Our castle performance, The Merry Widow, starred many of our classmates, including Priscilla Glass, Peter Carleton, Donald Farris, and David Osterhout. Soon plans were being made for the big event of the year, the grand ball. We formed committees and held many meetings, the theme decided on was, Fantasy in Blue. The day, May tenth, finally ar- rived, and hours of hard work transformed the gym into the most beautiful ballroom our castle ever had. Bay State Champs, 1958 We then organized the yearbook committees and worked earnestly and diligently to meet the dead- lines. All of us labored to produce the best yearbook ever. Also plans were made for our royal paper, the Stylus, which was to be printed differently. ln December Purdy's took our class pictures, soon we were distributing them among the lords and ladies. We were now recognized in all the various sports in the castle. Our ladies' field hockey had another undefeated season. The football squad played honorably. Another Bay State trophy cup was presented to the great hockey team, and our basketball players finally won two games. All of us certainly agree that this year was full of excitement. After graduation we mounted our horses and galloped out of the courtyard to seek our fortunes. Now we're in charge! To end our reign as barons and baronesses, we took the last of our trips to Nantasket, and throughout the summer we looked forward to the day when we would become Dukes and Duchesses. SENIOR YEAR At last the long awaited year arrived. We were Dukes and Duchesses! We ruled the entire castle. As soon as the life of a top official became familiar to us, we elected our officers: Presi- dent, Wayne Kivi, Vice President, Kenneth Eklund, Secretary, Vivian Yeiser and Nancy Forssell, Treas- urer, Priscilla Glass. Seniors lead the life of Riley!

The class of 1958-way back when JUNIOR YEAR As we entered the palace for the third time we found we had advanced to the more important rank of Barons and Baronesses. Although we were still under the orders of the Dukes and Duchesses we had acquired some seniority which gave us the right to lord it over our underclassmen. This year's court was: President, Wayne Kivi, Vice President, Ken- neth Eklund, Secretary, Vivian Yeiser, Treasurer, Priscilla Glass. Sports began and soon many hopeful candidates were try- ing out for the castle teams. Many members of our class were becoming known in the world of sports. Next on the agenda was the task of choosing a class ring. We were all pleased with the final selection, gold with a blue stone and a white crest. Priscilla Glass took a lead part in the operetta, Babes in Toyland, in March. ln March our knights and ladies planned a Saint Patrick's Day Dance. Un- fortunately it was postponed because of a sudden snowstorm, the ball was finally held in April. Again the palace gates closed behind us as we left for our annual excursion to Nantasket. Always a part of our lives Fantasy in Blue
