EMERIC TEDESCHI President JO ANN SAVINO Vice President CLASS OF 58 This year's Senior Class activities, under the capable guidance of Mr. Roy Stern and Mr. Emil Vigilante, were many and varied. We sold foot- ball pins, as our first money raising project, and then sponsored the Sadie Hawkin's Dance, the opening of the Westbury High School social season. This successful event provided not only a good time for those who attend- ed but also the needed capital for our future class activities. We partici- oated in the annual Kiwanis-sponsored Halloween Parade. Our entry, a nursery rhyme inspired float, won first prize. With this victory behind us, we began working toward the King and Queen Dance by selling class pins for additional operating funds. For the first time the King and Queen had a court maeje up of Seniors, elected by their classmates, with such titles as court jester and best athlete. The dance was a spectacular in true movie-land fashion; it was climaxed by the regal crowning of the King and Queen who reigned in royal splen- dor. Remembrances of this dance lingered fondly until the never-to-be-for- gotten Senior Ball. And so we leave Westbury High with fond memories to cherish always.
