Now that we have graduated, we fondly recall our happy, hectic, high school days. The year 1955 found us entering a school filled with new faces. Upper Dub- lin seemed quite large to us as compared with the small elementary schools from which we had come. We were divided in- to four homerooms where we made many friends. As we finally became accustomed to our new school, we began to take an interest in the activities. Our first year was brought to a close with a picnic at Montgomery County Park. Too soon the summer was over, and we were back in school as eighth grade students. How nice it was to see the new seventh grade as confused as we had been. We were glad we knew our way around and were no longer the youngsters of the school. The outstanding event in 1954 was our trip to Harrisburg. We also visited the Hershey factory and especially enjoyed the free samples. However, the most remembered part was Hershey Park with its exciting roller coaster, The Comet. Then came 1955 and we became a real part of the high school as freshmen. It was in that year that we decided what course of study we would pursue. We elected our first class officers and learned that Mrs, Biles and Mr. Taddei would be our advisers. We had a great time preparing for and presenting our play, The Mad Hatters. It was quite hilarious and a huge success. May 31 brought to us our long awaited trip to New York where we visited the United Nations Building, the Statue of Liberty, and many other famous places. This was a pleasant ending for our freshman year. 1956 found us in the Senior High. It was quite a thrill to be able to partici- pate in the varsity sports and we were much more interested in these activities. We sponsored our first dance, Valentine Daze, which was lots of fun, and Tag Day, an annual tradition at UD. To- wards the end of our sophomore year we were all busy ordering our class rings, and wondering where we would ever find the money to pay for them. Our wet picnic at Montgomery County Park brought this busy year to a close. We were greeted upon our return in the fall of 1957 with the arrival of our class rings, spotless and shiny, and we proudly showed them to anyone within sight. We celebrated by sponsoring the annual Ring Dance, During the Christ- mas vacation, we all enjoyed ourselves at
