Signed and sealed this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-six. CLASS HISTORY On September 2, 1952, twenty-four freshmen entered Wilbur High School. We were made full-fledged freshmen when the sophomores gave us a very interest- ing initiation. We got off into the swing of high school by entering into the various activities. Our Freshman Class advisor was Mr. Morgan. In the fall of 1953, as Sophomores, we walked down the halls twenty strong. The big event of that year was the intiation of the freshmen which was followed by an all-hi party. We also ordered our class rings. Mr. Siegel was our Sophomore Class advisor. In the fall of 1954 we entered Wilbur High School as Juniors. Led by Mr. Thomson we planned and presented our Junior Prom. We chose the theme of South Pacific which we worked up with very attractive decorations. We received our class rings that year. We the class of 56 began our final year advised by Mr. Pease. The first big event was our Senior Ball, Moments to Remember. Following the Senior Ball our cash reserve was depleted through an accident. But this gave us added in- centive to work harder on our Senior Play. We presented our play, Ghost Wanted, on April 13. It turned out to be a great success and much thanks is due to Mrs. Miller our director. The senior girls and senior mothers were guests at a tea given in their honor by the Civic Club. This took place on April 6. Career Day came next followed by a very much looked forward to sneak. Our sneak took place on Thursday, May 10. We traveled to Walla Walla and all spent a most enjoyable and memorable day. Our trip went well except for a small accident between Lind and Connell. On May 24, the seniors were presented with a Senior Banquet given in their honor by their parents. Baccalaureate Exercises were given on May 27, in the big gym, and on June 1, eighteen sorrowful yet happy seniors received their diplomas, signifying that they are ready to lead rather than follow, thus carrying out our class motto. Our class c'olors are burgundy and white, and our flower is the white rose bud. 9

P H fcontinuedj Loretta has just arrived from Paris where she has been working in anight club as a serenader. She is soon to start work at the famous Govan Night Club known as The Pass Out. Another member of the class who is present today is Pat Krause. Pat has just invented a silencer for back seat drivers. It seems as if she got tired of people telling her how not to drive. Oh! The phone is ringing. It is for- Gary Ladwig who is sheriff of both Lincoln and Spokane County. He just got a call about a holdup, so Gary is off in a cloud of dust. And it is about time for all of us to leave. We have had a lot of fun meeting our classmates today. Perhaps in twenty more years we will be back again and use our crutches to point out our classmates. Until then ..... a fond' farewell. WILL Part I We, the seniors of 1956 being of unsound mind, weak from all school work, foolish, dullivated, and the best looking class ever to graduate from W. H. S. do hereby bequeath to our friends and enemies, the following: Part II To our advisor, Mr. Pease, we leave a classroom which will be considerably quieter now that we are leaving. To the juniors, our rightful heirs, we bequeath our gracious acts, dignified manners and ability to go in debt. We also leave them all the rights and privi- leges that go with being seniors. To the sophomores who think they know everything, but don't we will our high intelligence. To the Student Body, we leave with the high hopes that each one of you will have as much fun as the seniors of '56' did! Part III I, LORRETTA ALEXANDER, will my hair to Mr. Siegel, Mr. Pease, and Mr. Parkins, for they need it worse than I do. To Joel Krause, I, JANE ANDERSEN, will my well trained hair-do in case he gets another Mohawk! I, DANNY ERICKSON, leave Carol Ann to walk the halls of W.H. S. alone next year. I, MARVIN RIECHMANN, will to Ronnie Custer the name of Casanova. I, PAT KRAUSE, will my cheerleading uniform to Stanley Schoolcraft. I, WARDINE DRAPER, leave one well used pamphlet on How to Get a Man to the next gal who needs it. I, GARY LADWIG, leave to Merle Pfaffle, one pair of well used rubber gears. Since I don't believe in leaving much, I, DARLENE HUME, will my ability to drive to Louise Schiebner. To Gus Wall, I, RICHARD DREGER, will my home -permanent kit. I, COLLEEN MCMILLAN, will my make-up kit to next years play cast. I, JOHN WATSON, will my box of rye-crisp to the junior girls in hopes they never look like the senior girls.
