N. SCHNEIDER R. SCOTT B. SHANNON of Seventh Graders to d Group of Individuals York High's senior girls were among those feted by local Business and Professional Women on April 29. They were guests at a tea held at the home of Mrs. Elmer Shuttlesworth. On May 8 these same girls and their mothers were honored by the Y-Teen Coun- cil at a May Breakfast. Spring parties came with a rush and the class real- ized the nearness of graduation. Seniors, guests of honor at the Junior-Senior Banquet, were reminded of the tribute they had paid the Class of '55. Class Day with its convocation and breakfast were also anticipated by the seniors. However, thoughts were sad and minds reminiscent as Baccalaureate and Commencement practices brought the end closer. Finnally, on May 22, the high school career of the Class of '56 ended. Proud moms, dads, and friends watched as each student received his diploma, signi- fying the completion of l3 years of his education- an education that is the Key to Our Future.

Seniors Lived on Exciting Two Weeks of Activity, Neptune's Court , the theme of the annual Junior- Senior Banquet, was proclaimed by Seniors as even better than last year l Fish nets, treasure chests, and bubbles added realistically to theme development. This was the beginning ofa whirlwind of activities which was to end the year for Seniors. Not as entertaining and somehow lacking in atmosphere, exams brought forth a final splurge of restless studying. Although they weren't the latest in Dior or Schiapa- relli fashions, graduation robes were nonetheless in great demand as Baccalaureate services neared. The Reverend F. F. Gross ofthe Evangelical United Brethern Church spoke on 'The Great American Game which dealt with the lessons of life that can be learned from baseball, Gay carousels carried Seniors momentarily away from the sobering thoughts of Commencement. Centerpieces of miniature carousels with programs serving as tickets were featured at the Senior Breakfast as farewell speeches were presented by Superintendent D. W. Frazer, Principal Marion E. Engel, and Class sponsors Miss Bess Alexander and Miss Louise Mchlerney. Class Day programs revolved around a Bridey Mur- phey case as class graduate recalled her classmates during their years at York High. Even though her recollections were not completely accurate as she searched for yesterday, they furnished many laughs as Seniors participated in their last all-school convocation. Commencement speaker Chancellor Clifford Hardin of the University of Nebraska ended the school year with his Commencement address. The last and Hnal step was taken as the graduates received their diplomas. Seniors relaxed-but only for a while-then began planning for the coming year.
