Oun. Settion. O ic ul SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Harvey Phillips, Vice President; Evelyn Doerr, Secretary; Linda Yoder, Treasurer; Stephen Yoder, President. Once upon a time there were one hundred and twenty mentally, socially, and physically undeveloped boys and girls--the Class of '58--who ventured into the kingdom of P.H.S. to seek their fortunes. According to the custom of the land these new citizens were im- mediately installed as Freshmen, the lowest, most contemptible class in the kingdom, in a pagan ritual known as initiation. However, the lowly Freshmen were not without representation, for they were per- mitted to elect four able members of their class to serve on the Council which advised the king of P.H.S., Mr. Bcabout. After a year of serfdom all but a few of the initiates were raised to the somewhat nobler rank of Sophomore. They now became more active in govern- mental affairs and in the other activities of the kingdom. Some of the members of the Class of '58 served ably on the basketball, football, and track teams which served as armies to defend the kingdom of P.H.S. and its honor from surrounding kingdoms. Soon it was time for another step upward for the Class of 58--this time to the rank of Junior. As Juniors they elected four officers among whose duties were, in general, to organize the class and manage its affairs, and. especially, to give a Ball at the Palace to which all the Juniors and Seniors were invited--and this they did very well. Then came the day when the Class of 58 became Seniors--a rank which held many responsibilities as well as privileges. New officers were elected in the kingdom and they served capably for the rest of the year. As in previous years many of the Seniors participated in the various activities of the kingdom such as band, choir, Hi-Y, and S.S.S., and they were the first to enjoy membership $n the National Honor Society, which they helped bring to the kingdom. The Class of '58 contributed much of their time and energy to those groups. Finally, through the efforts of patient instructors and four years of hard work, the class of 1958 was graduated with high honors and left the kingdom in further search of their fortunes. 12
