There will be a lot of other times we will remember, not as a distinct date on the social calendar but as a time or a phase. We'll recall the new students arriving and the old ones departing and, whether we 're nostalgic or curious, we'll remember because it was a break in the routine of school days. We'll recall the test or term paper that said in bright red pencil at the top A - very good! and we vowed that we would frame that one. Maybe some of us didl And the dance crazes and the clothing fads and the number of times that we have cried out in forlorn tones, Me? I wasn't saying a word! I'm just sitting here. How I wish that we could fold memories up and put them away in a safe place where they can't be crowded out by the new experiences of college or marriage or career. Some- day I should like to take the memories out and look at them, relive them a little per- haps. What a disappointment to find the memories less glorious in the bright light of tomorrow than they are in the soft, fading glow of today. ,Nlyflf fe Remember Wishing You the Very Best GUDITH HARDWARE

The Junior Play was a roaring success. Well, a success anyway. Shy Guy was performed with such zest that the cast won the unanimous accolade of their fellow classmates and the respect of all the others who came to see it, for a job well done. Probably the ultimate achievement of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom, which we sponsored. Rhapsody In Blue was the finished product of hours of careful planning and admirable co-operation. The combined efforts of the Junior class and the Junior mothers made it a lovely evening, a night to remember and amemory to cherish, Our float this year was a lovely Swan-drawn affair. It will suffice to say that again we did not win first prize. Alas, who says it's the little things that count? After all we had more important things to do, and anyway, we will win next year for sure. And now we are Seniors and Senioritas. Becoming a Senior was like the dawn of a new day and in a way a little frightening - the end of the beginning, beginning of the end - or what. But the Senior year tumed out to be the best of all. Lots of work and responsibility. But after all this is preparation for the big show - for life - and a student doesn't learn to face it by playing tiddley-winks and letting the few work for the many. There are innumerable lessons to be learned in the Senior year, and the only way one can acquire the knowledge is by seeking it. This year we struggle with money problems and decisions conceming class colors and motto and a uniform point system. We do our part at the concessions and. cheer like mad at the athletic games. We have problems and crises with our chili dinners and fish frys, and we leam that things don't care of themselves. The show must go on. And on the play went. A mystery called The Skeleton Walks and again the play cast did a job for which we were all proud and grateful. We have a lot of laughs with our Car Smash. In fact, -we have a lot of laughs at every class activity and somehow feel a little richer for having derived so much en- joyment from the company of our classmates. At the end of the year we would like to send a great big thank-you card to our- selves. Or rather to our class as a way of saying Thanks for the fun and for experience and for the wealth of memories you have given us. Thanks for the many intangible hidden things which have made us a class, and maybe made each of us a little hap- pier at times to be a member of this class, a friend - an insider - maybe the word is Senior, but for the gift which was never given nor taken, but rather exchanged, thanks. Best Wishes to the Class of '58 BENDLES S

If guy!! Left to right: Jackie Thompson, Nancy Graham, Marilyn Andrews, Melinda Whipple, Jim Truxton, Larry Madison, Sandy MacKenzie, Julie Tucker, John Miller, Bill Sterling, Pat Burke, Fred Hastings Ned Schwartz, Gilbert Hastings, Pat O'Day, Cora Hastings, Mary Walz, Miss Corwin, Bob Malotte, Mr. Danbury. Missing: Jackie Watson, Gloria Patterson. Shy Guy, a comedy in three acts by Paul McCoy, was presented by the Junior Class on May 9 and 10, 1957 under the direction of Mr. Ralph English. Fred Hastings is spending more money than his parents believe he is earning. His mother, Cora, is planning a birthday party for his girl, Nancy, but when two strangers, Gloria Patterson and Lois Corwin, appear, the plot thickens. Fred is doomed, his job as a model for Glamour Girl Cosmetics is about to be revealed. But his friend, Larry Madison, insists everything be left to him. Gilbert Hastings, Fred's father, is turrous when he learns of Fred's modeling job. Nancy isn't sure how she feels about it, Julie Tucker's chief concern is being able to keep the puppy Larry has bought for her on the installment plan. Then Melinda Whipple, a wiry bundle of energy ot eignty, appears. The birthday party turns out to be something slightly less than an open-house affair, with a Mr. Danbury looking for television talent, Bill Sterling looking for his girl, and Melinda Whipple looking for enough space to make a touchdown in football.
