Joseph Szwaia. In our iunior year when he was our class adviser, we first became fully aware of his outstanding qualities. At that time, he was an inspiring leader in everything we undertook. He continued to be an understanding, interested, and helpful guide even after we became seniors and were no longer in his sponsored group. Teaching with his unusual talent for making historical data vital and challenging, he has awakened many of us to new interests. With this dedica- tion we wish to honor Ivlr. Szwaia as a fine person, an ,nspiring teacher, and a helpful counselor. 5 THE SETTING ff fy .EA ff .1 .. ,f ,W - ' ' . . ' fav. . my 'A A AL A' 4., su, X 's, r 'J' J ,W Judy Davidson at her easel.

Histor Of The Class Of I9 6 Until we entered the high school building as seventh graders, the class of l956 was not one class, but several. For six years we had been rivals, occasionally combining our efforts in a ioint project but usually competing, Pleasant Street School against Prospect Street School. By getting together, we caused a classroom shortage problem, since we were nearly twice as large in number as the preceding class. Our seventh and eighth grade experiences were not unusual, but it was difficult to become familiar with the change of atmosphere and activities. lviany of us participated in band, orchestra, iunior high sports, and Glee Club. Phrases of The Walrus and the Car- penter still flit through our minds occasionally. In September, 1952, the curtain rose on our high school careers. As freshmen, we took one important step, we chose our class colors tdark blue and whitet and ordered beanies accordingly. We soon recuperated from the shocking first effects of The Merchant of Venice, 4x - y Q 7, and cogo, cogere, coegi, coactus, and began enioying i?t them. As sophomores we were busier with our added responsibilities. We were not too busy, however, for class parties, and some of us found jobs for the first time. With the help of Miss Iifierthe, our class sponsor, we prepared for and lived through a Roman Banquet. Later in the spring we were invited to serve at the Junior-Senior Prom. Activities began to pile up in our iunior year. Most of us were active in sports. Many girls were invited to join the Fine Arts Club, and the boys helped reorganize the Hi-Y. Under the able direction of Ivir. Szwaia, our adviser, we undertook many protects to raise money. Finally, the Prom! Everyone agreed it was one of the best proms ever held in the school. Before the year was over we elected Dick Jones as Senate President, When we ushered at graduation, we wondered if wewould ever follow in the seniors' footsteps. For most of us, our senior year has been, without a doubt, the best and most excit- ing year of school, First of all, we elected Dave Hanrner as president of the class, and a very reliable staff of officers to work with him. Early in the year we ordered class sweaters and pins, and began working in our annual. tCongratulations to Mrs. Hungate. It is finally completed! i Through the year we had trips to see plays, a tour of various plants in Cleve- land, and a final very long, all-day trip to Detroit and Dearborn. Toward the end ofthe year, the unwritten papers and necessary duties scorned endless, but since we have lived through that-and most of us did--we feel prepared for almost anything. We are forever indebted to Mrs. Hannon for the many, many hours of time she has devoted to assistinc us in finding solutions to our roblcms of the resent and in makin J l P P Q plans for the future, in addition to her responsibilities in helping us in her classroom. We do appreciate all that she has done. We approached graduation with a mixture of emotions--sadness, happiness, satisfac- tion, and surprise. We are Ieavinr Oberlin Hirli with man vor recious memories. J J Y Y P Senior Honor Students Although many groups in our civiliza- tion assist the school in its task of de- veloping fine young people, the especial emphasis of the school itself is upon the development of mental ability and self- discipline as shown in superior scholastic attoinments. The eight students pictured on this page constitute the top ten per cent of their class of eighty on the basis of scholastic excellence during the four years they have spent in Oberlin High School. Their superior records deserve very high praise, and we honor them for their outstanding achievement.

With the addition ot several new instruments, a new sousaphone and a bassoon, in particular, the band has greatly improved in sound as was witnessed at its spring con- cert. The new uniforms provided by the hard working Band-Orchestra-Parents added a smart touch to the halt-time shows for the football games and for the parades tor the Mock Con- vention and Memorial Day.
