Settlor 'ftyiAtontf Four years ago, 19 girls and boys enrolled as Freshmen at York Community High School -- Janice Smith, Marlys Zenk, Doris Feldt, Barbara Carroll, Ronnie Bielema, Nancy Smith, Jerry Shoemaker, Ann Holland, Janice Olsen, Robert Williams, Beverly Senneff, Lowell Starr, Donald Houzenga, Norma Rice, John Letcher, Eleanor Roberts, Jimmy Johnson, Alice Nienkark, and Vernon Appel. Vernon Appel dropped out before the year ended. We were initiated by the Sophomores during our Freshman year; also we sponsored one dance. During our Sophomore year, we lost Donald Houzenga and Nancy Smith. We initiated the Freshmen in the traditional manner and sponsored several other dances. Mrs. Robbins was our advisor for the Junior Class. The first event was our selection of class rings. To finance our Junior and Senior Banquet and Prom, we sold pop and popcorn at our home basketball games. The gym decorations carried out our theme, Red Sails in the Sunset. We published the Yorkster this year. Our play, Grandma’s Best Years, attracted a large crowd. Various activities of our Senior year were sponsoring the Freshman reception, presenting the play, Willie’s Weekend, and working on the Annual under the leadership of Mr. Elliott and Mr. Underwood. Baccalaureate was held on Sunday, May 27, and Commencement was held on May 31, 1956. We are now ready to accept our roles in the various walks of life. Our high school days are over, And life has just begun; We are now saying Good Bye To each and everyone. We wish to thank our teachers. For all the things they’ve done; For giving us good knowledge. And also lots of fun. Farewell, oh fellow classmates. As we go our separate ways; Let us always remember Y. C. H. S. and The Good Old Days. by Beverly Senneff
