CLASS HISTQRY nearly wore out in a few days by constantly gazing at them! The year proved to be just as exciting and eventful as we had hoped. Each i958-'59 Junior remembers something from that wonderful ten months! Every student who was taken into the Honor Society in '58 can still recall that hysterical moment when the symbolic torch burst into flames, requiring one solemnly robed member to leap from his seat and gallantly remove the treacherous ob- ject from the stage. Then came the annual Sweethearts Ball, held in February. The Juniors on the dance committee went bravely ahead with their plans, trying not to think of the fifteen-inch snow which had ungraciously interfered with the same dance, in the previous year. We weren't snowed out, though, much to the relief of those girls who enjoyed fresh flowers. The year progressed, we staggered through mid- term exams, and before we knew it, prom time had rolled around. The Juniors who decorated will never forget the Underwater theme chosen for the prom decorations, and they were beautiful. The Unsung Heroes of the year were Mrs. Crane and Mr. Pentz, class advisors who were more help than we could possibly say! We fin- ished out the school year, really none the worse for wear, and sadly bade farewell to many friends in the graduating class of '59 whose places we would be taking in a few months. We came through the doors of Brooklyn Park as seniors, in the fall of l959, and were the proverbial cocks of the walk - prepared to spend the entire year preening and glorying in being on top of the heap, However, this attitude lasted only as long as it took us to get settled in our classes and see how much work there was to be done and we did work, although our teachers often strongly voiced the opinion that we spent twice as much time in extra-curricular activities as we did in our studies. We didn't loaf all the time, though, most of us managed to gather enough credits to graduate. Mrs. Crane bravely returned in l959 to be our Senior class sponsor along with Mr. Shoup. They had a terrifically tough job, keeping a bunch of stubborn Seniors in tow, and all their help was truly appreciated by everyone. To think back and try to remember all the ex- citing, amusing, maddening, and terrifying things which happened during the year l959-l96O, would be a difficult task for any senior. We worked, danced, laughed, and shouted our ways through our senior year, and there are very few Seniors who can say that this year was not so full of life that many of us almost didn't make it.
