I N l SBIIOR MESSAGE The initiation and completion of any worthwhile project, whether large or small, require the contributions of many different people. These efforts are of two kinds. The first involves thinking, planning and creative imagination. This portion of the work, when related to a school building, is the responsibility of the architect. He consults with the Board of Education and members of the teaching staff and discusses with them various ideas about size, shape, color and design of the different parts of the building. After a general plan is determined, the architect begins the detailed design of the structure. This step introduces the second kind of effort, that of producing in tangible fem the ideas that have been developeda Now are used drawings, descriptions and models to picture the final fonm. The skill of many hands is required to complete this stage. The contractor is ready now to begin construction of the building. This requires combined efforts of many workmen with various skills. Laborers carpenters, masons and painters, plumbers and electricians, contribute their skills to produce the finished building. When students enter and begin to use a building, the processes of planning and working by plan begin again. Each step is dependent upon and becomes a part of the other. Plans and designs that can not be used to build a useful product are of no value. Work and skill without plan and direction can accomplish nothing. Together, however, possibilities are limitless.

Kirchner A Mrs. ox ay?-f Q,-W S Senior Officers H i 5f0f Y The end of our senior year creates an atmosphere throughout the class of mixed emotions. We look back upon our four years of high school with a feeling of both nostalgia and accomplishment. We are taking a great deal away with us, but we also feel that we have left something of ourselves behind. Our freshman year was largely a matter of orientating ourselves to high school methods. To lead us we elected Judy Bennicn president, Dale Fullington vice president, Sally Stockholm secretary, and Jim DuPont treasurer. Filled with confidence after having survived our freshman year, we once again elected Judy Bennion class president. we became slightly more active that year and held a very successful dance. As we entered our junior year, we suffered the sobering effects of becoming upper classmen. As the year advanced, however, we dropped our aura of dignity and developed a nwell,where do we go from here?' attitude. To represent us during our most active year yet, we elected Jack Gerard president, Dick Petherick vice president, Sally Stockholm secretary, Pat Richter treasurer, Mary Alice Ruff girl representative, and Jack James boy representative. In our junior year we presented a good play and an exceptionally beautiful, very successful prom. We looked with awe at the rapidly approaching senior yearl Then, suddenly, it was upon us. We were struck by the whirlwind of activity which accompanies senior years. The Class of '59 broke all records with their magazine sale, netting over 83,000. We joined the Junior Class and presented a very successful play, and began to concentrate on the Senior Ball. To lead us through this maze of activity we elected Dick Petherick president, Jack Gerard vice president, Karen Hathaway secretary, and Pat Richter treasurer. The Senior Ball equalled the prom in both beauty and successfulness. The seniors then looked forward to the trip to Washington. They became typical sightseers, trying to see everything and go everywhere at once. We came home tired but filled with information and tall tales. We then faced graduation and the 'parting of ways.' We look back upon our years in high school with gratitude to the faculty and stud t h h helped us so much. Mr. Kirchner and Mrs. Cox, as advisors, accepted the responsibilitsnog :ll 02:6 projects and to them we are especially grateful. We now look forward to fulfilling our own dreams and because of the background given us by our parents and teachers, we indeed feel that we have the world in our hands. 14
