On a warm September morning in 1952, we, the members of the Class of 1958, assembled in front of Washington High School for the first time, looking at the older students with something akin to awe, hoping that the butterflies in our stomachs weren't reflected in the expression of our faces. As the days passed some of our qualms disappeared and we began to feel a part of the student body as we learned, under the guidance of our teachers, the history of our school, its faculty members, the functions of the Student Council, and thrilled as we learned and sang our ALMA MATER. We returned in September 1953, much more confident, feeling very much superior to the entering seventh graders. Our first project as a class came this year-a trip to Philadelphia, in connection with our Science course, to visit Franklin Institute. We shared the trip with a tenth grade class from Cambridge High School. It was a memorable event for us all. This year, too, saw our first school assembly presented- to us, the best assembly ever presented-a one-act pantomine, The Lamp Went Outf' 1954- Freshmen! We began the study of the history and social customs of South America. We took our second class trip to Washington, D.C., where we visited, among other places, the Pan-American Union Building. We presented an assembly based on Latin America. Later we sponsored the Freshman Speciali' dance. In 1955 we returned with the proud name of Sophomores. We began to take a more active part as individuals in school affairs. As a class we sponsored the Skater's Paradise dance. Without much ado we finished the year successfully. Juniors! Alice Miller was our Class President, with Nancy Gibbon as Vice President, Allen Muir as Treasurer, Darla Layfield as Secretary. Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. Johnson were our sponsors. The Junior Hoedown, our class dance, increased our treasury comfortably. We held bake-s,,planning for the needs of the Prom and of our Senior year. Bob Pulliam and Darla L'ayfiold.,hr.9-gght us reflected glory by winning the Somerset County Declamation Contest. After weeksqf- preparation we finished our plans for the L'Bali Hiai Ballf, the Junior-Senior Prom. Decorated iff. n theme, the auditorium, to us, had never looked more beautiful-and the weariness of preparation was forgotten as we danced to the music of the Rhythmettes. The Theatre Party and Prom Breakfast added memories to the occasion. Allen Muir and Nancy Gibbon were chosen as President and Vice President, respectively, of the Student Council. Just before school closed we ordered our class rings. Many of us had our driving licenses, and summer jobs ahead. Came June 7 and fond dreams of our Senior year. O, Happy Day, September 5, 1957! SENIORS! No butterflies now! We were members of the Graduating Class! We assembled with heads held just a little higher. Miss Flurer and Mr. Gaddis were our sponsors. Things began to happen-Johnny Barnes was our Class President, with Ireva Townsend, Vice President, Doris Richard- son, Secretary, Wayne Tull, Treasurer, assisting him, Julian Bull, Queen of the annual Livestock Show, James Doyle, President of the F.F.A., Jimmy Byrd walking off with all the honors at the Farm Shows with his steer, Class Rings, Engagement rings for Julia Bull and Alice Miller, The Senior Class Dance, The Christmas Formal, The Snow Ballf, with the Rhythmettes again, Billy Foxwell and Linda Riggin producing the Yearbook, Linda in the All-State Band, Ireva Townsend and Alice Mae Kohlheim, Cheerleaders, The Prom, Commencement, The coveted diploma a reality at last, Memories of Washington High .and Class of '58 to be cherished forever!
