Class of '58 Ends Four Year Plan Class of 1958 Enters P. H. S. ln September of 1954, a new and vigorous freshman class, 200 strong, entered Pleasantville High School. They proved themselves to be hardy, being the first class to survive commuting from their future alma mater to the junior High School. After finding their class rooms, meeting new friends, and joining in the various activities, the freshmen elected their class officers. Serving as leaders in the first difficult year were: john Platte, presidentg Pete Seely, vice-president, Mae Lanning, secretary, and julia Hamilton as treasurer. The class established freshman forums and put on a class party. Profitable Stairway to the Stars Presented The junior year was just as busy but of a more serious vein for the enterprising class of 1958. Many juniors attended the Katonah Conference and struggled through College Board Exams to help prepare themselves for the college entrance competition they would face as seniors. Yet all was not worry and study. The first profitable junior Prom, Stairway to the Stars, was presented. The superbly acted play, lim a Fool, directed by Leonard Charney, saw jan Evans and Carol Cun- ningham win awards for their performances. The guiding stars for this year were: Sam Cill, presi- dent, john Driscoll, vice-president, Diane Strang, secretary, and Barbara Spaulding, treasurer. Nine members of the class were honored by the Nation- al Honor Society at a very impressive ceremony. Sophomores stage The Man in the Bowl.er Hat A much more confident group entered the high school to commence their second year. Very busy as sophomores, they staged a dance, The Cum- drop Hop, and a one-act play, The Man in the Bowler Hat,', directed successfully by Donna Sage. Chosen to lead them through this fun-filled year were: john Driscoll, presidentg Bob Horning, vice- president, Mae Lanning, secretaryg and julia Ham- ilton, again treasurer. Halloween House a Huge Success September, 1957 set in motion a year of per- petual activity. Tests and more tests, but still time out for a tremendously successful Halloween House. Again these spirited seniors showed their class interest, co-operation, and enthusiasm on that haunted night. A winning footall team and pre- parations for Commencement Week added a flavor of excitement, while conferences with Mr. Hall brought them back to earth and future plans. The class officers for this final and most important year were: jay Shepherd, president, john Driscoll, vice-president, Ruth Evers, secretaryg and Robin Smith, treasurer. Now, as-this final edition goes to press, we see the class of 1958 eagerly step forward to meet the opportunities and responsibilities of an await- ing and challenging world. By their record in the past, ,we know they will always do their very best in the future.
