Pays the best Interest- CLASS HISTORY In 1955 we entered our freshman year of high school, anxious to begin participa- tion in the school activities. We chose our class colors, navy blue and light blue, and designed our triangular-shaped emblem. During our sophomore year we sponsored two class dances and received our class hats. Class rings were received in our junior year and were proudly displayed. Soon we began planning our Junior Prom, Shangri-La, held on January 25, 1958. The gym was decorated in an oriental theme, and we danced to the music of the Band-Its. In the spring the class presented our Junior Play, Turn Back the Clock. On January 31 and February 7 of our senior year, we gave our last and most suc- cessful play performance, Bull in a China Shop. We held our prom, Nautical En- chantment, using an under water theme, on May 16. Eddie Holmes and his orchestra provided the music for our last high school formal dance. The class of 1959 held Baccalaureate services on May 31, at Saint Paul's Lutheran Church in Red Hill. Mr. Richard Thomas delivered his address, Into This World, an inspiring and thought-provoking message. Our last year has flown by so quickly, leaving us with many pleasant memories of high school fun and friendships. Eighteen
