Scarcely a week later. aided hy our faithful advisors. Mrs. lilzey. lVlr. Yvheatly. and lVlr. Campbell, we pooled our resources once more to present our Senior Dance. Mistletoe Magicfi As always. the decorations were enchanting. The winter theme was carried out in murals and greenery. and culminated in a glittering mistletoe bull suspended from the ceiling. These. together with music supplied hy Lou Parris and his Orchestra, comhined to make our Senior Dance a real success. just before Christmas vacation. name cards arrived and we were all kept lrusy trading them with each other. College Boards. Scholarship exams. and semester tests marked the heginning of our final semester. Our class had maintained its superh scholastic record throughout four years without sacrificing any of the fun and frolic of high school. We had developed skills and acquired new poise and self-confidence from our various experiences. Some of our outstanding classmates were: Vlfayne Lyons, President of the Student Council. ltohert Kough, President of the National Honor Society, Rusty Geiger, President of the Hi-Y, Jeanne Car- hack, President of the Tri-Hi-Y. Hedda Nordlie. A.F.S. Exchange Student from Norway, Francine Adams. Editor of the Blue layfi Alice McCormick, Editor of the Aloha,7' and Marie McBride, President of the Future Homemakers ol America. But the general consensus of opinion seemed to attribute our class's success to the fact that everyone in the class did his part-in his particular field of endeavor. The most outstanding characteristic, however, was that we never lost our individuality. Yes, as we sit here together, perhaps for the last time, and look hack on our years in high school, we sense a mixed emotion of eagerness to meet new challengs, and reluctance to leave behind all that is familiar and dear to us. Now that we are actually leaving, we realize what our parents mean when they say, 'tHigh school years are the best yearsf' We know that as we grow older, these memories will become more precious to us-memories of our days at Seaford High School.

As we entered the doors of S.H.S. in September, for our last year, we realized that this was the goal toward which we had been working since we began school back in 1945. With this important title of Senior, however, came new and heavier burdens of responsibility. To lead us through this all-important year, we chose ,lim Hughes as President. Nancy Lloyd was Vice President, Shan Hardin, Secretary, Sally Ellett, Treasurer, and Alice McCormick, Historian. Wayne Lyons assumed his duties as Student Council President, aided by Wayne Litchford, Vice President, ,lim Hughes, Treasurer, and Nancy Lloyd and Shan Harden, Representatives. As Vice President of the Student Council, Wayne Litchford was automatically our Athletic Council representative. This year we were happy to welcome Hedda Nordlie, an American Field Service exchange student from Norway, as a member of our class. This year, as in previous seasons, the class of 1957 displayed unusual prowess in the fields of scholarship and athletics. Twenty-five seniors were elected to per- manent membership in the National Honor Society. Bill Harper and Robert Kough were elected co-captains of the football team and led the team, sparked by seven- teen Seniors, through a very successful season, which ended with a seven-two record, of which any coach would be proud. Our girls did their part in the field of sports, too. Eight seniors joined forces on the Blue Jets' hockey team, and later in the year, the basketball, track, and baseball teams made their usual good showings with a large percentage of the teams, seniors. This year our whirl of activity began much earlier than last year. On November 10, 1956, we canvassed the town and demonstrated our salesmanship on the Senior Bake. Our net profit of S5750 was well worth the time and effort. Soon after our successful bake came the Senior Play, Gramercy Ghost. Nancy Lloyd, as Nancy Willard, a young lady who inherited a ghost, and Bob Jackson, as Charles Stewart, the young man who rid her of the unwanted legacy, gave memorable performances to a capacity audience.
