September brought the opening of school and all the activities that go along with it. The 12A's put on the first big dance of the year; the Sock Hop where Wayne Barlow and Betty Downey were selected as King and Queen. One of the biggest events of the year took place when Governor G. Mennen Williams visited Hazel Park High School to speak on the importance of education. It was a mem- orable event, as this was the first time a governor had been to H. P. H. S. 4 Wayne Barlow and Betty Downey, King and Queen of the Sock Hop.

. . WE LEARNED! Yes, we learned many things during the 1958- '59 school year. Along with homework, we had club meetings, all kinds of sports events, and the numerous other activities that make any teen- ager's high school days complete. In the classrooms we learned how historic events affected our lives today; how to better express ourselves through speaking and writing; the latest in science and mathematics; and we acquired certain basic skills through our shop and home economics classes. Extracurricular activities also played an im- portant role in our education. Whether we actually participated in games or just observed them, the athletic program helped us to learn and practice good sportsmanship. Through class and club meetings we learned the qualities of good leader- ship. Above all, however, we learned the im- portance of getting along with others. Naturally we made mistakes, but we profited by them, rather than be defeated and discour- aged. We came to realize both the happy and sad times of growing up. High school provided us with many invaluable friendships and fond memories which we will cherish in our future years. The many events of this past year recorded on the pages of this yearbook will always serve as a reminder of the many things We Learned.
