From the 1956 Anchors… September ’55—and at last we were seniors. John Malthouse was chosen to guide us in our final year, and our own Vince McKenna brought honor to us by becoming the state champion harrier. Coming before all else, even Senior essays, was our Senior Prom, “Fantasy in Ice,” a frozen wonderland with an ice castle as the main attraction and Alba Corrado reigning as fair regent of the night. We held our last sport dance in February, with leap year helping for a theme. Then, too soon to believe, the Senior banquet and commencement were upon us with 143 maroon-clad figures receiving diplomas. This meant the end of our high school days. In spite of the sadness we feel at leaving our friends and the security of our alma mater, our hearts are filled with the pride of our accomplishment as well as the promising expectations of the future.
