They have acquired many wonderful memories and experiences, and hope that the class of '58 will be remembered for years to come. With the leadership of president Tom Van Winkle, the other officers, and the advisers, Mrs. Martha Davidson, Mr. Elmon Ousley, and Mr. Richard Ienkins, the seniors have led the classes in experience, originality and ambition. The newly formed class councils operated this year, and many new ideas were carried out with greatest efficiency. 'Way back in the freshman year, the class of '56 held a worthwhile Clothes for Korea drive, and inaugurated the idea of class banquets. As sophomores, they were the first class to hold a dance in the new gym, and they made the most of their opportunity by presenting Gaitie' Parisienne. The following year, this ambitious class transformed the gym into a des- ert castle, and created Scherherazade, the junior prom. The class demonstrated its fine spirit at all WORLDLY WISE games, and showed its cleverness by winning the Homecoming plaque two years in a row. In all the athletic teams seniors predominated and gave fine performances. The seniors have been well represented in dramatic productions, and this year's senior play, Line of Scrimmage, was a roaring suc- cess. Marilyn Stutz and Gordon Dickman skill- fully played the lead roles with the aid of a fine cast and production crew. In April, the senior class had its last and big- gest fling, Midnight Sun, the senior ball. Un- der the chairmanship of Iohn Milligan and Ben Barker, all the committees worked hard to make this a very sunny midnight. Also in the month of bursting buds, thirty-six of the senior brains took a day off to go on the Honor Society cruise. Then, as the seniors' four years at Bellevue drew to a close, the class had senior white day, senior dress-up day, and teach day to keep them in the public eye. The class of '56 has seen the school grow, and for years to come they will look back on their All-American school as the foundation of their happiness in life. 25
