This date terminated four wonderful fun-packed years for the sev- enteen members of the 1958 Senior Class. These four years began August 30, 1954. Here is a partial History of the Class of 58 . Our Freshman class. which was com- posed of thirty-nine members was the largest in the Senior High. Mrs. Garriott and Mr. Raisor were our sponsor-teachers. The class was well represented in several activities. In the sports field we had ten boys: in band. five boys. The Morton Memor- ial Choir was strengthened by eleven of our members while five were in dancing classes. Providing the music for the dancers was the Dance Band which sported two of our boys. The first semester of our Sophomore year saw us with thirty-two members. Six of our Class won places on the varsity football team, five on the varsity basketball squad, and four on the track team. We were still well represented in the musical department. Eleven of our girls joined 4-H and two boys joined Art Club. The National Honor Society also held two classmates in membership. So We stood at the mid-way mark of our High School careers. A fast summer passed and suddenly we were Juniors, with new sponsors, Mrs. Wogerman and Mr. Brewer. We had lost several classmates along the way and we now stood only twenty-one strong. Members of our class participated in al- most every school activity, music, sports, dancing, the various clubs, and the Christ- mas play. Then the biggest event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, and the honor of dec- orating the gym for the occasion, came to the scene. We set to work determined to make it one of the most beautiful Proms ever Wit- nessed at the school. If we didn't make it, we at least came pretty close. We made use of everything, even a couple of trees which mys- teriously materialized from nowhere. Another summer passed. August 26, 1957, that day we entered the home stretch of the four year course. We had lost none of the twenty-one of the previous year, but four were to leave before the school year was over. The first big event of our Senior year was the change from football to baseball as an autumn sport. The team did as well as could be expected for its first try. The Homecoming Dance, at which We were guests of the Morton Alumni, gave us a chance to ren-ew old friendships and to make new ones. Then came the time to elect class offi- cers. When votes were counted the results were as follows: Frank Strother, President, David Goins, Vice-Presidentg Esther McCloud, Secretary, and James Smith, Treasurer. December 7 : The Senior Christmas Shop- ping at Indianapolis, gave us a chance to get together a few gifts to take along on the second Christmas Vacation from December 21-29. Senior Class History April 3: Under the direction of Mr. Vernon B. Craig, who also served as make-up artist, the senior class presented a murder mystery entitled The Skull . The five weeks required to prepare the play were very enjoy- able and we shall remember them a long time. May 18: The Baccalaureate service in Lincoln Hall brought back memories of the Home which we shall never forget. The choir performed beautifully as usual. May 192 Senior Banquet: Mr. and Mrs. Cortner were our hosts at a delicious dinner. May 20: On Award Day we were re- warded for our efforts and contributions during the year. May 222 The J unior-Senior Prom, at which we were the guests of the Junior Class, will live forever in our memories of Morton. We wish to congratulate the Junior class on the beautiful decorating job and to thank them for a wonderful evening. May 23: Senior Day, the day before graduation, we finished our packing and said good-by to our various friends. May 24: Commencement, this day we would remember more than any other at Mor- ton Memorial. Sitting on the stage watching the underclassmen, we wondered if they would make the same mistakes we did, and if we would make the same as last years gradu- ates. We have enjoyed living these past four years very much. We hope you enjoy this brief outline of them. In a few short days we shall be leaving this campus and we would like to thank everyone who has made our life here enjoy- able and those who have given us some of the most pleasant memories of our lives.

Kneeling: Donald Bragdon, Student Manager, Frank Strother, Sam Frye, Larry Rupp Ralph Basketball Curtis, and Keith Decker, Student Manager. Standing: Mr. Tiefel, Assistant Coach, Jim Woods, Frank Oldham, Daniel Beard, Donald Buckley, Bill Paige, and Mr. Brewer, Coach.

They came back, however, to gain the only victory of the year by winning over Sandusky by a score of 68-49. The Tigers lost the next four games in a row before playing a close game which they lost to the Manilla Owls by a margin of four points. From that game until Christmas they lost the next three games.

Following the tourney the Tigers were still unable to break their losing streak and lost the next eight games which brought the record for the season to 18 losses and one win. Despite their losses, their cooperative spirit in playing together has laid the foun- dation for a good varsity team next year. SECOND TEAM HE MORTON Kits had a hard time this year winning only two and losing sixteen.

There are thirty-seven girls enrolled in baking and clothing projects this year. The highlight of the year comes on Achievement Day, when every girl exhibits her finished products. The exhibits are judged and the girls receiv-e ribbons and cash prizes for their places. The adult leaders are Mrs. Lucile Guyatt and Mrs. Mabel Small. ART CLUB RT CLUB, directed by Miss Velma Knowles, is well known on the Morton campus for the outstanding projects com- pleted each year. The students usually assist with the scenery and props for the Christmas and Senior plays and the dance revue, and ar- range the corridor display cases during the year. Individual projects include drawing, painting, ceramics, metal enameling, and other crafts. A special project this year was another Christmas window which resembled stained glass, to accompany the window made last year. Clubs DRAMATICS ORTON'S Senior Thespians made drama- tic history this year when they presented The Skull , a mystery comedy drama that gave the audience a sense of participation as various spooky characters and sounds origi- nated in the audience. The play, directed by Mr. Vernon Craig, was outstanding in the wonderful sense of timing between sound effects and action on stage. Make-up and characterization were also note-worthy. MORTON ECHO HE MORTON Echo Staff includes stu- dents who write stories and articles for the Home Journal which is published in the Home print shop. These students are to be congratulated for the fine work done on the Journals this year. The Echo is under the guidance of Mrs. Rhessa Post, of the Morton English Department.

Among these are a journey to Lake Manitou near Rochester, Indiana, and a trip to Cincinnati's Coney Island. The year would not be complete without some dances. Special occasion dances held during the year were the Christmas dance, New Year's dance, Valentine dance and, the most formal of them all, the Junior-Senior Prom.

It is also equipped with a pool room, large gym- nasium, dancing room, visiting room, and the club meeting room upstairs. Townhall is en- joyed by students of all ages. The Student Store is probably the most outstanding part of Townhall. It has a soda fountain and booths that are equal to any other in usefulness and style. One can buy candy, gum, ice cream, pop, and pop corn at the counter in the front. In the back room, cosmetics. trinkets. and many other things are sold.

CHRISTMAS VACATION OR THE past two years, the students have had the opportunity for a Christ- mas vacation in the home of a relative, friend, or Legionnaire. On the evening before the students left for their Christmas vacation, they attended a Christmas Cantata which was ably directed by Mrs. Fred Wright. After the Cantata, Santa Claus came and presented everyone with a gift, then the senior boys went caroling on the Home campus. Then came the exciting day when the students prepared to leave for a week of pleasure and relaxation. Homecoming was a happy event. It was celebrated with a movie at Lincoln Hall, then the traditional New Year's Eve dance was held on the following evening. SUMMER CAMP URING the summer the Home Camp is opened for the children who spend their vacations at the Home. They have many ac- tivities such as fishing, swimming, hiking in the woods, volleyball, baseball, and various other activities in which they may partici- pate. The camp was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Skinner last summer. Summer Camp Division Life IVISION life is very important to the stu- dents of Morton Memorial. The division is where they live, work, spend their leisure time, and do their studies. The students are helped and guided by their governess, or a governor and governess. These people do an excellent job in look- ing after the students in their division. They help the new students adjust to a normal div- ision life. All divisions on the campus are provided with a television set, radio, and a record player for the enjoyment of the students. The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary sponsor the divisions.
