OPQLUOI' I will not follow where the path may lead but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail. Muriel Stone The first students to graduate from Parkville High School, the Class of 1956, did not have a path to fol- low. The class has tried to set a good example for underclassmeng trying to lead the way for others to follow. During the years of the senior class, the school publication, The Pioneer and the student council came into existence. Other precedents were set: the operetta, spring play, Christmas play, and the an- nual senior Hallowe'en Hop. A member of the Class of '56 designed the school seal. Seniors led the stud- ents in school spirit by supporting the alma mater and the cheerleaders. The Class of 1956 hopes that by doing these things a path has been left for others to follow. 4

Parkville is growing-in total enrollment, in its curri- culum offerings and in activities. The solu- tion of some of the problems occasioned by our rapid growth has required the best of all of us. Much has happened since we moved to this school a little over three years ago. The most encouraging thing that has happened, and can continue to happen, is the increasing realization by the student body that high school means more than merely attending classes. It means participating in classes sat- isfactorily and with ever increasing achieve- ment, it means accepting responsibility for the management, morale, and the spirit of .14 Wed5age rom .7lte lgrincilaa the schoolg it means developing as a person intellectually, emotionally, and spirituallyg it means leaving the high school ready to go on to higher fields of learning or to participate in the work of the world as mature in- dividuals. In accomplishing these gains the class of 1956 has, as the Hrst graduating class, been willing to assume its responsibility for leadership. To those who are leaving Parkville I ex- tend my very best wishes for a satisfying and successful career. It has been a pleasure to know you and to work with you in the solu- tion of your problems and those of a newly- formed school. It will always be a pleasure to welcome you at this school whenever you have an opportunity to return. NORRIS A. KING Principal
