PART A TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL In Memoriam MELVIN CUNNINGHAM Age shall not weary him nor the years condemn. --Laurence Binyon We shall always cherish our memory of Melvin and his example of ambition, courage, and devotion to his school responsibilities in face of certain defeat. We are indeed grateful for the inspiration of his pre- sence during his three years in high school. ROGER RUNGE Here rests his head upon the lap of earth, A youth to fortune and fame unknown. —Thomas Gray Although Roger did not live to become well-known in school, he did make a deep and lasting impression upon his classmates. The mention of his name will long recall the memory of his cheery hello and friendly smile. n Left to right: Mr. A1 Michael Young, Mr. Dwight Fulton, Mr. Willard Stevenson, Mr. John R.

Board °f Education Our Principal To the Class of 1955: As you graduate from school to the larger experiencesof life our bestwishesfor your future success and happiness go with you. May we see in all you do the exemplification of those great ideals that have always inspired men to go forth to lead for their fellow- men, their country, and their God. May the attainment of a worthy character be your goal and your knowledge, service, and leadership become a constructive force for good in your community. This is the final goal of all education.

Seniors VERNON FALKENHAIN...................Vice President PAT BURNS................................Treasurer BARBARA BOCKHORN.........................Secretary LARRY WILSON.............................President Senior Highlights In 1951, we, as very green Freshmen entered Sparta Township High School. We have traveled a very learning road since then to become the graduating class of 1955. This class of '55 has accomplished a great many things during it's stay at S.T. H.S. As it leaves—it leaves its impression. We first made our debut as a working unit during the Queen Campaign of 1951. During our Sophomore year we helped pioneer the newly-organized Student Council. Our third year was spent conquering the financial problems left us by a fundless Queen Campaign. We, therefore, list as one of our great accomplishments the Junior-Senior Old New Orleans Prom and Banquet of 1954. This year, as Seniors, we sponsored the first all-school play, Brother Goose, and bring our stay at S.T. H. S. to a close with the publishing of our Bulldog Yearbook. The members of our class have taken advantage of the academic and extra-curricular opportunities offered here at S.T.H.S.; they have done their class honor by excelling in many fields. We hope future classes will do the same and will enjoy their best years school days as much as we have. JAMES LAWRENCE BAUE Band 1,2; Paper Staff 3.
