondays, so we toured John Wanamaker's Store in the morning instead of the evening as planned. We had lunch at the Horn and Hardart Automat, and then went to the Boyd Theater to see the cinerama production Seven Wonders of the World. After leaving the theater, we had a few free hours, in which to eat supper and wander at will until eight o'clock, when we met in front of Wanamaker's. We then boarded the train for home. ln spite of aching feet, everyone enjoyed themselves very much. We hope to enjoy ourselves in New York as much as we did in Philadelphia, as our senior year draws to a close. We will treasure our days in high school as some of the happiest in our lives. Though we felt that we had no freedom, we will find as we take our place in the world, that these were the most carefree years of our lives. That the age we live in through-out our lives may be as enjoyable as was Our Age is the earnest wish of every senior. And may the lessons which we learned, guide us in all that we do.
