Class History AS we, the Seniors of 1956, look back over our three most memorable years of school, we think of the many happy events that occurred. Our Sophomore Class with advisors, Mrs. Shields and Miss Lundberg, held our first class meeting, Sept. 16, 1953. Officers were elected for the term of 53-54. They were President, Don Eckles; Vice President, Dave Hall; Secretary, Lynn Rishel; Treasurer, Emily List. The class was very successful in the selling of sweat shirts, chocolate candy, and basketball pencils. The big event of the year was the Valentine Dance held in February with Martha Jo Hill reigning as queen. Near the close of the year we ordered our class rings which we were to receive in August or September. As we proceeded into our Junior year, under the able guidance of Mrs. Hartford, Miss Robinson, and Mr. Ven- turella, we elected the following officers for the term of 54-55: President, Dave Hall; Vice President, Don Eckles; Secretary, Jean Goodge; Treasurer, Emily List. We engaged in the annual magazine campaign which proved very profitable. A successful Harvest Moon Dance on November 5, 1954, highlighted the social activities of the year. At a delightful intermission, Dave Hall crowned the King and Queen who were Ronnie Plano and Jean Goodge. Ending our Junior year perfectly, we sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom held on May 6. With graduation as our next step, we moved into our Senior year. This year was filled with many activities. The first class meeting was held on Sept. 15, at which Jim Nolder was elected President; John Leonhardt, Vice President; Jean Goodge, Secretary; and Janet Hammers, Treasurer. On December 23 we held the Jingle Bell Ball which proved very enjoyable. In order to raise funds for our class trip to Washington, we sold magazine subscriptions again. The Juniors provided a very beautiful prom at which the king and queen were crowned in royal splendor. Last, but certainly not least, came graduation day, with each Senior robed in white coming forward to receive his or her diploma. By Jean Goodge
