CLASS HISTORY As our theme, we chose School Means Many Things. It is quite appropriate because our class has tried to derive many benefits from school. We are thinking not only of scholastic benefits, but also of numerous extracurricular and out-of-school activities which have taken form in our high school years. These moments are forever gone and cannot be relived except in our minds and hearts. We desire to record these events in this summary of the history of the Class of 1959.

We began as pea-green Our first year in high school was an exciting one. In the ensuing four years we would have many exciting experiences, topped off by our Senior Trip and Graduation. MISS BAGG MRS. ROOKE As the first step toward these ultimate goals, we chose Robert Rollo as our president; Nina Beck- with, vice president; Daryl Daus, secretary; and David Harrington, treasurer. MISS SEAMAN The most exciting event of that year was our first evening dance, Stairway to the Stars, ” a semi-formal dance featuring Ray Nelson and his orchestra. Other important events of that year were cake sales, the school picnic, and homework projects such as DAVID COPPERFIELD, and term papers.
