Petersburg High School - Missile Yearbook (Petersburg, VA)

Page 17 text:

am .pions HE MEMBERS of the Senior Class of Petersburg High School are the champions of this 1956 Missile. For four years they have strived to obtain this high honor. The class of ’56 will be the first senior class to be represented in the Missile organized as a yearbook. This is a great honor, and the seniors have done much— devoting their time and energy to making this Missile a worthwhile project. This senior class has been a very outstanding one in many ways. The students have excelled in scholarship and have contributed much to the spirit of Petersburg High School by participating in school activities. In June, members of this class will graduate, and the last lap of the Olympic race will be completed. Each will then go on to run his own separate course, whether it be in furthering his education, enter- ing a branch of the service, or engaging in a chosen field of work. May the Olympic torch be a symbol for this senior class, and may it always burn brightly in remembrance of the class of 1956 eleven
