Class Histor ' In 1952, we, the class of '56, being fifteen in number, entered Silt Union High School after eight delightful years Cfor us not the teachersl, in grade school. Our reputation having preceeded us we at once put under a one day reign of silence and torture. This is a custome known as Freshman Initiation. After surviving this day we went on to enjoy the rest of the year. In the early part of our Sophomore year we thoroughly initiated another group of green Freshmen. The rest of the year passed quietly with each student participating in many more a activities. As usual we spent most of our time having fun fmostlyl and studying Csometimesl. In our Junior year we published the school newspaper, The Pirate's Log , to add to an already busy year of money making. In December we presented a three-act comedy, The Slow- poke . During the basketball season we sold pop and candy at the home games. All year long we sold candy at the noon hour. In March we presented a Talent Show which netted us a nice profit. Then after what seemed like years of struggling with crepe paper, wire, ladders, etc. we presented our Prom and Banquet on May 6, 1955. The theme was Winter Wonderland and Sharon Hasselbush reigned over the Prom. In March we presented a three-act comedy Dear Diary to help raise money for the first big event of our Senior year, Sneak Day. Following this will come Baccalaureate and then on May 23, 1956, --Graduation! As we, the class of '56 having diminished in number to ten, but still having fun, look back on four wonderful years in high school, we can't help but think: What will they do without us 'P Ten Years Hence-- My plane is just getting ready to land at the Silt Airport. After landing I hail a taxi-cab. The driver to my surprise is Don Mann. I have him take me to the Pulp Mill where I am to place an order for my Company. On the way I ask him to catch me up on the news of the Class of 1956. He tells that Silt now has a population of 15, 000 because of the Pulp Mill, which is a corporation called Sniper Incorporated, owned by Doug Snider and Carl Piper. Don tells me that Silt has a woman's college where Iayne Bendetti is the Dean. Also a new hospital where Leona Draper is a famous brain surgeon. On the way we go through the residential section where I notice two large homes, Don tells me that the former Betty Ukele, who is the wife of the City Mayor, and her family lives in one. Across the boulevard lives my former school chum, Susie Thomas. i She is married to the Uranium King of Colorado. Continuing on we pass a large drive-in with a neon sign reading--Sharon's Sundries. I ask Don to stop for a cold drink and to my disappointment Sharon Hasselbush is not in because she is the guest speaker at the national convention for her chain drive-ins. Once more we start out for the Pulp Mill. Upon arrival I am greeted by Doug Snider who takes me on a tour. In the Sales Department I discovered that Carol McClung is the head Secretary. Doug takes me up to Carl's office so I can place my order His personal secretary is none other than Shirley Hasselbush. As my plane leaves Silt I can not help but be happy at the progress that the Class of 1956 has acquired.
