Some of our footprints have passed from the first grade in the elementary building through the halls of the high school. As we review the past twelve years we find much that is memorable, little to be regretted and a great deal more which we shall always treasure. May the future of Spencer High School continue UPWARD EVER: DOWNWARD NEVER. 3 School Board ond Administration F X-,I Walter Nleguschar member I W Hutcheson Treasurer Ralph Poulton Secretary Charles L Sharp Superintendent of Schools Oscar Tucker member Phoebe kay School Secretary Homer Whlte Presldent Charles L Sharp Superintendent of Schools X mx Herbert Edwards H R Miller Prmcnpal Grade School Prrnclpal N 'tx Francxs Ahlemeyer john Appleby Annys Brazier Industrial Arts and Scnence Nlath 4 1 V Q , ' av , i - 1 1 f 1 Xb, , L 5 Vs I ii., V- 7 J ' . 3, i 'V N . xx 1 - Y X . , ' . 7 , 1 X, J lp VX, U i i, . 1 N V Lf' X ii -'K Ji l S ,.il S l - i S , i ,X I I ..

' 55557 Q , Senior Class Dloq On October 21, 1955, the Senior Class presented The Brainstorm, a three-act comedy, which is a sequel to The Inner Willy. Many humorous situations gave the cast an opportunity to display their dramatic ability. This play was directed by Miss Galimore. The cast included: Stanley Harris, David Esakson, Pat Spencer, Mary Ruth Hutcheson, Eleanor Brown, Connie Christie, Sheila McCann, Connie Servies, Martha Poff, judy Livingston, Barbara Thomas, joan Brinson, Donald Dayhuff, joe job, Bob White, Byron Buker and Neil Thompson. 21 la mf ss The scene opens and we find Judy Livingston in a crude hospital in Africa where she is doctor- ing the pygmies. fHer real destination was Aus- tralia but the ship was blown off course by severe winds. They were fortunate to make the coast of Tanganyikaj A messenger comes wildly dashing into the hospital with a letter. Uudy has not received communications, from the outside world, in all the years she has been isolated there.j She opens the letter and excitedly reads: We, the Senior Class of 1956, being of sound mind and body do hereby bequeath our last will and testament: To the jolly juniors, we leave our supply of chewing gum and our well-kept lockers.
