OICWOI The play is done, the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter's bell: A moment yet the actor stops, And looks around, to say farewell. The last scene of the Class of '58 has faded out. Our amateur group begin in E.M.H. S. two years ago. After stumbling and groping in the dark with a raw script we have finally marked the successful opening of our new school. Upon entering our brand-new theater we found to our distress a lack of props and bare scenery. Despite all this, we found it to be to our advantage, as not many are privileged to set the fundamental traditions of future citizens. This being the essence of our plot, the class of ,58 can now turn over the lead roles to the uprising stars, as we are now ready to go on to a bigger stage. Actors are sometimes satisfied, but they are forever trying to perfect the role they perform. Since we have associated our- selves with the theater, we, also, are not satisfied and are constantly striving to better ourselves, our school, and our community. As the curtain falls, we will leave the stage as minstrels carrying with us the knowledge gained at E. M. H. S. with the hope of turning into guiding stars on whatever stage of life we may choose. The Olympian, our playbill, has recorded the progress of the past two years. Contained between its covers is the past, the present, and the future. Our productions, assisted by our directive administrators will help this everlasting play to achieve the proud applause of the audience. , I Ns
