I ..- I-lugh Paton and Sandra Dante It was on abright September morning in 1954 thatwe, the Class of 1958, first enteredthe hallowed halls of Whitman High. The first task encountered by us bewildered freshmen was to become ac- customed to schedules, classes, and the constant harassing of the upper classmen. Soon we elected our class officers to guide us through the year. We chose Kenneth Butler, president, Sheila Whalen, vice-president, Joyanne Packard, secretary, and John Lynch, treasurer. Mrs. Thesbe Hobby and Mr. Herbert Doerfler were our advisors. With a Halloween motif we held the first freshrnan dance in the high school. By this time, the football season was getting under way. Will we ever forget our first football rally? Although our cheerleaders, Joyanne Packard and Deanna Deehan, did their best to lead us, our childish trebles just couldn't compete with the rahs and booms of the upper classmen. The second rally must have had its effect upon the football team, because the boys defeated Abington High to end the season undefeated. Bill Ferris, who was the only freshman on the football team, also represented our class on the basketball team, which completed a successful season. Having completed our first year, we left W. H. S. in June, looking forward to becoming sopho- mores inSeptember. At the same time, we bid farewell to our classmates from Halifax, who would attend the new Silver Lake Regional High in the fall. Almost too fast September came, and we returned to Whitman High as Sophomores. With the help of our class advisors, Mrs. Hobby and Mr. Roth, we participated in many enjoyable and suc- cessfu.l activities. For our class officers, we elected Kenneth Butler, Joyanne Packard, Peter Butler,and Linda Bradshaw. Our representatives for the Student Council were Elaine Corliss, Sonny English, and William Ferris. Our class gladly accepted its new members Betty Rowell, Beverly Chase, and John Plausse. John wasa fine addition to the successful football team that year, as were his fellow classmates-- Sonny English, Pete Derosier, Billy Ferris, Jerry Benoit, and Gary Porter. Bill Ferris and John Plausse represented our class on the basketball team, also. Our athletic girls--Joy Packard, Ann Huska, Barbara Shields, Betty Rowell, Phyllis Sullivan, Nancy Barlow, Sherie Mongeau, and Penny Keith did a fine job on the softball team. We presented our sophomoredance, Cupid's Capers , in February, and to the strains of Noble I..apworth's Orchestra we danced all night amidst hearts and flowers. We participated in the Student Council bottle drive, the proceeds of which bought our electric scoreboard for the basketball games. In June we ended our sophomore year and eagerly looked forward to September. And thenwe were Juniors! Our class officers were Kenneth Butler, Joy Packard, Tom Simonis, and Linda Bradshaw. We were happy to welcome Gail Sevigny and Michael Anderson to our class. We got right to work, and in November we presented Oriental Fantasy . With the help of an ingenius decorating committee, the junior class turned the gym into Chinatown. A proud moment came when Linda Bradshaw, Betty Rowell, Judy Marsh, Bessie White, Nancy Wolforth, Nancy Barlow, Patricia McCarthy, Thomas Doyle, and Kirk Paton were inducted into the National Honor Society. May brought our prom. The theme was Stardust, and we proceeded to make our prom the best ever in Whitman High. The Milky Way above us and the silver paint on the floor made a dreamy setting as we danced under the reign of our heavenly queen, Nancy Barlow. Suddenly it was Juneg and as we helped the Seniors get ready for graduation, we realized thatit would soon be time for us to take that big step---to be Seniors. After a summer of anticipation, we returned to Whitrnan High as Seniors. Because of the press of class duties, it was imperative that we hold elections immediately. Our selections were Kennetl' Butler, president, Joyanne Packard, vice - president, Linda Bradshaw, secretary, and Thomas Simonis, treasurer. Mrs. Hobby and Mr. Rothwere our advisors once again. We welcomed our three new members--MargaretandMaryScott, and Joseph Paiva--to our class. Our new chemistry teacher, Mr. Waters, certainly opened the year with a bang! Following the sodium explosion, our entire class sat and looked in expectation at the ceiling, but it remained firm. Led by Co-captains Jerry Benoit and Sonny English, our football team ended a successful cam- paign by toppling Abington High in the annual Turkey Day game. Curtain Going Up , one of the best senior class plays ever to be presented at Whitman High, was put on beforea capacity audience on January l7, 1958, with Nancy Barlow and Kenneth Butler in the leading roles. 30
