REPRESENTATIVE MEN The Sigma Kappa Sigma was founded as an honorary Senior Key Society by the 1935 “Oil Can” with the hope that each succeeding yearbook staff would perpetuate the society by adding three representative men and three representative women to it, the selections to be made by the Senior Class in secret ballot. The present staff, believing that such a society, having its membership based on scholastic standing, extra-curricular activities,

These committees were elected at officers: RING AND PIN COMMITTEE David Sharp Audean Thompson Jean Rybak Christine White BANQUET COMMITTEE Edward Sibble Lily Baer Harold Myers DANCE COMMITTEE Elizabeth Hart Robert Ryan Almeatha Sheatz the same time as the above mentioned PICNIC COMMITTEE Allan Lantz-David McCarthy Marian Fye PLAY COMMITTEE Ernest Cartwright Harry Siegall Robert Ryan Ruby Frye ANNUAL COMMITTEE George Brooks Donald Karns Vance Tussey Salvatore Venturella Virginia Simpson Willard Lehnortt My memory pauses for a few moments upon “Nuts To You,” the hilarious farce, which was presented by the Senior class. The Seniors who participated in this were: Jack Costanza, Bob Buckley, Sam Grant, Gene Williams, Helen Johnson, Elizabeth Moore, Jack Russ, Steve Kowal, Eleanor Gray, Helen Switzer, Sarah Rhoades, Edward Reynolds, David Sharp, Earl Curtis, Harry Caldwell and Helen Milner. A reminisence of thrills, mystery, surprise, and suspense, fills my mind with recollections of the mystery play, “ hispering Walls.” Among the diligent workers of the cast were four Senior boys—Bob Buckley, Jack Costanza, Bob Ryan and Steve Kowal. Numerous members of our class took part in the opera, “Carmen” presented on February 24, 25, and 27. From here my memory drifts into the coming months, which bring to us the biggest thrills of our lives. My mind is filled with the thoughts of enjoyment and entertainment which 1 am sure we will get at the Senior Banquet in May. I his event will constitute the final, or one of the final, merry-making gatherings of the class of ’56, a celebration in direct contrast to the solemnity which will prevail at the Baccalaureate services to be held the Sunday before Commencement. I do not know of one who is not looking forward to the night of June 8, for the receiving of diplomas and also the witnessing of the play, She Stoops To Conquer. The cast of this play, which is directed by Mr. Lewis, will include: Helen Johnson, Arlene Kitelinger, Julia Koszalka, Helen Milner. Elizabeth Moore, Nina Pearson, Helen Switzer, George Brooks, Robert Buckley, Harry Caldwell, Jack Costanza, Earl Curtis, Samuel Grant, David Rosen, Stephen Kowal, Luke Kresinski, Edward Reynolds, Robert Ryan, Jack Russ, and Vance Tussey. The meditation drifting to an end brings me to the thoughts of the Junior-Senior picnic. The success of this depends largely upon the committee which was mentioned before. Time has fled until I picture the arrival of the Junior prom. Although this is the conclusion of our high school activities, it doesn’t mean the end of our many friendships. After several hours of this delightful contemplation, I realize that I must get to work in order to make some use of my high school training: therefore I set aside any remaining pleasant memories and reserve them for future enjoyment.
