The Senior Walk was painted several times during the year. HIMLL Highlights, the production in which five local high schools pooled their talents, was pre- sented in March at another school. The month of April brought forth one of the year's biggest and long- est-to-be remembered events, the Junior-Senior Prom. April Love was again staged at the Hollywood Riviera Country Club in Brentwood Hills. 6'Jazz A La Carte preceded the big activity of May, Senior Week. The four-day Senior Week began with an asembly of Senior talent in the auditorium. On the next day the Seniors took over Ingle- wood's city government. Then on Wednesday they took over teaching and administrative positions of the school. The week was beiittingly climaxed by the Senior Holiday or Ditch Day. This took place at Disneyland and was attended by over 300 Seniors, who had to pay only for part of the day's activities. The Senior Banquet in June was paid for entirely from the class treasury. Cooking, serving, and cleaning up were taken care of by the P-TA, Senior Mothers, and the Dad's Club. Class Wills and Prophecies were read here in an amusing story form. The theological inspiration por- tion of graduation was given in the auditorium in the form of Baccalaureate Services. After weeks of rehearsals, the class of 1958 graduated in a beautiful ceremony at Centinela Bowl on June 19. Commencement was followed by a Graduation Party that same night at the Hollywood Pal- ladium. Money from lollipop and fudge sales during the year helped pay for this final Senior event and the 4 a.m. breakfast that followed it.

SENIOR CABINET enior Class Looking at the proud class of 1958 one sees former Morningside students who are about to take their place as loyal citizens of the community. At the start of their long career at MHS in the Fall of l954, these Seniors were only a group ol' dis- organized Freshmen. After electing class oflicers and getting accustomed to campus life, they were soon united and ready to plan their class activities for the year, They started the year off by L'Getting Acquainted' at the dance of the same name which was spon- sored by the then Senior class. Some of their own big activities included the Freshmen Sports Night, class picnic. and a Frosh Talent Show. They also had the customary bake sales and several class parties. As Sophomores, they held the Frosty Fantasy at Christmas time. Greeting cards were sold in order to make money, and other sales for the same purpose were a fudge sale, pickle sale, and Easter egg sale. There was also a Sophomore Picnic, and towards the end of the year Senior rings were chosen. Many graduating Monarchs can still remember the few trying months in which classes had to be conducted in tents. During the times when it rained the water would seep into the tents and get stu- dents as well as chairs soaking wet. Moving into the Junior year, the class name t Majestics J and the colors Cbrown and mint greenj were chosen, and the Senior sweaters and jackets were ordered. The class of '58 planned the second combined Junior-Senior Prom, Moonglow, which was a big success. The class play, Teach Me How to Cry. was also a very successful event. Among the sales held that year were those for Ivy League hats, snow cones and cotton candy. The cartoon show was another event put on by the class. The decorating for the Senior Banquet, ushering at commencement. and providing flower girls were some of the services given by the Majestics. Seniors began their final year by honoring the Freshmen at the annual Get-Aequainted dance. The largest moneymaking event. the Senior Play. I Remember Mama, took place in November and brought the class S500 toward the cost of future events. Tommy Jones' orchestra provided the music for
