Senior Ball Dancing to the music of George Linder’s Band. Coronation of the King, Pete Cunningham, and Queen, Eileen Hamilton. AS each couple entered and walked down the red-carpeted walk leading to the dance floor, it gave one the feeling of entering a grand ballroom. With chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and shields hanging on the walls and court jesters to amuse you, it gave the impres- sion of a 19th century affair and so it was, as this 1958 Senior dance was called the Corona- tion Ball. The Queen's coach represented the always- well-attended refreshment stand. As in years before, this year's Senior Ball was a huge success with a special attraction— added publicity. Life Magazine photographers took pictures for a future lay-out of Hempstead High’s goings-on. To sum it up, it was just a marvelous evening for all. This year’s co-chairmen of the affair were Lynda Drum and Mary Lou Albright, who did a magnificent job with the help of their co-workers. The court attendants. B. Davidson and K. Beck doing the lindy.

Senior Executive Council THIS year in May the Junior Class elected representatives from its history classes for the Senior Executive Council. Previously the elec- tions had been made from the American History classes at the beginning of the school year. The main functions performed by the Council were: solving problems which concerned the Senior Class; proposing a schedule of activities for the entire year; making decisions concerning the Senior Class color, flower and motto. The rep- resentatives were placed in one homeroom where they were able to discuss matters that dealt with the organization of the Senior Class in any way. In each American History class there was a representative from the council. In this way, all students were informed, and were given an accurate account of the decisions made and voted upon by the Council. The officers accepted their positions with great determination to make the Senior Executive Council a worthwhile organization to the Senior Class. This year's officers were as follows: Barry Davidson served as president; Lynn Peurschner as vice-president; Ralph Campanella as treas- urer; Jerry Quigley as secretary. Under the ex- cellent guidance of Mr. Lints, much was achieved and the Council succeeded in many ways in fulfilling its obligations to the seniors. A great deal of planning was done for the Senior Ball, which turned out to be one of the most spectacular events of the year. Its theme was that of “The Coronation Ball. Other events that were undertaken by the Council were the Senior-Frosh Day, and Senior Week. Every senior looked forward with much eagerness to the day he was allowed special privileges concerning his dress and behavior. Old Clothes Day, super- vized by the Council, was indeed a day packed with fun and much excitement never to be for- gotten by the students. The Council has always done a magnificent job of guiding the Senior Class through its many problems, and this year was by no means any exception. Every obstacle that the seniors had to face was handled with great ingenuity and capability by the Council. Row I, left to right G. Guigley, L. Puersch- ner, E. Giusto, A. Rosen- berg, S.
