Student Council elections put Tom Hemingway as President, Gary Porier as Vice President, Barbara Fargo, Secretary, and last but far from least Qshe handles the money lj Sheila Marren as Treasurer on the boards. And then-WE WERE OFF! Our senior class will remember our All-japan Champion football team, our Near Tournament-Champs basketball team Chow we all wept over our only defeat--that second game with Okinawa in the finalsj, our Candy Cane Ball at the Golden Dragon-that Christmas fairyland created by those talented Seniors on the decorations committee, Saturdays on Isezaki cho, trips to Kamakura, and Saturday nights at the Neet Nao Club. Some of our number achieved fame during this memorable year. Pat Replogle starred in Finianlv Rainbow at Yokosukag eight Seniors maintained a 4.0 grade average, Judy Bigelow and Karen Curtis starred in Harlequinade and The Browning Version ,' Helen Danielson broke her leg and collected cast autographs, John Haggard played his trombone in a terrific Shake Rattle and Roll in assembly, two Senior boys FINALLY got their driver's licenses Qyou just can't hardly get them kind no more lj and their popularity soared like the Snark, the Rainbow Girls mourned the loss of the Southern Belle, Mary Alice Burch. This year has had its quota of humorous incidents. There was that time when Bill Mikasa, dissecting a squid in biology, found that peculiar blob that he thought was another organism which had been swallowed, only to be squirted with the squid's ink when he tried to pry it out. There was also Pinky Hart at a basketball game, going up to the basket with a complete uniform, but hitting the floor again not quite complete. On one of the trips there was the Case of the Feather Pillow in which exuberance during a pillow fight burst the pillow. It took only two hours for all the feathers to be picked up! There was the frantic bidding at the Slave Sale by Mr. Mayerson for Gary Porier the finally got him lj and the cartel of seven girls who bought Pete Orth. Tom Hemingway brought the unpre- cedented Hgure of j51O.50. The series of earthquakes brought a variety of reactions. It was rumored some Seniors fell out of their seats on the third floor. A . We had our serious moments, too-our solemn National Honor Society Assembly, and our Awards Assembly. And now, on the eve of graduation, we the Seniors feel both exultant fwe have successfully completed that long lirst lapj and sad Qwe wonder if ever again we will have such carefree timesj. But this, our Senior year, this wonderful, hectic, frustrating, exciting year will always be remembered. Hail the Seniors of 1956!
