SENIOR CLASS REPORT The class of ’58 began its last year at Hermon High School by electing its officers to serve for the following year. Wayne Hillier was chosen Presi- dent for his fourth year. Bernard Walls is our Vice-President, Peggy Becker—Secretary, and Barbara Haskell—Treasurer. Our class members participated in many varied activities. The first project our class took part in was the annual Magazine Drive of which Peggy Becker served as the General Chairman and Wayne Hillier as captain of the Senior Class. The seniors taking part in the school One-Act Play were Maybelle Hall and Bernard Walls. Vivian Burgess and Beverley Pike were in charge of makeup, Angie Voudoukis—sound effects, Priscilla Hall—prompting, Peggy Becker and Beverley Pike—stage managers. F. H. A.’ers are: Nadine Peary, Barbara Robinson, Carolyn Ellingwood, Maybelle Hall, Ann Kin- ney, Barbara Haskell, Marlene Duplisea, Beverley Pike, Peggy Becker— President, Angie Voudoukis—Historian, Priscilla Hall—Reporter, and Vivian Burgess—Recording Secretary. Barbara Haskell represented H.H.S. in the League Spelling Contest and Peggy Becker was our D.A.R. candidate. Members of the National Honor Society include Bernard Walls, President; Peggy Becker, Vice-President; Barbara Haskell, Secretary- Treasurer; Angie Voudoukis, and Wayne Hillier. We were well repre- sented in sports this year. Our baseball players are: Wayne Hillier, Ber- nard Walls, Allen Appleby, and Paul Tibbetts. Participants in basketball were: Bernard Walls, Wayne Hillier, Priscilla Hall, Beverley Pike, Angie Voudoukis and Peggy Becker. Barbara Haskell served as manager of the girls’ basketball team and Leslie Bates for the boys. Ann Kinney was head cheerleader this year and Vivian Burgess also cheered. Barbara Haskell is the Editor-in-Chief of the “Microphone” with Bernard Walls as Busi- ness Manager; Peggy Becker, Literary Editor; Angeline Voudoukis, Humor Editor; Wayne Hillier, Boys’ Sports Editor; Priscilla Hall, Girls’ Sports Editor; Vivian Burgess, Alumni Editor; Ann Kinney, Exchange Editor, and Irene Mayhew as Yearbook Typist. For the first time at Her- mon High School a Student Safety Council has been organized with Bever- ley Pike as Chairman and Paul Tibbetts as Chairman of the Accident Re- porting and Investigating Committee. Our class sponsored a Christmas Prom which was held December 21, 1957 in the High School Gym. Jimmy Hawes’ Orchestra supplied the music. George Light acted as the General Chairman. Vivian Burgess, Priscilla Hall and Peggy Becker were the Queen candidates and Vivian Burgess was chosen to reign as Queen of the Prom. All in all, the Prom was very beautiful, and everyone enjoyed themselves very much. The class held suppers at the Hermon Parish House and also sold chances on a stuffed toy seal and a wool blanket to earn money for our class trip. Our Christmas Prom made such a hit around school that we decided to join with the Junior Class and have a Junior- Senior Prom, April 5th with Jimmy Hawes providing the music once again. Vivian Burgess, Priscilla Hall, Bernard Walls, and Dana Graves will represent our class as King and Queen candidates. Our one goal for the whole year (other than graduation, of course) was a class trip. We had quite a time deciding where to go, or rather, our treasury had a hard time deciding. Well, we finally decided to spend a weekend in Boston. Everyone was anxious to get going. Our graduation will take place on the evening of June 5th. It seems impossible that any year can fly by as quick- ly as this one has. We all will hate to leave H.H.S. ’though we hate to ad- mit it. Just think—no more studying, detention, getting up at six. But there’s another aspect to this glorious event that casts a frown over all our class members shining faces. We’ll probably have to break down and work sometime. I can’t figure out which is the worse of the two evils. We’ll probably find out soon enough. Our Class Motto, “Knowledge Comes But Wisdom Lingers” will surely show itself evident when the class of ’58 takes its mighty step into this great world we live in.
