CLASS HISTORY Juno 12. graduation day, will b« the climax of the spring class of 1959 as it walks across the stage to receive the diploma which will bo a key to the future. We shall leave behind three years of memories, some bad but mosty good. Starting out in the L-10 with more than 700, we became the largest class ever at Berkeley High. The Varieties bearing the theme Thru the Years helped acquaint us with our new school. With much enthusiasm we worked for the Spirit Cup which wo almost won by ma’ring second place. For the Soph Hop the social hall was enmeshed in sea atmosphere for Shipwreck with dress being anything that suited the theme. For tho Fun Nite concession, we had the marriage booth and for our class concession we sold popcorn. Tho Soph Hop Wagon Wheel” was the big event of our second semester at Berkeley High. This girl's choice dance was set around a western bam dance theme. To increase the class treasury we sold soft drinks. In the L-ll, the dance of the term was our Junior Prom called Fascination. Our concession was cupcakes and on Fun Nite our booth was called Order of tho Garter,” so named because it was a ring toss aimod at legs. As H-l l's we had reached tho halfway mark, wo were now upperclassmen. We participated in many activities. Manhattan Merry-Go-Round.” the Varieties” being one of them. Our Junior Prom was a semiformal affair called Pink Champagno and our class concession was soft drinks. Then came our final and most oventful year. The L-12 semester was heightened by tho noon show and the sale of gremlins. And then came the long awaited somoster. We were high seniors. We wore finally able to do the prized and restricted. We tried out for the Senior Play, joined Senior committees, and some of us became Rally Boys and Senior Friends. The Senior Play was Inherit tho Wind, a very dramatic and moving play, well performed by tho large cast of about 75 high seniors. Tho success of the Senior Play and the sale of sno-conos insured the class of a Ditch Day which was held in Soars-ville on May 22. The night of June 5 the Social Hall was transformed into ancient Rome, the setting for tho Senior Ball, One Touch of Venus.” Concluding the list of traditional senior activities was the Senior Dinner with everyone coming dressed in whatevor outfit he felt suited the glamorous theme of Bohemian. This graduating class of about 600 is outstanding in many fields. In scholarship, this class rated high with 80 members in HS-CSF, 20 Special Privilege Sealbearers, and 5 National Merit Finalists. And in sports, wo were outstanding, producing 46 lettermen. What lies ahead for us? Whore will we go from here? A groat many of us will go on to higher education, some will join the armed forces, and some will have jobs. Whatovor our destination will be, the impression of our memorable three years al Berkeley High will always remain with us. I-10 Ray Brawler .

SENIOR MESSAGE CONRAD CHEVEZ Pr $id«nt As we are about to graduate, we look back over the three memorable years that we have spent at Berkeley High. For all of us, graduation will bring us sorrow and joy. We will never forget the friendships and acquaintances that we have made. When we first entered Berkeley High, our class showed that it had lots of spirit, but it wasn't until our Senior year that we find ourselves suddenly realizing that soon we will have to face the reality of being out of high school. We can all be proud of the fine record that our class has made; but most of all, we have many memories to cherish as Seniors: The Senior Play, Inherit the Wind, the biggest and best production ever put on by a Senior Class at BHS; Ditch Day, the Senior Ball, the Senior Dinner, and finally graduation. All of these accomplishments could not have been possible if it had not been for you, the Senior Class of Spring '59. I would like to thank Mr. Tudisco, our sponsor, and all the other faculty members who helped make this term a success. Special thanks to Leonard, Jeanie, Joyce, and Pam for their wonderful assistance, and to each and every one of you for your excellent cooperation. Serving you as your class President has been an honor and something that I'll always remember. It's difficult to say good-bye to Berkeley High, but may I wish all of you the best of luck and success. Thank you, CONRAD CHEVEZ LEONARD MADDOX Vic President JEANIE HARDY Secretary JOYCE BURTON Treasurer PAM KIMBALL Social Secretary 24
