Farrar, BOYS' AND GIRLS' STATE Early Sunday morning, july 14, 1957, an excited group of Glass students left for a week at Boys' and Girls' State at V.l'.l., Blacksburg, Virginia. These students had been chosen at the end of their Junior Year to participate in this governmental program with students from every high school in Virginia, who were also elected for their outstanding qualities. The jam-packed week was one never to be forgotten and was considered by everyone to be one of the most wonderful experiences of his life. To these delegates, up at break-of-dawn, exer- cise for the boys, inspection, chapel assembly, city sessions, State politics, elections, athletics and recreation, the Governorls Ball, and Burrus Hall assemblies at night were familiar events. UVVelre from Draper, mighty mighty Draper . . . , UGO to your left, your right, your left . . .,', S-T-U-A-R-T, and the many other chants helped to build the State's proud spirit into a bond, uniting all who participated. Every boy and girl who attends this American Legion sponsored project holds an office which can be anything from Governor to the City jailer! The E. C. Glass delegation was particularly proud to have two of their group win outstanding positions. Out of 500 fboys, John Mott Robert- son was elected Lt. Governor, the second highest office in Boys' State. Janet Duke was chosen by the girls in her city to be Mayor, the top city office, and in return, she led Draper City to the coveted honor of being chosen Model City of Girls, State. Other Glass students who won significant offices are: Leyburn Mosby, Assistant justice of the Supreme Court and Clerk of the House of Delegates, Wylie Cooke, Com'monwealth's Attorney, Tim Hapgood and H. C. Thaxton, Delegates to the House of Delegates, Barbara Harris, Clerk of the Senate, Betsy Tweedy, Senator, and Jane Baber, Floor Leader of the House of Delegates. f22l

SENIOR COUNCIL Summer vacation having ended, the Seniors of 1958 returned to Glass bound and determined to be the best class that this school has ever produced. They could well be proud because they are the first class to complete five years in the new high school. In the fall each senior homeroom elected representatives to the Senior Council, which began collecting the senior budget, planning for Senior Day and ordering personalized cards. On November eighth the long awaited Senior Day arrived. The event was highlighted by an excellent assembly and the usual antics of the joyous seniors. Although the parade and game were rained out, the spirit of the day was not affected. After midyear the council began planning the senior banquet and dance, and from all the re- marks, it was a wonderful addition to the senior year. The council was faced with the usual tasks that must precede the final days at Glass: measur- ing for caps and gowns, ordering of commencement announcements, planning commencement ex- ercises and dance, and deciding upon the Senior Class gift to the school. The class of '58 has many assets about which they can boast. Approximately one hundred students Qwhich is one third of the classj have averages over ninety. For this accomplishment and many other awards and honors presented its members, the Senior class, can be proud. Many unforgettable times were shared by the Seniors, but t-he accomplishments could never have been possible without the guidance given by the sponsors-Miss Mary lVare and Mr. Thomas Johnson. l21l
