In appreciation . . . . the 1959 Dial staff dedicates this volume to Mr. Roy Weshin- skey, head of the English department at Carbondale Community High School. During the years he has been at Community, he has helped to make English a fascinating experience and has succeeded in entertaining many a student with his delightful wit. Speech, in his hands, was molded into a valuable course as he encouraged and helped those students interested in improving their abilities or in overcoming their handicaps. In addition to his teaching, hc has directed some important ex- tra-curricular activities. When he first came to CCHS in 1954, he took over the sponsorship of the Monitor, our school paper, which position he held for five years. He is presently adviser to the CCHS chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. His interest in drama and the world of entertainment has led to his directing the drama activities at Community. He has suc- cessfully produccd and directed a number of fine plays since he has been here. Because of his sincerity, his concern for the interests of the in- dividual student, and his service to the school, We wish to show our esteem for Mr. Weshinslcey through the dedication of this book.

Many enjoyable and memorable moments junior-Senior Prom and Homecoming! One seldom realizes the hard work and ingenuity needed to trans- form a yawning gym or the big stage in our auditorium into a colorful ballroom with warm lights and soft music. The weeks previous to the dance are hectic, with everyone trying to accomplish what seems to be im- possible. Slowly and with great pains the decorations are finishedg all the arrangements are made and none too soon, for the big night is almost here. Finally the anxiously awaited evening arrives, and everything is running smoothly. The band arrives on schedule, there are plenty of refreshments, and the cou- ples begin to arrive. The evening spent in dancing and soft conversation, is climaxed by the Coronation, an exciting event for all concerned. In the wee small hours of the morning with aching feet and foggy heads, all tumble into bed thinking, HIL was all like a beautiful dream.
