After two months of laborious preparation by cast, chorus, and stage crew, Naughty Marietta , the bi- annual operetta. received applause and praise. Measuring for caps and gowns, and the writing of class night skits made the seniors realize that gradua- tion was fast approaching. Twirp Twirl ended the Twirp season in a circus atmosphere. The West Relays, Spring Concert, and the publi- cation of Patterns in Print , signified that the end of the year was near. Awards Day and the Nat'ional Honor Society induc- tion gave credit to those students who had served and honored their school by hard work in extra-curricular activities, and by obtaining high grades. The junior class, by custom, entertained the seniors at Grad Dance. Senior Banquet and Class Night with its zany skits and the party at the Club Chanticleer ended the high school careers of the class of '57.

Dutton Senior Christmas Memories Are We've got . . . steam heat! Football Half-time First Semester Senior year for the class of '57-a year of fad and fancy, fatigue and frustration, fun and friends. Nine- teen fifty-seven was a year that memory will not ignore. First And of the year was a mock political con- vention. A Coupon Book was nominated for President of class activities. Banners were waved, there was cheering and yelling, and Mr. Book's supporters marched through the aisles. Memories of summer political conventions were not far into the background, when the student body voted in a mock election. Incumbent President Eisenhower was the overwhelming victor! You Can't Take It With Youl' by Hart and Kauf- man was chosen for the fall play. This hilarious comedy had the audience laughing all night. No resume of the year 1957 could be complete without a mention of Elvis Presley, and Ivy Leaguen style clothes. How many dozens of locker doors had pictures of that side-burned, rock n' roll singer?
