Cameraman lerry Vanderliool went along to help locate new satellttes Sputnik l, ll and ol course a little later Explorer l. 1957-1958 Every year on our campus is different, but 1957-1958 went all out to be extraordinary also. ln October Sputnik I began to orbit, and the faculty began to mutter, too. One possible change indirectly attributed to new satellites above us was a change in the April Open House procedure, This year alter a program ot music, the 29 students who had achieved some special distinction as individuals rather than as teams, were presented to the PTA audi- ence, with a summary ot the distinctions each had achieved. The weather was a matter ot interest to all, especially members of the track and baseball squads. Meet alter meet was rained out, and postponed. Bells were held sometimes until the sudden downpours eased up enough to let students get to classes across campus, Wet teet and snittles lengthened the daily absence list, Pirates who hardly had known one cloud from another now appeared in raincoats, showf erfboots and peculiar headgear. there's been some CHANGES made!
