Class Song SUNG TO THE TUNE OF HEY, LOOK ME OVER Hey, look us over, lend us an ear, We are the class that graduates this year. We are the best class, of that we're aware. For whenever you get right down to it, what others can compare? And we will all be remembered by teachers here For our good work throughout all these years. We're the fiftieth class to leave this school We've put on quite a show, and we're very sad to go. No other class in school had had such a need for boys Even with such a loss, we made up for it in noise. With all the twenty girls, you'll find it hard to believe With two, four, six, eight boys we balanced accounts with ease. History outlines, square roots and all In our French weive had quite a ball. And at English rules we pass every test. ln literature we did rack our brains to think of epithets. As boys in their drafting class have drawn plans by the score, We girls in sewing find ripping a chore. Weire so grateful for all Berkeley Hall has done- Even the work has been fun. Hey, look out world, Here we come. Guided Missile-Toes By MARILYNN SCOTT Santa swings as Fabian sings. The academic 1960 rocked out as the new year rolled in at the annual Christmas formal. All the girls were smashing hits in their dazzling formals. The boys, decked out in their best, were perfect partners for Berkeley Hall beauties. The girls, according to tradition, received a beautiful gardenia corsage upon entering the fabulous array of Berkeley Hall splendor. Tasty sandwiches, bite size, and a beautiful Christmas cake, along with a Christmas punch were served as refreshments. The dance music, instead of records, came from a band hired for the occasion. Everyone enjoyed the delightful decorations made by Mrs. Richards eighth grade art class. This wonderful evening was concluded by customary singing of Christmas Carols by the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Lastly the parents and chaperones joined the group to sing Blest Christmas Morn by'Mary Baker Eddy. Ninth Grade Tea By LYNNE ST1MsoN The beautiful Bel-Air home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Horton was the setting for the ninth grade tea given by the Past Officers of the Berkeley Hall Mothers' Club on Saturday, the Thirteenth of May. The guests, the mothers of the junior High pupils and all the girls were ushered down the long receiving line of our twenty ninth grade girls. The girls made a picture of loveliness in their pastel formals and bouquets. The guests wandered around the natural looking pool and gay gardens overlooking the city. Everyone had a wonderful time. Ronald Ballard and'Carol Osherenko were the Readers for the Thanksgiving service. Mrs. Mavis Purtle played the music and the hymns. Mrs. Pam Brookins sang the solo. Annual Thanksgiving Meeting-Set By DELORIS CARDOZO The Annual Thanksgiving service was conducted with dignity by members of the ninth grade. The readers were Carol Oshe- tenko and Ron Ballard. Each ninth grade boy served as an usher. Many parents and friends of the school appreciated the simplic- ity of the service. Following the Thanksgiving lesson, Mrs. Brookins sang a solo. Appropriate testimonies and words' of gratitude from the members of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade classes helped to make our program a success. We wish to give special credit to Mrs. O'Connor for the time she spent helping the readers perfect their parts.

Mother, You must. Th Marvelous Mikado which is given each year by the grad- uating class reached new heights of artistic achievement. Cen- ter is Marilynn Scott playing Katisha, a difficult comedy role, for which she received a thunderous ovation. Far right are Magnificent ' By BONNIE BLEICHMAN In November the ninth grade class gave the play, The Mikado. The parts were played by: Yum-Yum, Deloris Cardozo, Peep- Bo, Pam Sharman, Pitti-Sing, Linda Ertz, Mikado, Jim Whit- more, Ko Ko, Clark Spaulding, Nanki-Poo, jay Oren, Pooh-Bah, Don Ledbetter, Pish-Tush, Bruce Cardeg Katisha, Marilynn Scott. There was also a girls' chorus and a boys' chorus. Mrs. Purtle directed two songs and Mrs. Dlouhy, with her usual loving care and patience, directed our skit. Mrs. Cardozo, very thoughtfully, volunteered the props and the whole play was indeed spectacular, if not very professional. The opinion of the ninth grade is that even though it was diflicult at times to learn the parts, it is something that gave our class a great deal of satisfaction and the end result was very Obvious . . . A magnificent Mikado!! Boys' Athletics BY RON BALLARD The boys' athletics program started off with flag football. The Whites under Captain Don Ledbetter and Steve Arthur took the Flag season. The tackle season was also captured by the Whites in a close season. The captains alternated in that season. In the final ball game the Blues rallied and scored four touchdowns. Captains of the teams were Clark Spaulding of the Whites and Dave Shoop and Ron Ballard, captains of the blue flag team along with Jon Jarvis. At the beginning of the new year we started out with basketball. Not many games that counted were played but the blues managed to capture the ones that counted. Ron Ballard was captain of the Blues and Dave Shoop of the Whites. Next the boys confiscated the back field again and through a black and blue season the Whites managed to keep games in their favor. Captains again were Dave Shoop, Blues and Ron Ballard, Whites. In baseball the games were very close. Captains were Don Ledbetter, Blues and Jim Whitmore. I think appreciation should be paid to both of the coaches, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Glazer. three great actresses that brought Hollywood to its feet. De- loris Cardozo as Yum-Yum was yummy. Linda Ertz as Pitti-Sing and Pamela Sharman as Peep-Bo were strong supporting sis- ters in the Marvelous Mikado. W ant Ads By ADELE WILKEN, SANDY GOSSLAND, PAM SHARMAN 1.

Her mother said, Yes, but you must take the dog. Susie, I don't want to take the dog! Mother went on upstairs and watched from the window. The dog started to follow Susie. Susie stopped, stamped her foot, and said, Go back! Go back! The dog waited then started again. Susie was really mad this time. Go back! It's bad enough that I have to have God with me all the time, so, I don't want you!

LM Big Sister-Little Sister dresses were made by the Ninth Grad- ers and modelled with their show stealing little sisters. The lit- tle sisters were kept well in hand by balloon man, Alex Goss- land, who also gave them cookies. Modelling from left to right are Pamela and Patti Sharman, Debbie and Linda Ertz, Lorrie and Jane Larson, and Mary Montgomery with Mrs. Richard's granddaughter, Christine. Mrs. Lucky Fickett, president of the Berkeley Hall Mothers' Club, presents red roses to Mrs. Dorothy Richards for her wonderful work with the Ninth Grade sewing class and for the very beau- tiful fashion show. Granddaughter Christine also received a nosegay. Mrs. Richards and Christine are wearing their grand- mother-granddaughter matching dresses. FASHION SHOW TIME By MARY MONTGOMERY and JOY RICH This year the ninth grade gave a gay, stylish, dashing, colorful, and terrific fashion show for the Mothers' Club on Thursday, April 27. We had 68 changes, more than any other fashion show at Berkeley Hall. The first twenty dresses made by the girls at school were shown as a college wardrobe. The eighth grade girls sat on the stage chatting about the colleges they would attend. Each girl came out in a dress to represent one of the colleges. For the first time, several of the girls made dresses for their younger sisters as well as themselves. These girls were Janie Larson and Laurie, Pamela Sharman and Patti, Linda Ertz and Debbie. The fourth pair was Mary Montgomery with Christine, Mrs. Richard's granddaughter. These darling little girls simply stole the show. The beach scene was another important part of the show. Gay capris, shorts, culottes, and saucy beach dresses were mod- eled under a real beach setting. The last thirty dresses passed by quickly as they appeared in groups. At the finale each girl walked down from the stage and lovingly presented a carnation to her mother with a kiss. We had a lovely tea afterwards. Mrs. Dlouhy lovingly made little verses about each girl and Mrs. Montgomery described the clothes. Many thanks to the back stage hands who helped dress and put on make-up. Special thanks to Mrs. Richards who kept us quiet, looked over, and pushed us out with great joy and satisfaction. Every Ninth grader is grateful to Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Montgomery for teaching us the art of sewing, how to blend colors, and how to stand on our own two feet. On the beach-bright, gold, zany beach dresses and play clothes modelled by their authors.
