Janet Barrett was chosen president; David Friberg, vice-president; Barbara McKnight, secretary; and Renee Gray, treasurer.

The witch riding her broomstick across the moonlight stage failed to scare any of the happy dancers away. “The Marriage Proposal” was the soph- omore entry in the class play contest held in March. With such fine actors and ac- tresses, we turned out to be the winners of the Contest. In April we received our long-awaited class rings and proudly showed them to everybody.

We all plan to make our last two years as pleasant and as interesting as the first two happy years. The class election of Nov. 23 proved that we were determined to have a successful year. Our class officers were president, Fred Hugo; vice president, Gordon Rid- dell; treasurer, Claire Lawliss; and secre- tary, Joanne Wilson. On May 11, 1956, we had our Junior prom.

A sugar house, a wishing well, a half moon with a blinking nose, and a beautiful CamePs Hump Mountain scene were also very attractive. Much credit goes to Miss Grace Bixby and Mr. David Seeley, our class advisers, who helped make our prom a tremendous success. Memories are made of this. we are steadily climbing toward “A penny in a well.
