r f tsiorg This Is Your Life Tonight our program is going to be a little unusual. Instead of having the life of one person we have the life of a group of people as told by one of that group. This Is Your Life Senior Class of '58. We began our school career in '46, that is, most of us did. Since then we have gained a few members and lost many; but throughout our struggle, we have still maintained our Faithful Few. Oh, yes! 'Tv as a sad but thrilling day when the sobbing infants who today have emerged into the realm of dignity entered Cleveland School. Some mothers accompanied their little darlings, while others strolled timidly into the House of Learning alone. To tell fully the history of the class of '58 would involve a huge undertaking-yes, even the writing of volumes. But I only wish to pass on to you the highlights of many events of our group. From these early days of school, we strived to reach the day when we wouldbecome high school students. Finally, in '54 we entered the ninth grade as freshmen. We all felt a bitof excitement for the four year journey ahead. After our first excite- ment had subsided, we began to getinto the swing ofhigh school life under the watchfuleyes ofMr. George Robison. Although we were rather shy and quite awed by the mighty upper classmen, we soon became adjusted to changing classes and being called Freshmen. We elected our class officers with Donna McDaniel as President, Joyce Kennedy as Vice President, Anita Dillon as Secretary, Bil ly McIntosh as Treasurer, Jerry Sims as Reporter; and then we got to work. With a mixture ofgoodtimes and hard work, the year was a successful one. Before weknew it, the year was completed; and we were now sophomores. When we organizedin the fall of '55, we found thatsix ofour members were missing. We entered with a little more confidence. AgainMr. Robison was our advisor. Helping him with his task were President Jerry Sims, Vice President Billy McIntosh, Secretary Barbara Koontz, and Treasurer Mildred Dillon. Our activities were a bit more numerous this year. We were very proud when three members of our class, Linda Lowery, Billy MeIntosh, and Anita Dillon, were invited to join the Beta Club. Donna McDaniel and Joyce Kennedy went out for cheerleading and were elected. Benny Beeker, Joyce Kennedy, La r ry Wright, and Donna McDaniel lettered in sports. By the end of the year we felt we were really a part of the High School. The first things we noticed when next we met, in the fall of '56, was that we still had twenty-five members and again had Mr. Robison as our advisor. When we returned as juniors, we were very much aware of the responsibility placed upon our shoulders. There were our rings to be ordered, class play to be given, and numerous activities leading up to the all important Junior-Senior Banquet at which we were to be hosts. The class elected Billy McIntosh as President, Donna McDaniel as Vice President, Anita Dillon as Secretary-Treasurer; and we set to work. We had little time for parties as most of our time was taken up with the Junior-Class play Lights Out, magazine sales, and other profit-making activities. Finally the date and place for the banquet were set. On May 3, 1957, we entertained the Seniors with a semi-formal banquet in the Cleveland School cafeteria. Everything was grand, and it will long be remembered by those who attended it. Three more members of our class, Mildred Dillon, Donna McDaniel, and Larry Wright, were initiated into the Beta Club. Six members of our class were selected as marshals with Anita Dillon as chief. In May of '57 we were sorry to see the seniors graduate, but we were glad to be replacing them. Returning for our final year in August, 1957, under the guiding hand of Mrs. Ruby Gulledge, we were fully awareofthe tasks ahead. Finally the goal was being reached. From our class of twenty-two, we chose these officers: President, Donna McDaniel; Vice President, Mildred Di I Ion; Secretary-Treasurer, Jerry Sims;and we dignified (?)seniors went about our duties The chief things accomplished were the class play, publication of THE CLEVANA, and preparation for graduation. We never knew we could work so hard and yet have so much fun in the process. The Junior-Senior was an event that we shall always remember. It was wonderful to be honored in this way. Graduation was upon us before weknew it. This history ends when we receive our diplomas. Our hopes and ambitionsare high as we stand with our faces to the future. We hope that each individual in the class will be able to fit himself into some place of service and usefulness in life. We realize at this commencement time that life has just begun for us and that it is time to grasp all opportunities and to rise to greater and better things. Each individual will write his own future history through his deeds. This I Your Life Senior Class of Cleveland School of '58. ROY BECK Historian
