SENIOR CLASS HI TORY As we walk onto the stage of Jamestown High School for the last time on our graduation day this June, our minds will be full of the memories of our three years spent here. We shall always remember a day in September, 1956, when our class met as a group for the first time. It was the last sophomore class Mr. Merton P. Corwin, principal of J.H.S., would greet, since he was going to retire in June, 1957. The Class of 1959 soon accustomed itself to the high school and began to look for capable leaders to head the class in its organization. Those chosen were: President ................ ........ A nthony Certo Vice President ....... .......... T homas Rigoli Secretary .................... ....... P hyllis Stenander Treasurer ......... . .................... Thomas Triscari Keeper of Properties ................ Kenneth Beatty Historian ...,.................. Brenda Lee Bloomquist We soon had our banner of red and white, the class colors, with an arrangement of the class flower, the red rose, and the school emblem placed on it. The motto we chose was Open the door and go beyond. One of the traditional customs for the sophomore classes is the Sophomore Reception. It is held to acquaint parents and interested citizens with the school and the teachers. Our Sophomore Recep- tion in November was highlighted by the induc- tion of candidates for Honor Society. In the spring we competed against the juniors and seniors for first place in Broadway on Second Street . Our class came in a proud second with the play The End of the Dance, directed by Mr. Gordon Swanson. We remember how much more confident we felt as juniors. The school was no longer a stranger' to us. To begin our junior year, we voted for officers by using automatic voting machines for the first time. The following were elected: President ................................ Thomas Rigoli Vice President .................... William Tangalos Secretary .................... ...... R enetta Larson Treasurer .............................. Norman Olson Keeper of Properties ................ Charles Furman As soon as this was completed, the class took an avid interest in the production of the Junior Class Play, Gramercy Ghost , presented on De- cember 7. Mr. Gordon Swanson directed the cast consisting of Katharine Calabrese, Thomas Rigoli, Curtis Johnson, Robert Carlson, and many others. Much to the surprise of the Class of 1958, but not to us, we won first place in both Broadway on Second Street and the Charles E. Hall Debate! Both of the events are usually won by the more experienced seniors. Our play was titled, The Flight of the Herons . The debate team consisted of Katherine Beckman, Joan Wilkins, and Bruce Carlson. For the first time in J.H.S. history, two for- tunate members of our class went abroad during the summer under the American Field Service Program. They were Christine Anderson and William Tangalos. In the spring the seniors were entertained by the juniors at the luncheon-reception on the J.H.S. lawn and Moving-Up Day. On that day the jun- iors assumed the dignified position of seniors. Last fall when we received our class rings and had 'our class pictures taken, everyone began to feel like a true senior. Later on we were measured for caps and gowns and ordered an- nouncements. In order to have a successful final year at J.H.S., we elected the students best qualified to lead us. The following students were elected to hold offices: President ......................... William Tangalos Vice President ........................ Charles Furman Secretary .................. .......... E thel Goller Treasurer ................................ Curtis Johnson Keeper of Properties ................ Helmut Welker This year, seniors noticed a new member in our class. That student was Owen Johnstone, for- eign exchange student from New Zealand, who has won the friendship of fellow students and teachers. He has been active in many clubs and was a member of the cast for the Senior Class Play, Our Town , presented October 23 in the Merton P. Corwin Auditorium. Our play, successful in all respects, was present- ed before a capacity crowd, and included the fol- lowing members of our class: Thomas Rigoli, Carol Joy Erickson, Anthony Lopriore, June Howting, and Jann Miner. Other projects were the Teddy Wilson Jazz Concerts in April and the Charles E. Hall Debate. The proceeds from the concert will be used to hire a name band for the senior prom and to give a donation to the foreign exchange student fund. With the help of Mr. Meade Anderson and class teachers, the Class of 1959 has had a won- derful stay at Jamestown High School. Most of the credit for our success goes to Mrs. Gladys Krieger, our adviser. Her interest and spirit will always be remembered by the members of the Class of '59. Now we bring to a close our high school careers with a prom, banquet, Class Day and Baccalaure- ate. Long will these memories fill our minds after we have accepted diplomas and become alumni of Jamestown High School. Brenda Lee Bloomquist, Historian.
