6144.4 oem Here come the seniors in review, What they've done and what they'll do. From the towns and from the sticks, We're the class of '56. Barbara is so short and witty, For her to leave the school's a pity. Beautician is her goal in life, But maybe she'll iust be a wife. Dick Foster is the cutest guy, But he is very often sly. Epecially when he's in the hall f?l Or running with a basketballl Donna Givan was the queen, Who reigned for our homecoming scene. She sings and plays in finest style, And always wears a pleasant smile. And then there's Wayne, who's not so quiet With him around there 's sure a riot. But in a corner in the hall, You scarce can hear his words at all. Ben Kelly is a star athlete, Quite rough on the foe and light on his feet He is quite nice and so polite, l'le'd never, never pick a fight. Ardith has the prettiest hair--- For grooming she has quite a flair. We sure will miss her Boys now please! For when she 's gone, who will they tease? Kenny has the nicest smile, ln football he could run a mile. But with the dames he has his troubles, For all his dreams go up in bubbles. Bonnie Pettit's a iolly gal, And with the boys she's quite a pal. Her secret love is driving cars, Oh, Bonnie, please don't drive to Marsl Her brother Bobby's so polite, He really is a welcome sight. The nicest farmer he will be, And there he'll raise his family. I2

enioz glad! lfistozy On the bright and sunny morning of September 5, 1944, seven members of the 1956 graduating class found their way to the first grade room where Mrs. Draper eagerly met her new pupils. They were: Donna Givan, Sandra Taylor, Bonnie Pettit, Edith Thompson, Richard Foster, Robert Pettit, and Keith Roice. One of these members, Richard Foster, moved to Homerville before the beginning of the second grade when Mrs. Hadley was our teacher. Richard returned to Sullivan and Ben Kelly from LaGrange ioined our ranks in the third grade when we were under the guidance of Mrs. Zacharias. ln the fourth grade our class was split with half of us in Miss Miller's room and the other half in Miss Long's room. Our number was increased by two more, Wesley Reese and Wayne Hoffman, both from Cleveland. ' ln the fifth grade our class was still split. We were under the direction of Miss Miller and Mrs. Zacharias. ln this grade, Janice Pfeiffer came to ioin our class from Tampa, Florida. We were all together as we entered our last year of grade school with Mrs. Baker trying hard to teach us some- thing. - We reached the next plateau when we started our first year of junior high where we changed classes every period and had a different teacher for every subject. Mr. Kilchenman was our advisor that year. We were under the direction of Mr. Prokop in the eighth grade. Kenneth Nichols ioined our class from Northwestern. We thought we were pretty grown-up as we entered our first year of high school. Our class was increased by six this year. Five of these came from Huntington: Ardith Leininger, Barbara Bakos, Ronald Sprinkle, Alan Wacker, and Bradley Smith. The other was Louis Sandoval from Oberlin. Miss Swisher was our advisor during the ninth grade. ln our sophomore year, Mr. MacKellar was our advisor. He was our advisor again in our iunior year. For our first adventure into the mysteries of dramatics, we presented Seventeen ls Terrific . ln May of our iunior year we transformed the gym into a beautiful starlight scene for the annual Jr.-Sr. Prom. We finally attained our goal as we walked into the halls of Sullivan High School for cur last year of formal education. We were seniors l l l We named our annual Stairway to Success p we took our senior trip to Washington D.C. and New York City, and were guests at the Jr.-Sr. Prom, and pre- sented as our senior play Finders Creepers , under the direction of Mr. Larabee. On the evening of May 23, 1956, eighteen seniors received their diplomas at the 64th Annual Sullivan High School Commencement in the high school auditorium. Dr. Roger Shaw of Kent State University gave the Commencement address. 5 11

Janice Pfeiffer is our brain For her the honor roll's no strain. She's also easy on the eyes, For some nice guy she'll be a prize. Of all the guys who like cars best, Wesley Reese outshines the rest. And, oh, the iokes he loves to tell, But never seems to hear the bell! In our class the tallest one, Towers to a six foot one. Of the girls he'd like his choice, We're speaking now of our Keith Roice. Louie Sandoval's a lot of fun, Just mention eats and watch him run. ln chewing gum he takes the prize, For fourteen sticks are lust his sizel There 's a flaming red-head in our crowd And when he's with the boys he's loud! Of all the guys who like their fun, Bradley Smith sure is the one! And Ronnie Sprink-le has his dreams, To be a millionaire it seems. Ranch-type homes, yachts, and cars-- My boy, you're reaching for the stars. Sandy Taylor is the quietesttlass, Of all the girls who're in our class. She likes to drive and likes one guy, Perhaps she'll get him by and by. Edith Thompson is our blonde, Of giggling she is very fond. Now what on earth will Edy'do, When all her high school days are through? Alan Wacker loves to talk, Even when he 's throwing chalk. l'le's the wittiest guy we know, The school will really miss him.sol fa!! Wiff and Teatament We, the senior class of Sullivan High School, on this l3th day of February in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-six, make our last will and testament, and do hereby make all other wills and testaments void. To the teachers, we leave patience which they will need if another class ever comes along like ours To the iunior class, we leave the senior cloak room iyou always used it anyhowb To the sophomore class, we leave the parking places in front of the school when you get cars of your OWN.
