Class History “Memories Are Made Of This” A dreamy dance with silver stars sprinkling the heavens; a king; a queen; the girls in filmy evening dresses exposing bare shoulders; the boys uncomfortably handsome in white shirt and fancy tie; the essence of youth enjoying life--Memories Are Made Of This'. At our Junior Prom on June 3, 1955, we chose the Stardust Waltz as our theme. Stuart Crandall's Orchestra played for us. Ralph Bush was chosen as our king and Nancy Shaver was crowned queen. Casting, learning lines, rehearsals, a few short-tempered words, plenty of laughs and near-disastrous incidents; a few romantic by-plays; problems of lighting and stage scenery; then first production night with two hundred people on the other side of the footlights and the blood pounding heavily in our veins--Memories Are Made Of This. For our Senior Play, we chose a hillbilly comedy Headin' For The Hills . We had eighteei evening rehearsals and staged the finished production on the nights of November 29 and 30. We worked hard on it, but we enjoyed it and none of us will ever forget it. One of our major problems all through high school was that of earning money for our Senior trip to Washington in the Spring of our graduation year. We had bake sales, sold news- papers and magazines and sponsored numerous dances featuring the renowned Barefoot Bob and his W esternaires. As this is written in February of 1956, we have $ 1,025.73 in our treasury--enough to give a real swell time in Washington. Boy, we can't wait'.!! Now to get down to the fundamentals usually included in a Class History. When we entered High School as unruly Freshmen, the following of our present Seniors were with us: Fred Nelson, Violet Van Pelt, Nancy Shaver, Tom Jensen, Richard Wood, Wayne Ezick, Harold Sisson, Lewis Dain and Ronald Daniels. In our Sophomore year, our school district took in the populace of Springvale and the following were added as our classmates: Janice Vanderwarker, Norma Davail, Barbara Jones, Joan Smith and Ralph Bush. We welcomed Yvonne Wightman, Joan Manley and Donald Wenzel at the beginning of our Junior year. In January of our Senior year, Kenneth Dayton, a Junior in the first semester, joined us. Ronald Daniels has piloted our ship for three of our four years, assisted this year by Wayne Ezick as Vice-President; Fred Nelson, Secretary; and Nancy Shaver as Treasurer. To see that we didn't run aground. Miss Shillabeer and Mr. Swanchak were our Class Advisors. Our class motto is Never Leave 'Till Tomorrow What You Can Do Today . Our class flower is the peony. Our class colors are green and white. Our hopes for the future are bright! 13
