This was accomplished through such fund raising activities as paper drives' and dances, a class play, foodsale, tal- ent show, and a skating party. The class has been active in many outside activities, including sports, cheerleading, music, and dramatics. The band, cheerleaders, and majorettes have participated in several outside contests, and the class has been rep- resented at Boys' and Girls' State and Student Government Day. With the plans of future activity already formulated by many members of the class, it may be confidently expected that in the years ahead the group will distinguish itself in various Walks of life.

Next year's future depends largely on this small group ot hustlers who spent this year continuing the record begun when they entered as freshmen. Hard working students got their names on the Honor Roll. Boys and girls in- terested in sports turned out taithtully and were rewarded with positions on the tirst strings. A large number ot the class iound their interest in drama- tics spurred on by the junior play. Plenty ot school spirit characterized the '57ers, who led in support ot the cheerleaders and the Pep Club. Curtain Going Up was a striking success both dramatically and tinan- cially, netting the class approximately one hundred dollars. The traditional cake auction added another eighty dollars, and the treasury was further swelled by the proceeds from a spring paper drive. The juniors pioneered in the sponsoring ot a tall street dance, a big suc- cess irom the standpoint ot enthusiastic participation. The Senior Reception proved the high point ot the year. The dance was proot oi the ingenuity and artistry ot the juniors who outdid themselves in honor oi their departing friends. 1 -'sg sg 535 First row: E. Daniels, E. Shumway, W. Allen, E. Peterson, D.

Every year the members of this class with some fear and trepidation, but with greater hope and anticipation begin this new stage of learning and grow- ing up. The Class of '58, one hundred. and seven strong, made a good start by placing a number of its group on honor roll. Many of the boys turned out for football and made the first string. Basketball, baseball, an.d track found an equally large number participating. The girls too found plac- es on the basketball and softball teams. A keen interest in dramatics was displayed by both sexes, predicting a successful future for Al-l.S. plays. Among the several activities of the class were the l-larvest Festival held on November l8th and the joint sponsoring of the Sadie Hawkins dance on February l8th. The former was the first dance of the year and one of the most successful, netting the class a small profit to be applied to the financing of the yearbook in the senior year. ln. the course of the year the lrosli picked up twelve new members, SWQIIIDQ IIS IQICII IQ QI1.-Cf Iquyidrgd and nineteen and making it the largest Class in A.lil.S.

OUTIN G CLUB Ii you don't like to ski, skate, swim, hike, or camp out, you should stay out of the way of the Outing Club. They started the year with a weekend trip to Lake Sunapee. The Winter's activities includ'ed a three day ski trip to Stowe, Vermont, several outings to nearby ski areas, and several skating pair- ties. To close a successful year of outdoor antics the Outing Club went on a camping trip in New York State, which included a visit to Wlest Point Academy. First row: D. Perry, vice pres., P.

He was handicapped all year with an undermanned sguad. lnjurifes to key players throughout the season were climaxed in the final game as only fifteen members were on hand. The team started slowly, due largely to in- experience, came along fast, and closed out the season with three Well played games. The bulk of the work fell on the freshmen until the final three games when the addition of three seniors, Morgan Horr, lim Bias, and toe Matysiewicz helped spark the team to fin- ish out strongly, Coaches McDonough and lohnston can look forward to a successful year next fall as ten seasoned veterans are returning.

For the finals against South Hadley, Coach McDonough started three underclass- men.

Lashway, captain Amherst High Hurricanes found support and praise from their seven Varsity and five Iunior Varsity cheerleaders throughout their football and not too successful basketball season. During the basketball season the boys played hard and lost many close and exciting games to some of the better schools in the Hampshire League. Both cheering squads followed the games closely and attended all games in- cluding those away. After the close of the Hampshire League Tournament, the Varsity cheerleaders were honored by being invit- ed again to the Annual Deerfield Cheering Tournament at the Veterans Memorial Gymnasium in South Deerfield. Although our cheerleaders were up against keen competition such as Greenfield, Turners Falls, and Arms Academy, they returned home with a beautiful third prize trophy. The Iunior and Senior Varsity cheerlead- ers both spent a great deal of time and ef- fort to turn out a good, strong cheering sec- tion to support our Amherst High Hurricane team for another year. M.

Losing five regulars is a blow to any small high school basketball team, but it is expected that capable reserves from last year, plus a number of freshman hopefuls will be able to take up the slack. Returning starters are Randy Crowley for his third season and Iim Bias, Iohn Dziuba, and Chuck Roys for their second years. Also returning will be Ion Osgood, Dan Truesdell, Dick Bennett, and R. K. Patrick. A six game independent slate has been scheduled in addition to the ten game Hampshire League 'card. CROSS COUNTRY The cross country team, created this year under the direction of Mr. Sethares, was faced with tough competition in its three meets. Since no public school in this area had a team, the Amherst seven were to con- tend against Deerfield Academy, Mount Hermon, and the Amherst College Fresh- men. Endurance, speed, and enthusiasm led to an outstanding victory at Deerfield, al- though Amherst casualties and strong op- ponents led to defeat on the two successive meets. B. Roberts, S. Iohnson, D.
