Class History A dozen years ago the class of ’58 was entering kindergarten. We, the five-year olds of 1945, were living in an age that was just beginning to push against the limits ot space. We sarly picked up the jargon of jet engines and supersonic speeds. We discarded cowboy hats for space helmets and ray guns. We went through a war and a half, and felt the effects of earth shaking events. Then came 1954, and life for us really took on a fourth or fifth dimension. We were freshmen in Roosevelt School. Long we had regarded upperclassmen with awe. Now at last we were on the periphery of their world. We acquired new sponsors-Miss Pearle Baxter and Mr. Roderick Fraser. We went to dime dances and fun nights. In the spring of 1955, we attended our first formal dance. The sophomore year spelled out high school. After the formal initiation at the Sophomore Reception we were strictly on our own. We gave the Christmas Party, Frosty Frolic, and there was no doubt in our mind as to its success, As juniors we lost Sponsor Fraser and acquired Sponsor Gus’ Go sseaux from Fenton High School. We nominated and elected Judy Martin to the Homecoming queenship. We hosted the sophomores at the annual reception. We held a picnic at Edgewater Park, and we scheduled a rare number of 'at homes’. Now we are seniors, and shortly we shall be alumni. Our record stands: a few scholars, a few athletes, a few singers, a few dancers. Taken by and large we are regulars. Once again we elected the Homecoming queen-Carolyn Wilson. We have had dances. We have been to New York.We had a prom. We're graduating. We're ready to look over the Age of Science, and perhaps, we’ll stake out claims on the moon.
