MONMOUTH HIGH By Shirley Bleeke

HI w, x 7* OSSIIIO

The column! this week isl dedicated to the] Senior class of] 1956 at Mon-1 mouth high] school. The delicate] strains of a if? organ and the. gentle flickering

of shimmering < candles brought a sudden hush into the auditorium at M. H. S. last Sunday evening. Forty ■ seniors attired in either blue or white caps and gowns marched slowly into the gymnasium and onto the stage where they occupied seats of honor. An inspiring message concerning the choice between right and wrong was given by the Rev. Henry C. Abram, and the beautiful words and music of the Lord’s Prayer,” sung by Darrell Gerig, filled the hearts of everyone present. Yes, the baccalaureate service of the class of 1956 wns truly a fitting religious climax to a high school career. — M. H. S. — And tonight is the night! Graduationj Freshmen dream of this night—sophomores wistfully watch and wait—juniors know that for them it is just a year away—seniors laugh and cry and recall scores of memories on this evening. — M. H. S. — There are memories of a warm day in late August. Why we were just little “green” freshmen then! And how- many of us will ever forget the “helter skelter’’ day in October when we were initiated by a merciless senior class, or the walk, walk, walk, of our biology trip to Chicago? And do you remember the day w’hen our class sweaters and jackets arrived? Just about a year later we each became the proud owner of a shiny new class ring. And. oh, those "Craxy Castles" and “Sweethearts of V Baka Pi.” After these two class plays we almost felt like professionals! And then we suddenly found ourselves caught up in a mad whirl. Dur name-cards and invitations arrived, the yearbooks were delivered, and fqr four hectic days we toured the national capital. Yes. many of these happy'" incidents will probably be in the thoughts of 40 seniors as they receive their diplomas and bid a fond farewell to the halls and the teachers of their Alma Mater —• dear old Monmouth High. — M. H. S. — A very real system of mass production was brought into use at M.H.S. in preparation for the commencement exercises. Several girls
