September, 1954, found us resuming our journey on much higher ground as Jun- iors. Every stop of the way meant much more effort now. Every foot of our advance had to be earned by constructive work. Our pilgrimage had to become a serious busi- ness. During the football season we helped with selling refreshments at the home games. We got our class rings this year. We all hold them as our most valuable pos- session. In honor of the Seniors the Juniors had the Junior and Senior Prom. Our class officers this year were: President-Ronald Carnell, Vice President-Jacob Livingston, His- torian-Edna Folk, Secretary-Andrea Cimbalista, Treasurer-Barbara Patterson. It was with more than a little misgiving that in September 1955, we roused our- selves from the pleasant, comfortable lethargy of summer vacation and resumed our pilgrimage once more. Class advisers this year were: Mr. Treasurer, Mr. Shoenfelt, and Mr. Phillips. Class Officers were: President-Ronald Carnell, Vice President- Ed- ward Reed, Secretary-Norma Wright, Historian-Anna McIntyre, Treasurer-Barbara Pat- terson. Unwavering and unfaltering we must make our way right to the very tip of its highest pinnacle--known as Graduation Summit. If we reach there within the time al- lowed, we shall have succeeded in our pilgrimage. By Anna McIntyre

cuss history PILGRIMS TO THE PROMISED LAND OF 1956 Long ages it seems, but by calendar count it is somewhat less than four years since a band of eager, earnest pilgrims gathered to start on their long and hazardous way together to the Promised Land of 1956. One Hundred and twenty three of them were there on that momentous September morning back in 1952, and they called themselves the class of i956--taking this name from the fact that was the year they were supposed to graduate. Strangers, those 1952 freshmen seem to us now, but it was indeed we who start- ed out that day on the pilgrimage that will end for us soon. Somewhat excitedly we be- gan that freshman year. Adjustments had to be made. By the end of the first month we were pretty well settled down to the years work. Early in the year we elected the fol- lowing class officers: President-Neal Roberts, Vice President-Jacob Livingston, Histo- rian-Faye Barton, Treasurer-Audrey Drenning, Secretary-Marlene Black. Our class advisers were Mr. Brumbaugh, Miss Winnick, and Mrs. Carbaugh. September, 1953, found us ready and anxious to resume our pilgrimage. We were experienced travelers, now on the educational journey. Well acquainted with perils of our itinerary, we were on our guard against them. Delay in completing tasks assigned, indolence, and the habit of taking a chance all these, we knew, led straight to disaster for pilgrims like ourselves seeking to reach the mecca of graduation. Our class advisers, Mr. Shoenfelt, and Mrs. Carabaugh met in the gym with us and we elected the following officers: President-Jacob Livingston, Vice President-David No- testine, Historian-Wayne Rockey, Treasurer-Doris Gail Frye, Secretary-Marlene Black.
