Our senior play, Bottoms Up! directed by Mr. Bert Pierce, revealed our in- dividuality in its uniqueness-center staging. A New England Spinster, A Cup of Tea, and There's Money in Witchcraft were the three one-act plays we presented while juniors under the direction of Mr. joseph Axup. Members of the class of 1958 in the Student Council instigated a Coast Counties Associated Student Councils meeting here, the first such meeting held at Gonzales High in the organizations eleven year history. We remember, also, dancing on a starry-eyed night in the Garden of Eden, the junior prom. And we smile as we think of Twirp Week when undaunted girls even climbed to the roof tops to catch their boys. We gave the seniors a banquet at the Mark Thomas' Inn in Monterey when we were juniors, and this year the juniors hosted us at the San Carlos Hotel. The 1958 March of Dimes Pie Auction sponsored by our class took in over sixty dollars, three times as much as was collected the previous year. Then there were the knock-down drag-out fights to hold the senior benches, which we participated in as attacking juniors one year and as defending seniors the next. Seeing Around the World in Eighty Days highlighted the senior trip to San Francisco. Sunburns and bloodshot eyes were the result of the ditch day at Paraiso Park. Yes, we'll remember the things we've done, the fun we've had, and the studying we should have done. But most of all we'll remember Gonzales High and the friendships we've made. And now, starting down another path, into the wide, wide world, farewell, Goniniles High, and farewell, friends . . . till we meet again. . . . jo Anne Franscioni, treasurer, Tony Olivas
