jfiUTlmtrti In choosing the theme for the 1953 HUTTLESTONIAN, the yearbook staff considered and reconsidered for many long hours the several possible choices. We finally decided upon athletics, for a number of reasons. First, athletics play a large part in high school education, because athletics are a source of recreation, as well as of physical development. Second, a good deal of the fun of being a high school student is cheering at the games, sharing a victory with the team, or watching the grimy, mud- spattered football team trudge, victorious, from the field. Third, we believe that Fairhaven High School upholds the ancient Greek principle of “a sound mind in a sound body” by placing stress on participation in physical educa¬ tion, in addition to the all-important academic pursuits. Needless to say, in dedicating the 1958 HUTTLESTONIAN, we could think of no more appropriate or deserving person than Mr. Melvin Entin, who, as head of the Athletic Department of Fairhaven High for many years, has been a source of inspiration and enormous help to both athletes and students. We hope that our yearbook, in emphasizing athletics, does not neglect the academic side of our high school careers, for in these days when our country finds herself in an intellectual and scientific race with the other nations of the world, education is of vital importance to each of us, if we are to keep America strong. Consequently, then, the aim of the 1958 HUTTLESTONIAN is to give a complete and interesting depiction of daily life at Fairhaven High School. Dana A. Greenfield, ’58 Editor-in-Chief

ffrrfaiT A BALLAD FOR ’58 (With apologies to “Casey at the Bat”) It looked extremely rocky for us Freshmen on that day Beginning tasks of learning, with just four years to play That game of knowledge which it seemed we’d never win, With all the homework, themes, and rules to become expert in. A straggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest To carry high that torch of hope with fortitude and zest. For thus we thought: if other groups have brought to our school fame, Surely, good old ’58 could easily do the same. Thus onward we fought, in our mind all the plays — Integrity, health, and ambition-filled days; And we soon found much fun in all that we struck — New friends, sports, dances — we surely had luck. Then came Senior year, the last spurt in the game, With thoughts of tomorrow — misfortune or fame. But we shall not strike out in the great game of life; With the knowledge we’ve gained, we can win any strife. So these gilded pages where our brief four years dwell Shall capture our joys and our sorrows as well. Whose fine golden hours which have now slipped away Shall guide us through life with success and fair play. Therefore, here in June when the sun shines so bright, Where the orchestra’s playing and where hearts are light, And where friendly people their good wishes shout, To that world strange and beckoning, ’58 now moves out. Jean Alden, ’58 Associate Editor
