After a while we began to feel at home and things began to roll We won the Sophomore P, A. L. Championship. Our girls joined the social dub of their choice and began to get acquainted with the upperclassmen. The boys of our class helped to strengthen the sports department of that year. With the help of the sophomore girls in the R. I, F. social club, the first Luau took place. Then came our Junior year with an unforgetable Junior Prom, Night in Venice , under the supervision of Jon Huntsman, Junior Class President. We introduced green and white rooters caps to Paly in our Junior year and wore them to the Tournament of Champions, in which some of our boys participated. At the Publications Carnival we had a marriage booth which helped to increase our treasury and before we realized it, it was time to elect Student Leaders for our all important Senior year. Some of the many changes which were presented to our Senior class were: double noon hours, an addition to the administration — Mr. Ray Ruppel, and the beginning of a more efficient student government. The Bermuda fad was going strong and was quite popular with the senior boys at the Jinx of '55, First Nighter . Our drama department completed a successful year with three student directed one-act plays; the Spring Play. The Torchbearers ; and the first operetta in the history of Paly, Sing Out Sweet Land . Under the direction of our Senior Class President, Towru Ikeda, the Senior Ball was highly entertaining. To conclude three years packed with work and fun under the roof of Paly High we have: final exams, baccalaureate services, Senior Week, and Commencement. We leave to set new and more important records in college, in occupations, and 12 some in the service of our country.
