evening dancing to the music of the Hershey Industrial School Orchestra. Our climatic social event of the year was the Junior- Senior prom, held on May 25 at the exclusive Hotel Hershey with music provided by the always popular Frank Taylor's Orchestra. With the arrival of spring came our long awaited class trip to the Gettysburg Battle- field. This highlight of our Junior year was educationally profitable and very enjoyable. With the close of this school year, our view into the future became a bit more realistic. For upon our return in the fall we would write our last chapter in our record at West Shore High School. In September of 1957 came the thought, sobering to many of us, of the end of our public school career. Proud of the fact that we had had our Senior pictures taken during the summer vacation, we plunged industri- ously into our most important year. Under the leadership of our class dean, Mr. Paul Stum, we held our first class meet- ing. The results of our voting for officers gave William Slothower his fourth term as class President. Other persons duly elected to offices were-Harry McKillips, Vice Presi- dent, Susan Underwood, Secretary, Wayne Myers, Treasurer, and Ellen Birk, Class His- torian. Our theatrical production, Come Out of the Closet, was presented on November 21 and 22. The play, produced by Mr. Lawrence Waite, faculty director, and Sandra Stetler, student director, proved to be a box-office hit. Under the capable management of Mr. Donald Books, the play was also profitable financially. On December 6 the first Senior Party was held in the gym. The popular apparel of the evening was Bermuda shorts while the popular appeal seemed to be the delicious ice cream sandwiches. After much deliberation the official commencement an- nouncement was chosen by the class on November 5, from the Josten Company. Highlighting the social events of the first semester was the Senior Ball, held on Janu- ary 18, at the Penn Harris Hotel. The Seniors, their guests and the faculty, danced away the hours to the beautiful music of Maynard McKissick and his ten-piece orchestra. The second Senior Party, a dress-up affair, was held in the gym on March 7. The theme, The Satellite Swirl, was beautifully por- trayed by the blue decorations and spark- ling crystal ball. Delicious refreshments cli- maxed an enioyable evening. We express our thanks to the Junior class for the lovely Junior-Senior Prom held in May at the Hershey Hotel. This wonderful evening has become another cherished memory of our Senior year. And now we look forward to a Senior trip, Baccalaureate, and finally, the crown- ing glory of our years of work, play and study, Commencement. Yes, we finally real- ize the great debt we owe to our parents, our class deans, our teachers, our adminis- trators, our Board of Education, our com- munity, and our country. To all of these who had a definite part in shaping our lives, we express our thanks for truly we are more poised on the stepping stone to the future. To each individual member comes the chal- lenge to uphold our motto, We enter to learn and leave to serve. How well we serve will be determined by how well we have learned. Let us hope that we have learned our lessons well and that our service will be a credit to our school, our community, our fellowmen, to our country, and to our God. ELLEN R. BIRK
