Mem- bers of this class worked extremely hard on the magazine drive and, as a result, came out in first place. As a reward, 25 per cent of the net sales, $156.60, was added to an already large treasury. As a further means of raising funds, girls in the class sold shakers at the football games. In November they sponsored a most successful Junior Prom. Many participated in sports. Included among the boys who went out for both football and basketball are Dave Curran, Dave Cammett, Steve Crane, Kenny Billings, and Bill Corley. Girls who participated in the intramural program are Bonny Clapp, Barbara Bradley, Cindy Radack, Cindy Ridley, Sue Eldridge, Marcia Imbeault, Marcia Parady, Linda Jorgen- sen, Nancy Manning, Mary Knox, and Evelyn Jennings. The class also did well academically. Nancy Manning and Evelyn Jennings made the high honor roll for the first quarter, and Joan Hinckley, Marcia Imbeault, Scott Tobiason, Mary Knox, Ted Manning, Sue Mollison, Linda Jorgensen, and Steve Crane made the honor roll with an average of 80 per cent. It is certain that with the ambition and drive displayed by this class in the past that their final performance should be a history-making one and well worth observing. .

New Status In Drama Second Year Students Show Great Promise For The Future Largest class in the school, the sophomores number forty-eight. Advisors for this group are Mr. Field and Miss Dobens. The class is well represented academically with six students on the high honor roll for the first quarter, including Raynor Kenison, Nancy Barnett, Carol Porter, Elizabeth Burton, Robert Davis, and Thomas Goodwin. Students attaining a B average are Gail Silva, Judith Young, Helga Delvik, and Joseph Hyland. Total sales for the magazine drive amounted to $357 with the class taking fourth place. The class plans to make a better show next year. Top salesman was Raynor Kenison. Many boys represented the sophomore class in both football and basketball. Included on the football team are Laurie McCoy, Michael Backry, Jackie Gleason, Gene McDonough, Warren and Calvin Heath, and Milton Notman, with Gardner Bullock and Robert Baxter serving as managers. Five boys from this class made the varsity basketball team: Laurie McCoy, John Purington, Joseph Hyland, Brian Lane, and Thomas Goodwin. Many of the girls went out for intramural and did very well. Gail Silva and Nancy Barnett made the junior varsity cheerleading squad, with Nancy as the captain. As Story goes to press, tentative plans are being made for a Valentines dance. Students hope that these plans materialize and that the dance is a great success. 13 .7 FIRST ROW, Left to Right: P. Klyce, W. Swenson, P. Sucharski, B. Jennings. SECOND ROW: J. Thompson, D.

Young , Eager, Willing To Learn Freshmen Now Fully Accepted As Part Of The Story Scene Thirty-seven new, eager students entered Story High School for the first time on Septem- ber 4, 1958. Advisors for the group are Mr. Zani and Mr. Schlegel. It was not too long before these young people became a familiar and accepted part of the Story scene. They got off to a flying start by proving themselves academically within the first few months. On the high honor roll for the first quarter were Harry Hull, Ann Cooper, David Cressey, Jean Emslie, Uldis Delvik, Donna Purington, and Linda Rhodes. Alan Rice made the B honor roll. These freshman are well represented in sports with Elliot Crocker and Peter Foster on the varsity basketball team. Junior varsity members include Bill Gates, Hardy NaUy, Alex Backry, and Elliot Crocker. In the magazine drive the freshmen came in second. They received 15 per cent of the net receipts, which resulted in an addition to their treasury of $93.96. High salesmen in this group were Hardy Nally and Alex Backry. These newcomers have faithfully supported all school functions and should prove a credit to Story High School in the years to come. 14 REPARfNG for future Three training programs are available for all students depending on the type of role the student plans to assume after graduation.

This group is under the supervision of Mr. Purpel, director of school plays for the past two years. The club is planning to present several short plays and will be instrumental in selecting and presenting the annual school play. Although the club is small, it is hoped that it will take roots and become a permanent organization at Story. French Club Plans STANDING, Left to Right: Mr. Purpel E. Gulfillan, J. Christensen, J.

This fine product was the work of the ambitious members of the Newspaper Club who learned through experience the trials and tribulations of publishing a newspaper. With Nancy Manning as editor-in-chief, the staff had the additional task of raising funds to finance the project. Funds were raised by cake sales and indivi- dual subscriptions. Highlighting each publication is the selection of the two outstanding students of the quarter, each stud- ent to be selected on the basis of school spirit, scho- lastic achievement, and citizenship. This honor for the first quarter went to Gail Burton and Dave Curran.

Laughter and music dominated the Me- morial School gym on the night of the junior prom, November 7, 1958. After the grand march, which was led by Dave Cammett and Cynthia Ridley, the young ladies in their formal gowns escorted by the gentlemen dressed in their Sunday best, passed through the receiving line to greet their chaperones. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of Billy Rich and his Millionaires. The Oriental theme was carried out by a back- drop of Oriental design with a lovely Jap- anese pagoda at one end of the gym. Junior class advisors, Mr. Edwards and Mrs. Miller, devoted much time and en- couragement to the proceedings, so that the evening resulted in a very happy and t emorable one for those who attended. Cynthia Ridley shakes hands with Mr. Mrs. Place and Mr. Mrs. Austin as she starts through the receiving line. 26 Dancers join hands as they prepare to change partners.

The setting of the play is a jury room in which twelve jurors are trying to decide the fate of a young boy being tried for the murder of his father. Suspense and ten- sion mounts throughout the drama until the thrilling and surprising climax. Under the fine direction of Mr. Purpel and with the excellent work of the cast, the play was a smash hit. Behind the scenes Mary Emslie acted as stage manager. Miss Dobens, Miss Chorebanean, and Mrs. Hardy were re- sponsible for the excellent makeup job. C. Eyberse, D. Olson, L. Spoerry, and M. Lane listen attentively as J. Dermody expresses a rather definite opinion. L. Forss takes the floor as E. Gilfillan, S. Drew, D. Curran, and J.

Although the team has lost all games to date, the boys hope for more success in coming contests. The team was severly hurt by the loss of eight starters from last year ' s varsity. This left the varsity with only two players, Captain Bill Laskowski, and Dave Curran, with any previous varsity experience to start the season. Although the team has yet to win, the boys have shown steady improvement. With the spirited play of some of the younger boys, the team could cause trouble in the League during the second half. The outcome of next year ' s season seems to hold a brighter outlook. FIRST ROW, Left to Right: T. Manning, S. Crane, T. Carroll, K. Crane, D. Curran, W. Laskow- ski, P. Dalton, Mr. Hyland.

Starring On The Diamond A record of three wins and nine losses was the final tally for the 1958 baseball season. While the season was far from a successful one, the fact that the team was young and inexperienced ac- counted for some of the difficulty. Kerry Crane was the only senior member of the group. The outlook for next season looks much brighter as the team will be older and more experienced. The high point of the ' 58 season was a 13-5 win over Ipswich. Returning pitcher, Tom Carroll, did an outstanding job in this game and all the others. Congratulations to Mr. Hyland, the teams ' untiring coach, who this year completes his 20th year of coaching at Story. Veteran pitcher, Tom Carroll, winds up for a long one.
