Class History The class of '55 entered the halls of S.B.H.S. on Sept. 4, 1951 with the same feeling that all freshmen have. Even though we thought we were an exceptional class, we made the same old fresh- man mistakes. We chose red and gray as our class colors and Mr MacDougal and Mrs. Brady as our class ad- visors. On October 3 we were initiated by the up- perclassmen who showed us no mercy. We found out later than we were the last class to ever go through such an undignified process. Our first social venture, the Freshman Frolic, was held Nov. 9 to the theme of Sweet Violets. On Sept. 8, 1952, we came back to school, a little wiser to the ways of the world. The Sopho- more Hop, held during the 2nd semester was our contribution to the social calendar of 1955. The theme of the dance was You Belong to Me. We came back to school in the summer, Cit seemed likej, August 31, 1953, to get right in the swing of school life. The junior Prom was a big event of the winter months. The date was Decem- ber 19, and the theme was Winter Wonderland. Though some people doubted our ability to give a successful play performance, we tackled our first one under the able direction of Mrs. Woodall. The premiere performance of Gangway for Ghostsf' a three act comedy was given March 19, in the high school auditorium. It was considered a financial suc- cess. On August 30, 1954 we came back to scho-ol, determined to make the class of ,55 a remembered one in the history pages of S.B. H.S. Our first financial undertaking was a car wash which netted a moderate sum, but provided more fun. But still not satisfied with the size of our treas- ury we decided to sponsor a Jantzen sweater raffle. When Senior Play time rolled around we con- sidered ourselves old hands at producing plays. With a new director, Mrs. Betty Jackson, we energetically began hehearsing for our three act comedy Act Your Age. With the aid of a new set and new make-up, vge made the finished product something to be proud o . A new twist to the big event of the year fthe Senior Balll was given by us including the Juniors and making it a Junior-Senior Ball. The combined efforts of both classes made this affair a grand suc- cess. It is with mixed emotions we view the thought of approaching commencement. It makes us realize that our days at S.B.H.S. are numbered. We are the 50th class to be graduated from South Bend. The 49 before us may have had more fun than us, but we will always think of our days in high school ones of happiness. We leave you now with the responsibility of keeping the name of South Bend High School way up on top. .,:. ..
