'-Q The piano is an instrument with many notes, each with a different tone, but all blending to- gether to create harmony and beauty when prop, erly played. Just so, a good school is composed of individual students, each with different per- sonalities and possibilities, yet all working to- gether to create a harmonious and unified whole.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS C. Tuck, S. C. A. Representativeg E. Lee, Vice- Presidentp W. Kinzie, P re sidentg J. Kessler, Secretary: W. Rocke, Treasurer. SENIORS The last chord of Pomp and Circumstance is heard. The capped and gowned seniors are seated. The 1956 Commencement E x e r c i s e s begin with the usual formalities. The audience along with the seniors clap to recognize the speaker and there is a faint shuffle as some change their positions in order to be more com- fortable while absorbing the sage advice being given. But the s enior s' minds are too filled with highschool memories to remember any but small parts of the advice. , Perhaps a quiet smile appears on a senior face as the memories of their first day in high school are br oug ht to mind. One remembers hownervous and sillythey were as they gathered in small insignificant, giggling groups, hoping to impress some upper classmen. Being quite green to high sc hool life the class did not enter into many activities. The year was high- lighted bythe picnic of hot dogs and baked beans. As Freshmen rats the class got into the swing byjoining clubs and participating in sports. JOSEPH MCLEOD ARRINGTON, JR. Sports Club '56 Rod 8: Gun Club '56 F. F. A.

Money for the class treasury was raised by selling magazines. The next yea r proved to be the half way mark in high school. As Sophomores we again took part in the magazine sale in order to raise money. An assembly based on the idea of a quiz show was presented. The school year was again ended by a class picnic. Juniors! How proud it made you feel to be titled as such. This year brought new activities. The entire class contributed in one way or an- other to the production of the Junior Play, Down to Earth. A social was also given by the class in honor of the seniors. The climactic year was finally reached as the twenty-eight remaining seniors returned to complete their high school calendar. All were int e r e st e d in raising money for their trip to Washington, D. C., and worked industriously in bake sales, magazine sales and other money- making schemes. Members of the class again produced a play given to the public. The seniors are brought back to reality by a clapping ovation recognizing the speaker. The solemn faced graduates realize this is the end of their school days at Troutville High. Some will march out the door and enterthose of higher learning. Some will leave their desks for iron- ing boards,and some will forsake the basketball courts to join the armed services. But all will commence their life in their community, nation, and world. 14
