Butler enrolls some 360 teen -agers in one school, mixes 'em up with teachers, textbooks, and hot rods, sends them to six classes for 178 days, lets them play basketball, dance, blast trumpets, publish newspapers and yearbooks, and turns them into well-rounded individuals. And so. . .life at Butler High revolves around the students. Butlerites were busy in 1958. We found it hard to find time to study, time for dates, time for meals, and time for sleep. The snappy marching band came back from state marching contest with their first sweepstakes award, and FFA boys won top honors in judging contests. Butler track stars went to the state cross country meet, our rags to riches basketball team fought their way through an exciting season, and the varsity boys got new uniforms. Meet Me In St. Louis and Girl Shy drew capacity crowds. Seniors made an unprecedented profit at the Halloween Carnival, and struggled stubbornly for privileges. Juniors successfully operated the concession stand, and new students were initiated into our way of life. Yes, it's a great world-BHS, 1958, Dig those crazy bermudas!

Each class works hard through their four years at Butler High School to finance their Senior Trip. To reach this goal, each class is spon- sored by two faculty members that have the responsibility of putting the wheels of the class in motion. As the class progresses, they are given more and better projects. The first task the class undertakes is the Freshman ice- cream social. The Sophomores learn to man- age the coat check at ballgames. The con- cessions, magazine sales, and the Junior Play boost the Junior's treasury. Seniors use knowl edge gained from previous years to make a success of their paper drive, chilli suppers, and the Senior Play. All of the classes and activities profit from the annual Halloween Festival. Along with making money, students learn business methods and gain poise and self- confidence from their experiences. Through their teamwork as a class, they serve the school and the community. Man alive! ! Freshmen may be small, but they can really make a success of the spring ice- cream social, their first class project. Fresh- men: Dwanna Miller, Marlene Kessler, Jerry Wilson, and Bobby Miller take time out for some of that delicious homemade ice-cream. Good Morning, the Juniors are having their annual magazine sale. This is a list of the top magazines we're selling. Julie Smith and Ron Ault are testing their sales techniques on Bob Nelson. Julie sold the most magazines in the class campaign, and Ron was the runner-up. Another Saturday, another paper drive. Sen- iors: Kay Bacon, Jim Husted, and Dennis Strock find that paper drives can be more fun than work. These drives are held approx- imately once a month, and the class works as a team from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. to eam money for their senior trip.
