Mrs. Skomski— She Brings Out the Best in Us Mrs. Skomski is somewhat of an unsung heroine around Hazel Park High School. She has done more than her share around this school in her past 20 years of teaching Physical Education on and off, but few people recognize this fact. Mrs. Skomski was the original founder of Vikettes in the fall of 1957. She has coached many sports and clubs including girl's tennis, basketball, the Swan Club, the fencing team, and this year she even took on the boy's swimming team. She is recognized as being one of the better physical education teachers in the area.She is a total disciplinarian; she expects quality and dedication in whatever is being done, she expects the best. It is this quality that brings out the best in us. Because she has gone above and beyond the normal demands of a teacher, we are dedicating this year's yearbook to Mrs. Donna Skomski.

Conroy M. Haefner J. Davids One of the most exciting times of the school year is the annual Field Day activities. This was the twenty-first Home- coming for the queens and the fourth for the kings. We started out with Spirit Week, which ran from October 25-29. On Monday each class participated in building a monument of their class spirit on the Common walls, where during lunch the classes gathered to show their spirit and excitement. Also it was hat day. On Tuesday everyone, almost everyone, brought a stuffed animal and carried it around all day. Wednesday was girl hush day, and each girl wore a paper football. If they were caught talking to a boy or girl, that person could take their football. However that night, the girl's caught up on all their screaming and yelling at the annual Powder Puff football game. It was a tuff game with the undergrads defeating the seniors 6-0. In the midst of all the yelling was the introduction of the Homecoming Honies. 6
