W swf? 1 my 33 Class Histor The lights are low: shadows creep nearer: the crystal begins to glow-f slowly the fortune teller's face fades from view with the increasing radiance of the ball. Time passes: suddenly the cry stal begins to clear and slowly an image appears-a group of timid students in the halls of Swoyeryille High School, the future Class of 1956. ln September. 1952. we were embarking upon a high school career, shy, but determined to do our best to acliieye a common goal-GRADUATION. Very often we walked up or down the wrong steps and caused a lot of confusion, or forgot the room number and wandered through the halls timidly until we found our room. This year found us wise, proud and eager to learn. Anxious and ath- letically-minded boys were given the opportunity to try out for basketball and football. Our subjects were more difficult. Slowly this scene fades from view and is replaced by another. Here the Class of 1956 is seen making new friends. and, others are sep- arated, some having classes at the Cahalan Building and others at the high school. ln our Sophomore year, the boys won their berths on the athletic teams and the girls were trying out for positions on the cheerleading and majorette squads. Others join the school band and orchestra. Our field trip to Ricketts Glen was a happy and memorable experience. chaperoned by Mr. Michael Beky. lVlr. John Wallace and lVlr. ,loseph Gulla. As the latter scene disappears. another is visualized-This time as Juniors, their goal is getting nearer. A group of students is seen, in a classroom- everyone is still, tense- then a hand is seen slowly rising, followed by its owner, who says, HI nominate Joseph lVlargallisfl And the election of officers takes place. The final results of the election: Joseph Margallis, ljresidentg John Hudick, Vice Presidentg Valeria Skrabut, Secretaryg and Jeanne Kara- lunas, Treasurer. The girls are allowed to join the Y-Tcensg the boys are admitted to the ranks of the varsity teamsg and we are the honored guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Near the close of this year comes an event which we looked forward to as much as graduation-the choosing of class rings which we would wear as a symbol of promotion to the last and final year. This scene is slowly replaced by another-entering Swoyerville High School as highly-heralded seniors, and standing upon the threshold of our final high school year, we seem somewhat sad and apprehensive of what the future holds. But soon, fears are lost in a whirl of activities, work and happi- ness. Clearly showing at the beginning of the year is football, our leading sport. To us, our fine team may be called the uncrowned champions of Wyoniing Valley. 7 if W... X
