CLASS HISTORY In September of 1954, the class of 1958 entered the ivy covered walls of West Shore High School. We had hardly learned our way about this spacious building and be- come acquainted with all of our teachers when it became necessary to organize. At our first class meeting, under the supervision of Mr. Jack Ray, class dean, we elected the following persons to provide leadership for the year-President, William Slothower, Vice President, James Stoner, Secretary, Susan Underwood, and Treasurer, Wayne Myers. We chose as our class flower the American Beauty Rose, as our class colors, blue and silver, and as our class motto, We enter to learn and leave to serve. Upon completion of a rather uneventful yet rewarding first year of high school, we were glad to discard that Freshman label and welcome the summer vacation. With the fall of 1955 came the beginning of our Sophomore year. With the title of Sophomore, we felt a bit more proud and sophisticated. Under the supervision of Mr. John Behman, our class dean, we again elected as class President, William Slothower, Vice President, Stanley Johnston, Secretary, Susan Underwood, and Treasurer, Wayne Myers. For our annual class assembly program on February 22 we presented a show com- prised ofthe best talent from the Sophomore class. Our yearly class party was held in the gym on March 9, with music provided by the luke box. The party was a huge success and, as usual, a good time was had by all. ln March we placed our orders for the much l coveted class rings and then began t-he long wait until their arrival in August. After our second and what we might call a more enlightening year at West Shore High School, we looked forward to our summer vacation. In September of 1956, refreshed from va- cation and proudly displaying our new class rings, we began our iunior year. Our Junior class dean was Miss lnza Bentz. At our first class meeting, William Slothower was elect- ed for a third term as class President. Other persons elected to offices were-Stanley Johnston, for a second term as Vice Presi- dent, Jacqueline Willis, our newcomer from England, Secretary, and Wayne Myers, third-termer, guardian of the treasury. Our first fund-raising project was the selling of refreshments at the football games. This proved to be a bone-chilling experience at times but financially rewarding. ln the spring we sponsored the operetta, Tulip Time, under the direction of Mr. Williams, which also considerably aided our treasury balance. At our January class meeting we elected two proven leaders, Stanley Johnston and Joseph DiRienzo, as editor and business manager, respectively, for our yearbook, the Troian. On March 13, our dramatic talent was again displayed as we presented our Junior play, Mama's Getting Married. On March 17, the Junior Party was held in the gym. The class and their guests had a delightful
