eniot glass lfiatoty The time has come when another class must leave P. H. S. --forever. This time it is the senior class of l955. Sixteen of the present members of our class started on their iourney together: Ruth Keith, Sue Helbig, Jim Brown, Dick Goldsmith, Bud Garrett, Pat Chronister, .bannette Bettac, Otis Port, Howard Compton Bill Ellis, John Fox, Kent Knaus, Nancy Barbour, Alice Mumea, Nelson Roberts, and Carol Jo Cunning- ham. Through the capable hands of Mrs. Harry we started our first year together. Learning the alphabet was the main thing that year. Betty Reed ioined us in our second year. With Mrs. 'VlcFadden as our teacher, I remember how diffi- cult it was to write the ABC's just the right way. With WS. Huffman to lead us through the third grade, we started the year with Pearl Lucas as a new member. I never will forget that day in the fourth grade when Nellie Roberts and Jenny Brown came to school with very curly hair--the result of pin curls the night before. Mrs. Farrar, as our teacher, led us in c good laugh that day, but we were soon back to our struggle with the multiplication tables. Howard Compton and Pearl Lucas left us that year, but both returned later. We started the fifth grade with two new members, Carol Cobb and Dorothy Binion. Mrs. Ervin led us through that year with a Halloween Party being the big social event. We gained two members in the sixth grade, Janet Smith and a former classmate, Pearl Lucas. Dur- ing the last year in grade school, Mrs. Davis answered our many questions and settled our many squabbles . Junior high at last! We were in the seventh grade but how bewildering, this going from class to class, was. Mr. Bishop was our sponsor that year, and a very trying year it was. Larry Vanasdale ioined us in the eighth grade. With the help of our sponsor, Nr. Samaha, we chose our subiects for the coming year. Our freshman year was one we will all remember. Miss Patton, as our sponsor, helped us put on our first dance Buttons and Bows . Howard Compton reioined us this year. In our sophomore year we really began to make money for our trip. Miss Patton, who was again our sponsor, helped us with our Superstitious Shindig . We were now more familiar with high school life. Our iunior year was a very full one. We presented our first class play A-Feudin' Over Yonder . It was a huge success. We had all looked forward to receiving our class rings, and when we did re- ceive them, we exhibited them proudly to everyone who was the least bit interested. Before long it was time to plan for the Junior-Senior Banquet. We chose as our theme Stardust Serenade . We hope Mr. Sarpa, as our sponsor, has as many enioyable memories of that year as we have. We have finally reached the end of the trail. As we took up our classes this year, we came back with a feeling of dignity and a little sadness because this is our last year. This year we welcomed a new member, Marilyn Fisher. We have presented our play, Gown of Glory , and given our annual dance. We have enioyed the Junior-Senior Banquet given us by the Juniors. Mr. Hobson, has helped us a great deal through this quickly passing year. Now as we pass on to a new phase of life, I think we will all look back with a smile to the events of our school life that have led us up to our final year. We will long remember the work and the fun we had with our many teachers and friends as we face the road ahead. Carol Jo Cunningham 20

Marilyn Fisher, secretaryg Carol Jo Cunningham, treasurer. vl- Pearl Lucas, vice-president This is the year 1955 The year we've been waiting for The year in which we labored on To make our goals show more. Each person has a certain goal To achieve after leaving school. And this is the year for each of us To use our knowledge as a lasting tool We have many memories this very year And years that have long since passed But all of these will ever live on Each one filed and classed. Our motto a lasting one For us Is Victory is Ours Forever . It will always remain the same To achieve it is our endeavor. The class who has a chosen flower A carnation so pure and white Shows our thoughts to be the best And our dispositions gay and light. Our colors which are blue and white The blue for loyalty stands The white is tor our purity ln this we all ioin hands. The seniors will join me in saying For the day is approaching to leave. We'll miss this school and its teachers But new seniors you soon will receive. ---Marilyn Fisher C. Otis Port, president
