WE HONOR OUR MOTHERS AND OUR FATHERS We, the Senior Class of '59, dedicate this Hall Light to you, our parents. Perhaps by dedicating this book to you, we can in some small way repay you for all the time, love, and understanding you have given us. You have unselfishly guided us through our most formative years and it has been through your efforts and sacrifices that we have reached our first goal. We realize that we will more fully understand and appreciate all you have done when in the future we endeavor to provide for our children the advantages you have given us. We only hope we will be able to work untiringly and devotedly as you have. 5 rfdmCvU faatitot, Many long hours are put forth by our administration to quide us toward a better way of living and a greater understanding of society.

BOARD OF EDUCATION A board of education has great responsibility in the fields of finance, building, fuel, and other various activities in a high school such as ours. This past year our Board has shown much interest and effort. This can truly be called a year of progress. OUR SECRETARY Mrs. Effie Yattoni, our office secretary, has many details to attend to each day. It has been a comfort this past year to know that there was someone who would quietly and efficiently take care of every one of them. We extend our sincere thanks to Effie. Mrs. Effie Yattoni Left to right: Anna Marie Terando, assistant secretary; Marilynn Bolelli, assistant librarian; Pat Smith and Kathy Riva, assistant secretaries. PRINCIPAL In just a few more days commencement exercises will be held for the class of 1959. Many times you graduates will look back in retrospect on the past four years. In these years of automation, will you have the proper background of training to compete with others? Four years ago you entered high school with a determination to prepare yourself for the future. Those that did not have the parental influence or the proper motivation fell by the wayside. Congratulations are due those of you who continued and will soon be receiving your diplomas. Many of you are planning to include college in your education. Our hope is that we have been some help to you in furthering your education. Good luck to all of you in whatever plans you have for the future. VIRGIL W. BINGMAII ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL With the tremendous increase in the cost of education, students and parents of students should be brought to realize that an aimless program is a great waste of time and a greater waste of money which they can not afford. Better school guidance could help place the individual in the field where his abilities and likes would make for more interest and success. The student could then be offered a greater challenge in both the theoretical and physical aspects of education and the results would be more thorough understanding and greater accomplishment.

Week, April 5-11, by presenting the faculty with roses, selling roses, dress-up day, attending church and doing assigned duties at home. The first project of the year was a Hobo Day which was followed by a pancake-sausage supper which was given for the first time. It proved to be a big success. Selling Christmas cards and stationery is a job also taken on by the members. Next came the biggest event of the year, the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet with Penny Anderson as speaker. Christmas finds the girls busily engaged in making cookies, preparing packages for old people homes, which were distributed by carolers; making tray covers and favors for Pleasant View Home, Hass- 40 ley's Health Haven and St. Margaret's hospital. Early in the spring the girls presented their annual style show which gives some experience in modeling. This year a large number of girls attended both the rally and the House of Delegates meetings held at different schools in the section. Election of officers, followed by installation, climaxed the official meetings of the year. The girls have planned a trip to Moose-heart on June 6th as their annual trip this year.
