Class Officers: Suanne Bergen, Sec., Mike Halleen, Vice Pres., Jane Friedland, Treas., Roger Gilles, Pres. Seniors of '56 Highlighting our progress, we, the Seniors of 1956, reminisce about our high school days of fun and study. Awed by the Seniors of l953, we were greatly inspired, realizing the tasks before us as freshmen. The friendliness of Park High radiated in the election of our junior high friendship king and queen, Ralph Kays and Jill Nelson. Being one of the crowd resulted with the invitation to The Tropical. A lei of baby orchids distinguished Mimsi Bostrom as our freshman orchid queen. As we crossed the threshhold into our senior high days, the limitless opportunities electrified us. Taking the minutes, Bud Burnham served as Student Council secretary. Other leaders were Mark Jansen, president, Jack Scott, vice president, Sally Brunzell, secretary, and Tom Tyler, treasurer. An aid to Park's spirit was Judy Garber, our sophomore cheerleader. The privilege of attending senior high dances thrilled us as we enjoyed Homecoming and the Anniversary Ball. As a class, we carried on the tradition of the annual Soph Ball. We accepted responsibilities and the challenge of meeting new friends, when we joined the clubs open for our participation. Crowded conditions and the lack of space led to the split shift schedule in our junior year. Our power ranged around Jack Scott, Bill Haight, Jane Friedlund and Roger Gilles, who served as presie dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer respectively. Serving as Student Council vice president was John Duck. Although we failed to make Edina the mourning-sidef' our homecoming was a big success, climaxed by the dance Royal Magic, which we sponsored. The distinguishing feature of our class was the ring Skystreak. Everyone anxiously awaited the arrival of his selection. A sample of our dramatic ability was demonstrated by Marlene Knutson as she played the leading role in Time Out for Ginger. Whizzing around with excited anticipation, preparing themselves for a summer abroad, were Park's A.F.S. students Jill Nelson Linda Haenny, Mike Halleen, Jack Scott, and Bud Burnham. Bud was awarded one of the two scholarships given by the Minneapolis Star in the state of Minnesota. Among other honors bestowed on the junior class, were the elections of Carol Obenauf and Roger Gilles, as representatives to Girlsfand Boys' State respectively. Acquainting himself with the works of the United Nations, John Duck spent several fun-filled days travelling with the U. N. pilgrimage. Tony Grise furnished us with dream music as we whirled about at our Junior-Senior Prom, ending our eventful eleventh year. Our long-awaited tribute had finally come, for we were now supersonic seniors, soaring skyward. Captains Roger Gilles, Mike Halleen, Sue Bergan and Jane Friedlund piloted us, the crew, toward greater advancement, Manning the instrument panel was our Student Council President Jack Scott, with Linda Levitt treasurer. Our star in the galaxy cf royalty was Homecoming Queen Peggy Stoen. Gracing the throne were Marianne Bostrom, Pat Dona, Judy Garber and Ramona Syverson, her majesty's attendants. The blast of the herald's trumpet and the excited hush of the crowd announced the arrival of the royal party at the coronation. This is Park's War-Year was the shout from all loyal fans as we watched our team tie Hopkins. Our last homecoming was brought to an end as Jerry Dibble's music furnished a romantic mood at the dance, Autumn Leaves. From our dynamo, Park's athletic teams charged for- ward, determined to win. As spectators, cur enthusiasm was sparked by our senior cheerleader, Gail Anderson. With jet propulsion, Park's girls surged ahead. Their mission . . . to catch a man for Sadie Hawkins Day! Daisy Mae CRamona Syversonl caught her Li'l Abner fTom Tylerl. The interest of the audience was at a high velocity during the presentation of the fall play, Beggar on Horseback. This atmosphere changed to a more serious level as the religious fantasy Noah was presented. A dazzling burst of light enthralled us as we entered to dance at the Christmas and Anniversary Balls. The swish of formals intermingled with the delicate fragrance of flowers, the grand finale, our Junior-Senior Prom, claimaxed senior high dances. With the reading of our class history, we realized how far we had travelled and how much we had accomplished. Still gaining altitude, the ceremony of Baccalaureate came into view. We were moved by the solemnity of this memorable service. Climbing higher, we reached our final des- tination-Commencement. The goal for which we had strived was now in our possession. The progress of the past and the unlimited opportunities of the future flashed before us as we soared into space.
