Class History As the great sundial of time revolves on its golden pedestal, history is recorded. We, the class of '58, feel it is our duty to leave some small record of our accomplishments, for our school days will soon be history. ln our Freshman year we were 165 strong. As freshmen, WE thought, WE were THE STUFF. After all we were in high school! Who could forget the P. E. classes on the bleachers or the excit- ment of laying out of class? During the Sophomore year we were all that Sophomores could wish to be - important, taking part in all school activities and sports. We felt that we had attained great heights when we were allowed to participate in the Junior-Senior Banquet. Mr. Johnson proved to be a highlight of this year with his interesting biology topics. Then our Junior year dawned brightly on us with its bustle and activity. Our Junior-Senior Ban- quet was a very elaborate affair with its 'Oriental' theme. The ibids and other footnotes in our first term paper will not soon be forgotten, nor will 'the unusual excitment which resulted from the Chemistry class. On a bright autumn day we returned to dear old SHS, this time a little sad at the thought of this being our last year together. Soon plans were under way for raising money for our annual trip to Washington. Many methods were used, the most successful being the magazine drive. An out- standing memory of this year was the 9-1 record held by our Golden Hurricane Football Team. So, amid the flurry of commencement our Senior year ends. Let us remember always to look forward, not backward, and do our best in every undertaking. All that remains are memories.

The Moon November 8, 1965 Dear Lynda, Here I am on the moon. l really arrived in style on the Bryson, Dills Jet, Inc. , owned by Charles and Lionel. The pilot was none other than Bob QLover boyj Sams and the co-pilot was Nancy Bryson. We had a little trouble on the way. Jerry QBebopJ Karp, lingerie salesman, and those burlesque queens, Cledis Mills and Evelyn Jones, were having a game of cards when suddenly Jerry, who had lost every- thing, shot Cledis. The doctor, Harley Sellers, and his nurse, Betty Jo Fisher, tried in vain to save her. Jerry was turned over to Police Chief, Betty Cope and her deputy, Phyllis The Kid Gibson. He is to be tried next week. I know he'll be convicted, he hasn't a chances his lawyer is Dan K. Moorel The hotel where I'm staying is beautiful. It's owned by June McCoy and is called 'Paradise Plus. The bell boy is Ned Mills and the jani- tor is Phil Fowler - he does a great job. A little while ago the messenger, Pauline Pannell, brought me a dozen purple roses from The Kelly Bradley Florist Shop' and an in- vitation to dinner from Ben C011 welll Cathy. The restaurant in which we dined was 'The Field General, owned by Ed Jones. I are a Sut- ton and Sutton Special, another dream dish by Yvonne and Lucille. The floor show was really something. The Sunny Six' - Martha Lou Allen, Ellen Biddix, Betty Denton, Joann Bradley, Christine Crisp, and Jean McDonald - made the Rockettes look sick. Katie Smith sang her latest hit, Barbara-Great Balls of Fire-Allen. The climax of the evening was the ballet dance by Maurice Moody and Elizabeth wilkey. Joanne Parris is president of the U. N. Moon and George Brookhyser is vice President. Margaret Painter is commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, while Bessie Burch is head of the Naval Operations. My studio opened yesterdayg I already have orders to design dresses for the wives of Carl Smith and Ralph Tatham. It is time to hit the Old Milky Way. Please write and let me know what's happening on dear old Earth. Love, Mary The future as seen by two nitwits!
