At our second class meeting, directed by Mr. Paul E. Stum, Dean, we selected our officers for the year, four of them new ones. Theodore Wells stepped into the Presi- dency, Arthur Shipe was chosen Vice-President, and Nancy Schell and Nancy Bair were re-elected Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Other new officers named were Nan Landis, Assistant Secretary, and Leslie Powell, historian. Our initial class project of the year was the sale of Christmas cards and writing paper to aid in paying for the yearbook. In mid-October, the class members journeyed individu- ally to Hunter's Studios to pose for their Senior pictures. The finished products were received by most of us in early December, and we were greatly pleased by Mr. Hunter's fine work. Our first Senior Party, a dress-up affair, was held in the gym, November 4, with music by the ever-present juke- box. The occasion was made more lasting in our hearts by an unforgettable reading and pantomine skit by sev- eral members of our class, using as its theme the beauti- ful song, Moments To Remember. This was a party long to be remembered by everyone who attended. Early in November the officers carefully selected sample announcements from each of four companies rep- resented. The class members then chose Josten's as their official graduation announcement. Next came our Senior Play, November 17 and 18. An hilarious comedy, entitled Brother Goose and directed by West Shore's newest faculty member, Mr. Lawrence Waite, was produced with the usual skill of all who par- ticipated. We would like to express our hearty and sin- cere thanks to Mr. Waite for his patience and determina- tion in carrying out so well the tough assignment he was given. Before taking our mid-year break from school to cele- brate the holiday season, we stopped to enjoy a Christmas Play in assembly, December 21. A delightful and unusual story called Uncle Jimmy Verses Christmas was pre- sented to the student body by a fine cast of Seniors, under the able direction of Mr. Alvin S. Williamson. As the year of 1956 got under way, we returned to the familiar halls of West Shore High knowing that our time in school was growing short. The evening of January 21, 1956, marked the Senior Ball. This time, our big event of the year took place at the spacious Holiday Motel. Couples marvelled at its in- viting atmosphere, complete with spotlight and revolving stage, as they glided across the fioor to the music of Frank Taylor's orchestra. We were sorry to see another memorable night come to an end. Then came our second Senior Party, March 16, in the old faithful gym. In scruff dress, the class members spent a customarily great time together. Closing our succession of big mements at West Shore, we returned to the scene of last year's highlight, Hershey Hotel, and another Junior-Senior Prom. May 12 was the date and Frank Taylor again provided the music. Thanks to the Junior Class whose members must have felt the same thrill which we did the year before, as sponsors of this memorable event. At this point, we would like to say thanks to our class dean, counselor, and teacher, Mr. Stum, whose quiet wisdom has guided us through a trying Senior year, to Mr. Bushey, who willingly accepted the task of supervis- ing our yearbook and did an excellent jobg to the West Shore Joint School Board, to the administration, to each member of the faculty. Now we stand before you, our teachers, our parents and friends, on Class Day. We are anxiously awaiting a Senior Trip to New York City, before arriving at the summit of our high school ambition, graduation. The goal becomes reality after twelve years in two climactic services, Baccalaureate and Commencement. Then our participation as students of West Shore High School will be history. But we look upon our past with a feeling of regret. We have begun to realize, as we prepare to leave this training ground and take our places in the world, that the years we have spent here will indelibly remain as the happiest of our memories. In the years to come may we always hold high, as our guide to true personal satisfaction and happiness, the words of our class motto: The elevator to success isn't running, take the stairsf' Leslie Powell
