S--5 We returned with high hopes for the short time ahead. Overioyed seniors ran around with college ac- ceptances in their hands. Our Town, the first all school play, and Macbeth came off without hitches, as had the year's previous pro- ductions: Don Quixote, and Death Takes a Holiday. Leaves and fiowers finally broke the spell of the linger- ing winter, and spring sports started in earnest. ,- - 1.4: ' Zi .al X23 . George School came through it all, however, with no lives lost, but the measles played havoc with our winter sports schedules. Finally spring seemed to be in the air, but snow arrived simultaneously with the season. Un- fortunately, the dinner dance was called oft, and we wondered if the year as a whole had been iinxed. Spring vacation was enioyable but all too short. Commencement is finally here! The class of '58 will go out to college and the world. In re- viewing the year, we can look back on the hard luck of sickness and weather, but we also can remember the many good things, the subiects we have mastered, the sports we have played in, and, above all, the friends we have made. The class of '58 will never forget George School and their Senior year here, and George School will never forget '58l

The new freshman soon became a part of George School life, and the brisk tall quickly passed as we occupied our- selves with books, sports and social lite. Mid-year exams came and went, the long stretch to Spring Vacation loomed ahead, but it was hlled up with classes, winter sports, and general bull QMr. Streetz won the awardj. Snow came in February and left halt the school stranded at home, while the other halt huddled to ether and attended classes in Main.
