Guide to advise our choices, for how can our memories help but impress us with the happenings of our daily rehearsals in the classrooms . . . directors listening intently to our roles . . . students murmuring inaudibly before exams . . . those five-minute station breaks when we'd rush along the crowded corridors to ur next set. We see the A ras focusing on the giant stage sets, crisp autumn afte o gray winter evenings, breezy spring days.

MR. REGINALD NEUWIEN principal's message Theigiitle of this yearbook, Channel 58 , carries the suggestion of co kunication. We have become accustomed in our day to speak- ing channels and wavelengths. We depend greatly on information c ied through allotted channels. Q, In recent years man has extended his knowledge in certain areas to an amazing degree. All of the advancements which man's creative imagination and ingenuity are bringing about can be used iust as well for constructive purposes as for destructive. Selfish interest, distrust, and hatred are luxuries which we cannot afford. We must keep open the channels of communication and make them two-way connections. This is a problem involving you with all the wisdom and energy you can muster. May your accomplishments be great and your compensation satisfying. superintendent's message Seniors - you are on the air .
