It was May 13, the weatherman said, clearing, but the rains came down as the West Shore High School Junior Class embarked for Gettysburg for their annual Junior Class trip. The cannons, the Eternal Peace Light, and the memorials all appeared to be fuzzy through the steamed bus windows, but the fog was cleared con- siderably from the minds of Juniors as the Guides re-en- acted the events of July 1-4, 1863. Pictures were taken with wet cameras and a good time was enioyed by all. Rain could never deter the Juniors in this annual ex- cursion. Truly, the year 1957-1958 was filled to the brim for the Junior Class of West Shore. Many important de- cisions had been made and many good times had been enioyed. June 5, 1958, as we departed from the ivy covered building we were sobered by the thought that the fu- ture had become the present. At long last the term Senior was appropriate. This three-month vacation would pass all too quickly. September 4, 1958, marked our entrance through the portals of West Shore High to begin our final climb- this time to the top. Early in the term our Senior dean, Mr. Paul E. Stum, called a class meeting for the purpose of organizing. After racking our brains in order to make the best selections for this our greatest year, the bal- lots were cast and the victors announced. David Wat- kins was chosen as President, Gerald Prowell, as Vice- President, Nancy Goodall was selected Secretary, a po- sition she has capably filled for four years. Norma An- derson was chosen as Assistant-Secretary, Richard Berry as Treasurer, and Barbara Jordan as Class Historian. Under the leadership of the Senior Dean and class of- ficers, we soon had many of the activities of the Senior year scheduled and under way. One of our first obliga- tions was the selection of our commencement announce- ments which we did with mudh deliberation and result- ant satisfaction. At our second class meeting we faced the momen- tous task of selecting the person to whom we could dedi- cate our yearbook. This was not an easy task since there were so many worthy individuals. With the announce- ment that Mrs. Hazel Brown was the democratic choice, it was agreed we had made a good decision. ' Hard work, stress, strain, and many long hours of re- hearsal went into the preparation for the Senior Class Play. The production, January Thaw, was presented November 13 and 14 and iudging from the comments of those who saw it, we heartily agreed that this was one of the best plays ever presented at West Shore High School. lt is with sincere gratitude that we say thanks to Mr. Lawrence Waite and Mr. Donald Books for help- ing to make the play a success. December 5, the date of our first Senior Party, came upon us almost totally unexpected. However, dress-up was not in order since this was a scruff party. Social event number two was the Senior Ball. This was held in the Penn Harris Ballroom. Long will the night of January 17 be remembered, with the music for dancing provided by Maynard McKissick's Orchestra. This event will linger as a highlight in the minds of the class of 1959. Our second class party, a privilege accorded to Seniors only, took place on Friday, the thirteenth of March. The thirteenth, a traditional omen of bad luck, cast no such spell over the Seniors and their guests as they danced to the luke box and enioyed delicious refreshments. Although numerous social functions seemed to crowd our last year of high school, this did not interfere with our planning for college, for post-graduation iobs, for the armed forces, or the task of completing all neces- sary courses for graduation. Our thanks are truly in order to the Juniors for the hospitable reception they gave us at the Junior-Senior Prom. The Hershey Hotel was the scene of this crown- ing social event. Our best wishes to you, the Class of 1960. The history of our class would not be authentic with- out giving credit where credit is clue. And so, for the contributions they have made to our successful achieve- ment we thank The Board of Education, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Hendricks, Mr. Behman, our Guidance Counselors, and each individual faculty member. We are now anxiously awaiting the coming events -the New York trip, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. It may seem to us now that this will be the last time that we think of our Senior Class. However, this will not be so because as we go forth into the world to take our place, we will be constantly reminded of our Senior Class-all of its activities-and we will always Pledge ourselves true to you dear Gold and Blue.
