CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1958, after five years together, fondly review our happy experiences. Each of us, as a Sub-Freshman, was eager to meet the challenge of his high school career. We wanted to get in the swing of our new surroundings. Elections were held in the homerooms for representatives to the Student Council, Red Cross, and WI HI NEWS. Twenty-four subs sang in the operetta College Days. Our representa¬ tives in the May Court were Connie Cooper, Linda Curtiss, and Kaye Wolf. The next year with the division of the school into the Junior High and Senior High, we could not help but realize the importance of our work and the responsibility of our leadership as the seniors of the Junior High. The class diligently tackled the job of creating a Student Council constitution and elected Michael Bloxham President. Our other officers were Russell Smith, First Vice-President; and Sue Stein, Second Vice-President. The Alma Mater was written by Janice Hearn, and the school song, by Anne Johnson. At the completion of our F reshman year, awards were presented on Honor Day to the students who had been outstanding in various aspects of school life. Sophomores! A new and beautiful school! Also underclassmen again! We had many adjustments to make and started by electing our representatives, joining clubs, participating in sports, and serving on committees. The Sophomore Leap Year Dance was well attended. Linda Curtiss represented our class in the Winter Carnival. May Court attendants were Judy Bozman, Gail Curtiss, and Kaye Wolf. How important we felt to be Juniors! In rapid succession various memorable events followed. The elected Junior Class Officers were Rocky Burnett, President; Michael Bloxham, Vice-President; Judy Bozman, Secretary; and Frank Lewis, Treasurer. The Student Council officers from our class included Michael Bloxham, Second Vice- President; and Anne Skirven, Secretary-Treasurer. The successful presentation of Mother Is a Freshman as the Junior Class Play was the result of hard work by the cast, directors, and committees. Judy Bozman represented us in the Winter Carnival Court. Everyone who attended had a marvelous time at the Junior Dance. We honored the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, realizing that we would assume the position as top rank¬ ing class the following year. The May Court attendants from our class were Judy Bozman, Connie Cooper, and Judy Rayne. Sally Thornton was chosen by the American Field Service to visit England as our summer exchange student. The wonderful last year as students of Wi Hi went by all too ' quickly. Elections began with those of Senior Officers: President, Frank Lewis; Vice-President, Steve Cooper; Secretary, Linda Curtiss; Treasurer, Betsy Culver; and Historian, Gail Curtiss. The position of Wi Hi News Editor was filled by Noel Farmer. The Tom Tom staff was ably headed by its editor, Susan Howard, and her co-workers: Anne Johnson, assistant editor; Diana Chambers, associate assistant editor; and S. J. Disharoon, business manager. Michael Bloxham again served us as a capable Student Council President. The First Vice-President, Rocky Burnett, organized the monitor system and the assembly programs. We were also proud to have Anne Skirven as president of the Lower Shore Student Council. It was an honor to have as our exchange student, Leila Lindfors, from Finland. We will always remember her as a fine ambassador of her country. Leila reigned as Queen of the Winter Carnival. Many deserved credit for helping to make the Senior Class Play, Gown of Glory, a true success. The four top winners of a current events test, Donald Davis, Frank Lewis, Connie Cooper, and Bruce Downes, were chosen to attend the Herald Tribune Fomm in New York. The entire class spent an enjoyable, rainy day visiting the Mary¬ land legislature in Annapolis. The Junior-Senior Banquet reminded us that we would soon be leaving our high school. We will take with us our cherished memories of the May Dance, the Senior Awards, and especially the Prom. Baccalaureate and Commencement brought our wonderful high school years to a close.
