In assembly, each of us students watched very closely when our first two tro- phies were presented to N111 Stelietee und the sehool.

But the biggest attraction seemed to be the fight scene in the plax' between Vince Segal and Bill Craf- ton. Act V. scene i. At last we were the stars of our own show! The class was again directed by jerry Xliller, and this time 'lim Arena was at his side. Bettv Ann Smith and Pat Bruccoleri were the writers of the scripts. Kathy Fitz-Xlaurice was our financier, and Nancy Duthie wrote the last part of our class history. Nlr. llobert Steele produced the showg he seemed to have a won- derful time working with us. Act V, scene ii. Again our teams gave Ewing a big honor. XYe had the privilege of receiving the first football trophy in the history of the school. We defeated all the city schools to be- come the proud owners of the city trophy, lt seemed that neither the team or the cheerlead- ers went home the same way they came-most were slightly wet! ixlff V, scene iii. Mr. Lacy again took over the direction of our class play, Father of the Bride , presented on December 6 and 7, 1957. Lew Littman, Gail Coates, and Ellen Clark had top billings for this big scene. XYe were very happy to break four records in presenting this play. XYe had the largest patron list, made the most profit, had the largest attendance for one night. and had the largest over-all attendance. Vfe also were the first class to hold an after- noon matinee for the Alunior lligh students. Art. V. .s'r'eue ir.
