The many sports, activities, and classes we took part in will long be among our favorite memories. Football season with its eager crowds, cheerleaders, brisk cold weather, and victory dances in the boys' gym, those long but fun filled bus trips to away games, our band's halftime shows, homecoming and mum corsages, and most of all, our dream team, Friday rallies, and noon parades will always be a part of any Wash- ington High graduate. The Christmas Season was made even more ioyous as we found ourselves dancing to the music of big- name bands at the Junior Woman's Club, Y-Teen, and Hi-Y formals. Every other Friday, a fine Hi-Times would tell us of the latest victories of the varsity debate team and Speech De- partment, who were constantly bringing more honors to Wash- ington High as they climaxed a banner year in all area speech tournaments. Our basketball season under our fine new coach, Bob Greenwood, was the best ever registered at Washington High. ln early January, the twenty candidates nominated by their fellow seniors and classmates for the two honors of Miss Massillonian and Outstanding Senior Boy were an- nounced. Seniors also voted forthe teacher they felt would be a worthy dedicatee of the '59 Massillonian. The wonderful chapel where each of the Miss Massillonian candidates were interviewed before a panel of judges was one of the highlights of the year. The choir presented their annual operetta in February, which this year was the hit musical Oklahoma! Forty-six seniors were thrilled to receive letters announcing their induction into National Honor Society on, ironically, Friday, March 13. The Student Council's Kouncil Kapers was entitled The Jack Below Parr Show, and was a hilarious take-off on the television show. Tiger Swing Band members will remember their four day trip and halftime per- formance for Chicago's All-Star Football Game and the Mili- tary Ball, with its oriental setting given in their honor. The concluding months featured various club's field trips, many banquets, the Choral Floral Ball at the Onesto Hotel, the Jr.-Sr.-Prom, called Sayonara fwhich sadly means Goodbyel held at Myers Lake, exams, and scholarships, Honor Chapel, the Annual Board autograph dance, beautiful Senior Chapel, the all night party and commencement at Tiger Stadium brought to a sad but successful close the school year 1958-59. Graduation - a symbol of achievement. U-1-Sb Mrs. Barnett supervises the placement of lockers for the coming year. This ritual symbolizes the end of three months of freedom. ld. Student Council advisers, Miss Smith and Mrs. Sinnock, in the finale to the Student Council's Beat McKinley Chapel, danced and led the student body in hilarious cheering.
