jiorcwarh antasy has been chosen as the theme of our yearbook. The origin of this word fantasy is unknown. It has been present in the English language for centuries and in the minds of men almost since time began. The first man who allowed his mind to enter the world of dreams brought fantasy into use. Today, our homes and our libraries possess innumerable books that contain stories of fantasy that we have inherited from the ages. Many people of our time are con- tributing even more to fantasy. Walt Disney, as a prime example, has awakened the spirit of fantasy in the hearts of young and old alike. Fantasy is a word that calls to mind all the beauty created by the imagination - castles in the sky, knights in shining armor, wonderlands . . . Ours is an age of stark reality, our thoughts concern scientific achievements, the defense of nations against aggression, the building of factories and skyscrapers, crime. However, there are certain groups of people who have no thoughts of these problems. We are such a group, we, the Class of 1956, who are rapidly approaching graduation from high school. We are concerned with all the happiness and joys that life is waiting to offer us, just as the happiness and joy that reigns in the castles in the sky. Our minds are 'filled with exalted ambitions of adventure, prosperity, success. We will soon be entering the world and we seek to conquer it, as knights in armor in quest of life's challenges. The world is our wonderland, teeming with mystery, marvels and mirth. We consider not the burdens of the world but lightheartedness, and Alice-in-Wonderland curiosity and gaiety. Years after our graduation ceremonies have been completed, we will retain in out hearts the memories of our high school days as a wonderful dreamg we will re- member these days among the happiest of our lives. The laughter and the fun, parties and dances, the excitement and thrills of the athletic events, and the friendships that we have enjoyed will create this dream. We will reap from these memories the same pleasant feeling that we obtained from our experiences with fantasy. 2
