0605 CHARACTER OF A HAPPY LIFE How happy is he born and taught That serves not another's will: Whose armor is his honest thought And simple truth his utmost skill! Whose passions not his masters are, Whose soul is still prepared for death, Not tied unto the world with care Of public fame, or private breathg Who envies none that chance does raise Or viceg who never understood How deepest wounds are given by praiseg Nor rules of state, but rules of good: Who has his life from rumors freeu Whose conscience is his strong retreat Whose state can neither flatters feed Nor rum make accusers great Who God does late and early pray More of His grace than gifts to lend And entertains the harmless day With a well chosen book or friend - This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise, or fear to fallg Lord of himself, though not of lands, And having nothing, yet has all. - SIR HENRY WOTTON

We, the class of 1958, have experienced many failures, but our achievements outnumber them greatly. These achievements we hold with memo- rable fondness in our hearts today. After eight years of hard studying, we began with excitement our freshman year. With Miss Garrison as our leader, we received numerous honors, and our scholastic rating was high. In that class we were pleased to have Miss Homecoming of 1954, several Martin Warriors through football and basket- ball, and we were tops in all of the fund driving organizations of the school. Excitingly, with our freshman year behind us, we stepped forward to the advancement of sophomore. This was a very thrilling year for us. We won second maid to Miss Homecoming, and the Beta, Dramatics, M , and Thespian Clubs were opened unto us for membership. During this exciting year we enjoyed several class parties with Mrs. Thomaston, our home room and history teacher. We shall never forget those parties and history classes. As our exciting Junior year dawned, we began to realize that there was only one year left after it We opened our eyes to the fact that along with our amusement we must have a time for studying. With Mrs. Tyndal as our guide, we were very successful in our strivings to make and to do better. Although she has moved, she will always hold a place in our hearts. We proudly gave the Seniors a banquet, the joint Christmas party, and happily won first place in the homecoming parade and third maid to Miss Homecoming of 1957. We were thrilled to have one cheerleader from our class to cheer for our Martin Warriors. This past September we entered Thomas W. Martin High School as Seniors This year has proved to be the most wonderful of all four years of high school. In November Miss Homecoming of 1958 and her escort reigned. Then in December we had the pleasure of having Mr. Martin High and three other favorites chosen from the Senior class. We boast of having the co-cap tain of football and three cheerleaders. With this Senior year coming to an end, we wish to thank you, Miss White, for the wonderful en- couragement and inspiring thoughts that you have given us throughout this year. There is only one thing we request of the readers of the MARTINIANg enjoy reading this history and when you think of the class of 1958 - LET YOUR THOUGHTS BE GOOD ONES.
