Senior Class History Of the Class of 1956, five girls entered preschool at Sunset Hill for those important first years of learning to get along with other children. The five little darlings were Nancy Barrett, Karen Bunting, Ann Hovey, Donna Loeb, and Nancy Nichols, all of whom were graduated expertly versed in the arts of hair-pulling and sash-tearing, all having experienced that memorable supreme pleasure of uttering the first naughty word. Ann and the two Nancys soon chose to cast their lots elsewhere, but Karen and Donna remained steadfastly loyal. The primary grades were conquered and the teachers maimed by the small revolutionary band, the membership of which grew to include Vicki Zuber, Sandra Yukon, Laura Hockaday, Mary Wallis, and Suzanne Wheeler. An event of importance was the return of Nancy Nichols, who undoubtedly found it increasingly difficult to play hooky for four years. The dancing school years were soon upon us, and we participated whole- heartedly in patent leather pumps, braids, and braces. Upon our entrance into eighth grade, we were faced with several new problems, namely, Miss Hovey, Miss Mann, Miss Olson, Miss Park, Miss Powell, and Miss Wagstaff. This year proved to be one of trials and tribulations. We were greatly enraged at not being allowed to attend A. A. dances or to play hockey against our elders by whom we were very much scorned. Late in the spring an epidemic of measles swept the class, leaving in the classroom only a very few less-fortunates who continued desperately to search for red splotches. Freshman year dawned with the addition of Laura Lee Carkener and Marjorie Shackelford. Determined to let our elders know who's who, we set out with the intention of carrying off scholastic awards of various and sundry types, and basketball and hockey cups. It is extraordinary how the best laid schemes o' mice and men can go astray, for we had the sole honor of winning no honors and a continuous, unvarying column of defeats. Another autumn came and brought with it the Sophomore Slump, a rather infectious disorder, the victim of which is inflicted by a disastrous case of giggles and her every movement seems to have been inspired by St. Vitus. This was a year of plotting and intrigue. With consuming curi- osity and shifting eyes, we sought a chance to venture forth upon the hallowed senior stairs. Academicwise we learned defense tactics number one and two, the bluff and the stall. ln a word, we became Artful Dodgersf, During the latter part of the year, Nancy Barrett returned from a rather long vacation to join us in our devsiltry. At the beginning of junior year, honor study hall was almost completely evacuated, for if the truth must be told, there was a recurrence of the indisposition previously mentioned. The time we did not spend wishing we were seniors we spent in the dining room developing atrocious appetites. Ann Hoffman joined us during the last half of the year, thus completing the Class of 1956. Finally the long-awaited moment arrived. Seniors we became and did not feel radically altered. The senior room was remodeled in a lovely black and fuchsia scheme by eighteen aesthetes, and goodies were placed therein. Thus the scene was set for a year of gracious living. But about the time that the iceman cometh, cameth also tidings that we would have to worketh if we expected to go to college. In desperation we vowed to atone for the indolence of previous years. We wrote furiously on term papers, and to nullify evidence of active senior room participation, solemnly fol- lowed a diet featuring rye crisp and Tiger Milk. By some strange contrivance we managed to struggle through College Boards and get into college. Thus with graduation, we, the Class of 1956, terminate our career at Sunset 1-lill. We thank Mrs. Green and the faculty for their patience in pulling us through. Best of luck to the Class of 1957. 24
