IOSEPH DEPEYSTER 1 Dedication We, the Senior Class, deem it a great honor to dedicate this yearbook to someone whom we have known for a long time. When we were young, she taught us how to think for ourselvesg she revealed to us the world of knowledge and science and planted our feet firmly on the ground, pointing in the direction of worthwhile horizons. For her devotion to our first intellectual needs we will always remember her, and we are proud to think that through the years she has kept us in her thoughts. Her continued interest in all of us, whether she knows us as former pupils or just as friends, has been a real encouragement during our school life. Now, as we leave Sunset Hill to further our learning else- where, we wish to pay tribute to the one who has inspired us from the beginning by dedicating the 1956 SUNDIAL to Miss Eleanor Halley, and wishing her the best of every- thing in the years to come.

The five little darlings were Nancy Barrett, Karen Bunting, Ann Hovey, Donna Loeb, and Nancy Nichols, all of whom were graduated expertly versed in the arts of hair-pulling and sash-tearing, all having experienced that memorable supreme pleasure of uttering the first naughty word. Ann and the two Nancys soon chose to cast their lots elsewhere, but Karen and Donna remained steadfastly loyal. The primary grades were conquered and the teachers maimed by the small revolutionary band, the membership of which grew to include Vicki Zuber, Sandra Yukon, Laura Hockaday, Mary Wallis, and Suzanne Wheeler. An event of importance was the return of Nancy Nichols, who undoubtedly found it increasingly difficult to play hooky for four years. The dancing school years were soon upon us, and we participated whole- heartedly in patent leather pumps, braids, and braces. Upon our entrance into eighth grade, we were faced with several new problems, namely, Miss Hovey, Miss Mann, Miss Olson, Miss Park, Miss Powell, and Miss Wagstaff. This year proved to be one of trials and tribulations. We were greatly enraged at not being allowed to attend A. A. dances or to play hockey against our elders by whom we were very much scorned. Late in the spring an epidemic of measles swept the class, leaving in the classroom only a very few less-fortunates who continued desperately to search for red splotches. Freshman year dawned with the addition of Laura Lee Carkener and Marjorie Shackelford. Determined to let our elders know who's who, we set out with the intention of carrying off scholastic awards of various and sundry types, and basketball and hockey cups. It is extraordinary how the best laid schemes o' mice and men can go astray, for we had the sole honor of winning no honors and a continuous, unvarying column of defeats. Another autumn came and brought with it the Sophomore Slump, a rather infectious disorder, the victim of which is inflicted by a disastrous case of giggles and her every movement seems to have been inspired by St. Vitus. This was a year of plotting and intrigue. With consuming curi- osity and shifting eyes, we sought a chance to venture forth upon the hallowed senior stairs. Academicwise we learned defense tactics number one and two, the bluff and the stall. ln a word, we became Artful Dodgersf, During the latter part of the year, Nancy Barrett returned from a rather long vacation to join us in our devsiltry. At the beginning of junior year, honor study hall was almost completely evacuated, for if the truth must be told, there was a recurrence of the indisposition previously mentioned. The time we did not spend wishing we were seniors we spent in the dining room developing atrocious appetites. Ann Hoffman joined us during the last half of the year, thus completing the Class of 1956. Finally the long-awaited moment arrived. Seniors we became and did not feel radically altered. The senior room was remodeled in a lovely black and fuchsia scheme by eighteen aesthetes, and goodies were placed therein. Thus the scene was set for a year of gracious living. But about the time that the iceman cometh, cameth also tidings that we would have to worketh if we expected to go to college. In desperation we vowed to atone for the indolence of previous years. We wrote furiously on term papers, and to nullify evidence of active senior room participation, solemnly fol- lowed a diet featuring rye crisp and Tiger Milk. By some strange contrivance we managed to struggle through College Boards and get into college. Thus with graduation, we, the Class of 1956, terminate our career at Sunset 1-lill. We thank Mrs. Green and the faculty for their patience in pulling us through. Best of luck to the Class of 1957. 24 Graduation Left fo right: Donna Loeb, Nancy Barrett, Nancy Nichols, Sandra Yukon, Kitty Wagstaff, Ann Hoffman, Laura Lee Carkener Caroline Park, Suzanne Wheeler, Mary Ann Olson, Barry Mann, Karen Bunting, Marilyn Powell, Ann Hovey, Mary Wallis, Marjorie Shackelforcl, Laura Hockaday, Vicki Zuber, CARRY ON VVords by Mr. Richard Vlliles Music by Mr. Iohn Kander Printed here by permission of Mr. VViles The time has come when every year some must say good-bye.

Green The Sunset Hill Student Council was formed in 1922 to give the students a voice in the school government. From each class, eighth grade through twelfth grade, one representative is chosen each semester. ln the spring, the three officers of the Council are elected by the entire high school to serve for the following year. The able leaders for 1955-1956 were seniors, Karen Bunting, presidentg Mary Ann Olson, vice-president, and junior, Kay Cromb, secretary. All members of Council must be in Honor Study Hall. Each Monday afternoon the officers and representatives meet with Mrs. Green, their sponsor, to carry out the duties of the Council. These include supervising study halls, approving the list of girls for Honor Study Hall, and initiating new school projects. The Council sponsors such activities as the Student Council-Athletic Association Picnic, Christmas Revels, May Day, and paper sales. Money raised from the paper sales is used to aid needy European children. Evangelos Plavagos, a Creek boy, and Lucia Protynick, a Polish D.P. child in Western Cermany, are now receiving this aid. Student Council exchanges letters with these children and sends them monthly clothing parcels and Christmas packages. 42 tuclent Council Lower ohool Back row, left to right: Blair Nichols, Carol Stotts, Gail McGreevy, Jean Trusty, Amy Buckingham, Julie Jenkins, Marty Knight, Jody Groves, Kay Nichols, Sally Lee, Gina McDonald, Becky Connell.

It meets twice a month with its sponsor, Mrs. Cage. ln addition, Council luncheons are held on the third Thursday of each month. The Council consists of its officers and a representative elected from each class. The several functions of the Council include the supervision of lower school paper sales, social service work, and charity drives, such as the Polio Fund. Upon graduation into the high school, the girls quickly become familiar with the operation of the Upper School Student Council because of the foundation they have gained through participa- tion in Lower School Council affairs. 43 Athletic Association Back row, left to right: Kathy Greenwood, Carol Carmichael, Betsy Loomis, Miss Kern, Jane Berry, Linda Long, Susan Smith.

The A.A. organizes for the students many extra-curricular events, both athletic and social. The highly suc- cessful A.A. dances, held in the spring and fall of each year, are sponsored by the Athletic Associa- tion, the president of which for 1955-1956 was Caroline Park. The Athletic Association also arranged the hockey and basketball play-days with Barstow and the varsity hockey game with John Burroughs of St. Louis. Field Day included intramural tournaments, races, volley ball, tennis, badminton, and ping-pong-all of which were organized by the A.A. with the excellent advice of Miss Kern, the physical education instructor and sponsor of the association.

The president, Mary Wallis, was chosen by the entire school. Under the able leadership of Miss Wied, faculty sponsor, and Mary, the Board backed many activities this year. The United Funds Drive, the March of Dimes Drive, and the junior Red Cross Membership Drive were all successfully undertaken by the board. At Thanksgiving, food was collected and de- livered to fifteen needy families, and at Christmastime each class adopted a family to whom it sup- plied gifts, food, and clothing. In addition, two hundred Salvation Army Dolls were dressed by the girls and the faculty. Twice during the year, at Thanksgiving and Easter, the board members made tray favors for various hospitals. In the spring a picnic was held for an orphanage. The Social Service Activity is an important outgrowth of the Board. ln February it sponsored a chest built by the Pem-Day boys, then filled by the girls with school supplies and sent overseas. On Wednesday afternoons the activity members visit old peoples, homes and take care of little children at different recreational centers. Much of the success of the Social Service activities is due to the fine cooperation of the upper school and faculty with the board. All participants in the Social Service work seem to learn and ben- efit from it. 45 Library Board l Back row, left to right: Margaret Weatherly, Gayle McGrew, Elizabeth Bruening, Jan Buckingham, Jane Seaver, Lynn Pearson, Mary Lou Ryan.

Barnes The members of the Library Board are girls chosen from the high school and eighth grade classes by the board of the previous year. In the spring the board nominates three members, of at least one year's service, for the presidency. The entire high school then elects the president from the girls nominated. Library Board representatives are responsible for neatness in the library and are always on hand to answer students, questions about books. The members take at least two periods a week as libra- rians. A major interest of the board is the Book Fair, which it sponsors each year. Undoubtedly, the functioning of the Library Board is an integral part of the schoo1's academic programL 46 ssemblie Once a week in both Upper and Lower School, assemblies are given, either by classes or by activity groups to share their projects, by individual students, or by interesting outside speakers. Une of the better early assemblies was that on the Lake Forest Conference given by the seniors who at- tended the conference. Later, Dr. Royall spoke on Italy and Greece, illustrating his talk with beautiful slides. There have been excellent assemblies on careers open to women given by women lawyers and by a journalist. Among the more technical assemblies were one pre- sented by Miss Young's algebra II class and two put on by Miss Wiedis science classes. The Washingtoii- Lincoln assembly, given by the American history class, was thoroughly enjoyed, as was the fourth year French elassys play, Le Bourgeois Gentilhommef' The mem- bers of the drama activity demonstrated their abilities in several well-acted assemblies. The 1955-56 year of assemblies ended with the traditional senior class skit. ln the spring, the student body elects a Chairman of Assemblies for the following year. This year it was voted to elect an assistant to the chairman. Laura Lee Carkener was a very sparkling chairman for 1955-1956. laura Lee Carkener, Chairman of Assemblies for 1955-56.

Lat year an important step was taken in that the student body decided to make it a board so that the editor could be elected by the entire high school. The board meets on VVednesdays during the activity period, in order to have a double amount of time in which to work. Another important step in improving the Sunsetter was taken this year. Assistant Editor Carolyn Cahal's father offered to print the Sunsetter for us in his office free of cost. Thanks to Mr. Cahal, the newspaper looks much clearer and is flawlessly typed. Carol Schwartz, competent editor of the Sunsetter, added to the newspaper new ideas, such as the Meet the Faculty, Word Worriers'i and Anagrams columns. Miss Thornton, as sponsor, put forth much needed effort in correcting and editing articles. The 1955-1956 Sunsetter has greatly increased the popularity of the school newspaper because of its different layout, its attractive headlines, and its exciting new print. l 48 uudial Back row, left to right: Laura Lee Carkener, Janette McDonald, Susie Allen, Caroline Park, Judy Marder, Linda Bills, Jean Berkley, Ann Hovey, Fudie Foresman, Louise Walters, Kay Cromb, Carolyn Cahal, Shari Coburn, Mary Loeb, Margaret Weatherly, Brenda Sosland, Sally Barlow, Vicki Zuber, Karen Bunting, Mollie Allen, Pat Uhlmann, Martha Kassabaum, Betsy Loomis, Eloise Williams, Martha Litman.

For the first time in the history of the school, a yearbook was edited by the students. lt was indeed an exciting moment when the first SUNDIALS were opened and the students could look back on their past year's activities in picture-book form. The 1956 SUNDIAL is the third yearbook at Sunset Hill. It is again the result of the combined ef- forts of all the high school classes under the staff supervision of the members of the Senior Class. This year, Mrs. Thompson, as the yearbook sponsor, gave invaluable assistance to the production of the an- nual. There will be many more SUNDIALS in the future, and year upon year the girls will be able to turn the pages of the yearbook and reminisce about bygone days at their alma mater. 49 A Cappella Choir First row, left to right: Jessie Benton, Vicki Zuber, Donna Loeb, Mary Wallis, Nancy Barrett, Laura Lee Carkener, Mary Loeb.

A Cappella is a group which takes a very active part in school events during the year. The 1955- 1956 A Cappella consisted of gifted and interested girls under the expert direction of Miss Baker, the music instructor. This year the girls took part in a music assembly and contributed a great deal to the commencement exercises. A Cappella was particularly busy during the Yuletide season. This year the choir was enlarged for the Christmas activities-caroling at Revels, singing beautiful religious music for Vespers, and caroling for the Christmas musical festival on the Plaza. While singing on the Plaza, the Sunset Hill and Barstow choirs together had their pictures taken for the National Geographic Magazine. 50 Drama ctivity Back row, left to right: Mollie Allen, Leslie Katz, Jane Seaver, Betty Byers, Sue Davis, Diane Allen.

The purpose of the Student Council Picnic, held every fall, is to acquaint the new teachers and students and the eighth grade with the rest of the teachers and high school. To add to the ex- citement, the first Bronze-Gold hockey games of the year are played at the picnic. After a dinner served by the Student Council, the teachers and various classes give skits for each other's entertainment. The picnic traditionally ends with marshmallows toasted over a large bonfire, accompanied by singing. Come and get it! Bully for you! 56 Book Fair Leff fo right: Suzanne Wheeler, Diane Wiens, Vicki Zuber, Sandra Yukon, Mrs. Bclrnes. Un the 9th and 10th of November, the annual Book Fair was held in the Nlellon Buildmv Ihis your the books were furnished by thc Cokesbury Book Store, and 52,000 Worth of books were sold for the first time, the school received a commission, which went into the Library Fund. To encouiave in tcrcst in this project, the upper and lower schools gave an assembly and a program for the Pciient Teacher Association. hluch of the credit for this successful event goes to Mrs. Gage, aided bv the Librmv Board and 21 number of capable mothers.

According to French legend, Bo-Bossu was a crippled boy who lived on the island of Saint-Malo. He was cured of his affliction when he presented the Christ Child with a beautiful cradle which he had carved himself. Once again the junior class gave the Christmas program. Mrs. Scott wrote the play from thc French story and then directed it. Principals in the cast were: Sandra Sames as Bo-Bossu, Carol Schwartz as Jesus, Fudie Foresman as a priest, Jean Berkley as Penhoel, Linda Baker and Janette McDonald as Saint Mary, Kay Zuber as a sailor, and Jessie Benton as the Angel of Glad Tidings. Sandra as Bo-Bossu sang a short solo, and Jessie sang on stage in the church while the upper and lower school choruses sang with her. The Vespers music sounded especially beautiful this year as it was sung by the two choruses and A Cappela under the direction of Miss Baker. 58 LQ,Qf3B o Q 66 Penhoel's Carpenfer Shop Lefi fo righf: Sondra Sames, Carol Schwartz as 575 SQ 42 .,..,...,, lower School Chorus evels This year, as every year since 1916, Sunset Hill celebrated the traditional Revels in the manner of Medieval England. Everyone from the faculty through the youngest first grader came in costume, prepared for a good time. All assembled in the Main Building to sing carols, led by the Master of Bevels, Jessie Benton, and to hear Christmas stories told by Laura Gies, a seventh grader, and an original legend by Nancy Barrett, a senior. The Yule Log with Leslie Branton, a first grader, perched atop was pulled up to the fireplace by the seventh graders. Miss Bagenstos set the new log ablaze with a brand from last year's Lule Log. Then as the revelers adjourned to the gym, they dropped their money into the Wassail Bowls. A grand march took place in the gym, during which cookies, baked by the eighth grade were offered to the merry-makers. Carol Schwartz, who found the bean in her cookie, was crowned King of Bevels and her partner, Barbara Counsell, was crowned Queen. After the 'lroyaltyv were seated on their thrones, everyone took part in games and relays similar to those played in the English manor houses. As a climax to the fun, the seniors put on a skit entitled The Littlest Snowman. Next, everyone went to the dining room for a wonderful turkey dinner. Before the meal began, the sophomore Latin class sang The boar's head in hand bear 1, bedecked with bay and rosemaryl' while carrying a papieremache boar's head around the dining room. During dinner the A Cappella Choir serenaded the revelers, and everyone sang together. After farewells from the Master of Bevels and lX1rs. Green, the Revels of 1955 was concluded and all of the merry-makers went home for the holidays, filled to the brim with the Yule- tide spirit. Top: Jessie Benton, Muster of Revels.

The most outstanding event of the hockey season this year was a game with lohn Burroughs of St. Louis. This was the beginning of a rivalry that everyone hopes will continue for many years. On the 28th of October, about sixty upper school girls gathered at the Union Station to greet the arriving guests. Each girl on the team took a visitor to her house for the night. The follow- ing day turned out to be a warm, sunny one as all gathered on the field for the battle. The Sunset players started off with a bang, making two goals in the first half. Unfortunately, though. Bur- roughs was too good and came through with four goals in the second half to win by a score of 4 to 2. After the game the members of both teams and the A. A. Board went to the dining room for a delicious luncheon supplied and served by the upper school mothers. Then everyone went to Pem-Day for the Burroughs-Pembroke football game, after which the visitors took the train back to St. Louis. The day was very successful, and everyone went home satisfied with having put up a good fight and determined to even up the score next year. l as Sunset Rooters and Cheerleaders- Mrs. Orville C.
