'Q 4. .,. 1 V X . ..4 ' In thisera, the age of the atom, the free world looks to me United States for leadership and guidance. Our cotmtry is proud of its leaders and of the prominence in world affairs which they have brought to us. Yet, perhapsourmost important leaders seldom, if ever, make theheadlines. These bdrind-the-scenes powers are the everyday man-on-the-street, the parents, and the teachers. These' are the true leaders of Democracy. I As these people are, in their own special way, today's leaders, so are we, the beneficiaries of their efforts, today's followers. At this stage, we are leaming and developing that, we midst someday take our places in the world as its leaders. It is with that thought in mind that we look into our futures and prepare ourselves for the time that we emerge the leaders of Democracy. .

Hurt by the loss of last year's ace pitch- er, Russ Fritz, through an injury, the in- experienced Bulldogs nevertheless worked hard and showed improvement during the season. Harold Ard's home run was the highlight of the opening 7-3 loss to Sullivan.

JUNIOR SENIOR PROM On April 26, 1958, at seven-thirty, the small gymnasium of Bement High was filled with APRIL LOVE. This was the night that the juniors entertained the seniors at the annual Prom. As they arrived, the seniors were greeted by a small group of juniors who escorted them into the pink powder room. Here they hung their wraps, freshened up, or relaxed. Then they entered The Patio. It was beautifully decorated with a stone wall around the edge. Above this wall was green crepe paper lattice-work. From the top of the lattice-work, a false ceiling of matching green crepe paper extend- ed to the center where balloons hung. After visiting until 8:00 PM., everyone started dancing to the music of the Paul Karlstrom Orchestra. This orches- tra provided rhythms ranging from rock 'n' roll to rhimibas to waltzes. Later in the evening a buffet dinner was served by several of the sophomore girls at a table at the south end of The Patio. On this candle-lighted table was a delicious array of food including deviled eggs, olives, stuffed prunes. pineapple chunks, pickles, radishes, and carrot curls inserted by multi-colored toothpicks into heads of lettuce, open-faced sand- wichesg cold cut horns, ribbon sandwichesg creamed chicken on croutonsg lime gelatin salad, cherry tarts, and lemonade. Tables lighted from above by Japanese lanterns were were provided for eating behind the stone wall on the east. Through- out the evening pictures, if wanted, were taken by the Kam- era Klub. Promptly at eleven o'- clock the orchestra played their final number, ending an evening of APRIL LOVE and delightful memories. .I v ' l The Latin Club sings carols Ln Latin at the Christmas party After the program in the study hall everyone emoyed the dancing in the small gym and the candy bars and drinks supplred by the faculty SPECIAL Roman Citizen Penny Pope reads What has happened to the study hall?

Our country is proud of its leaders and of the prominence in world affairs which they have brought to us. 7 e Yet, perhaps our most important leaders seldom, if ever, make the headlines. These behind-the-scenes powers are the everyday man-on-the-street, the parents, and the teachers. These' are the true leaders of Democracy. n As these people are, in their own special way, today's leaders, , so are we, the beneficiaries of their efforts, today s followers. At this stage, we are learningand developing that, we might someday take our places in the world as its leaders. It is with that thought in mind that we look into our futures h t e emer e the leaders N' and prepare ourselves for the time t a w g of Democracy. r y n ii-w Q ,K 2 ms: 13, Q- ':i-.- . A-.0-ga, s g.
