SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President, Sandra Werner Boy Representative, William Van0stberg Secretary, Carol Pets Vice-President, Ollie Clark Girl Representative, Mary Godfrey Treasurer, Janet Davis Senior los As the days passed with increasing swiftness, bring- ' ing graduation closer and closer, we looked back on our four years of high school and realized that these years were good ones. We also realized that all good things must come to an end organized itself under President Bill Va.n0stberg and om' I t B only project was a very successful bake sale. O We began our four year career as Freshmen The class I g Our Sophomore year got off to a good start with the election of officers: Toby Werner, President, Barbara Burr, Vice-President, Sharon Werner, Secretary, and Janet Davis, Treasurer. The Sophomore Dance, greatly enjoyed and very successful, was described by Hr. Taylor as 'one of the best dances I can remember. As Juniors, we elected our officers with the following results: Presi- dent, Toby Werner, Vice-President, Eric Hustoneng Secretary, Carol Petzg Treasurer, Janet Davis. Our first activity in 'this busy year was another successful dance held after an exciting basketball game which we won from Perry. Then we presented the Junior Play, directed by Miss French and Mrs. Rhebergen, Tll4E OUT FOR GINGER, which received very good reviews. With our reputation and confidence growing, we expounded our energies in our final undertaking of the year, the Junior Prom, the theme of which was 'Harbor Lights. After such a successful year, we fearlessly faced the challenging responsibility and business of Seniors. At last! We mds it! To perform the various duties of the class, we re-elected last year's officers, the only change being Ollie Clark as the Vice-President. We started the year again with a bang with the presentation of the play CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN directed by Miss Brayer and Mrs. Rhebergen. Then we tackled our main money-making project, the magazine drive. Divided into two teams, evenly matched, we hit and went over our goal, making more money on this project than arq class before us. A Sock Hop, followed :Ln a few months by the Senior Ball :Ln April, started the beginning of the end for our activities as a class. Finally the highlight of the four years' endeavor became a reality. All debts and dues being paid, the Senior Class left for Washington to have Bae last fling together. Graduation was neoct. Had scrambling and dashing all over to get ready. Ham will be going to college. Others will sec1u'e work. The Class of 1958 can proudly look back on its high school years with a feeling of accomplishment and a job well- done. 15 CLASS ADVISORS Mr. Jack Dudley Hr. Robert N. Taylor

rincipal' essuge 'THE ULD ORDER CHANGETH YIELDIIB PLACE TO NEW' This quotation from the Tales of King Arthur is an indication of the changes that will be taking place, in our school program during the coming years. This indicates, also, that changes have been occurring constantly during the lives of you who are Seniors. In fact, you will become accustomed to the idea that the accepted procedure of lite is change. It is entirely :Ln keeping, then, that we look briefly at the past history of our school and glance at its immediate future. Since 1927, the Seniors of Attica High School have been graduating from the old high school building. During that time, the quality of education has been given great emphasis. The areas of languages, mathematics and science have been considered the basic requirements of its edu- cational system. The ocnnercial and vocational courses have added their part to the opportunities offered. This building and the program available there have served their p1n'poses well. The prospect of a neu building is present in the minds of all. We expect that with its opening will come new opportunities, not courses and a further advance :Ln the educational system that will bring better opportunities to all who take part. Let us not forget that with these new opportunities come new responsib ties that will demand the best of all concerned. 6 S , ? 114
