JOAN DEL PO Joannie” Class Secretary 1; Class Vice President 2, 3; Honor Society; Wide Awake Art Editor 4; Student Council Representative 4; Softball 1, 2, 4, Captain 3; Cheerleader 1; Mirror 1, 2, Assistant Editor 3; Quill and Scroll 3, 4; Chorus 1, 3, 4, Vice President 2; History Club 1; Eorums 3, 4; Art Club 4; Prom Committee Chairman 3, 4; Vanguard 4, Art Editor 2. Dark eyes, a long pony tail, numerous talents, and personality plus, all belong to our Joan. Her hard work and efforts in the interest of old WHS and of her class will be a loss, both to us and to those that remain. Although she doesn’t smoke, the word weed is commonly associated with her. Her path will probably lead to the altar and to family life. The sailor’s wife the sailor’s star shall be. PATRICIA ANN DELUCA Pat” Class Secretary 3; Mirror 1, 4; Chorus 1, 2. Pat's familiarity with the latest dance steps and her knowledge of lyrics to the current hit tunes have always astounded us. She can usually be found in room 15 before school and at noon, dancing and singing away to beat the band. Pat has aided the class in many ways and though her future is as yet undecided, we know she will succeed in whatever she does. A man is always better than a book.” THOMAS STUART EDDY Tom FFA 2, 3, 4. Tom hails from Watertown and though married is determined to finish high school. Even though Tom doesn’t participate in extracurricular activities, he is well liked by all and has made many friends since coming to WHS. The class of ’58 wishes Tom the best of luck in his chosen career, whatever it may be. Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife. JOHN ERNEST EYRE Eyrsie” Class President 4; AA Representative 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball Manager 1, 2; Boys’ State 3; Science Club 2, 3, 4, Vice President 2; French Club 2. Nice Chuck, Johnny, way you pitch.” This is a common expression, for this young lad has led many a victorious war from the mound. He has shown his willingness to work in many other fields, and especially, as senior class president where he piloted our class through a very successful year. Like many, his path leads on to college and then to a position in engineering. Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no fibs.”

SUSAN ANNE COSTELLO Susie Mirror 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 2; Prom Committee 4. Sue is one of the many students in our class who comes to Woodbury from Middlebury. Whenever the class of ’58 sponsors a dance, Sue can be found at the top of a ladder busily streaming crepe paper from one end of the gym to the other. Next fall Sue is off to college where we know she will charm them all. Life is fust one darned thing after another.’’ JUNE PATRICIA COWLES June Basketball 1, 2, 3, Co-Captain 4; Softball 2, 4; Mirror 1, 2, 3, 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Magazine Drive Representative 1, 2, 4. Perhaps June’s two most outstanding characteristics are her studiousness and her ability on the basketball court. As a scholar, June’s grades are good and as an ardent fan of basketball, she is co-captain of the girls’ varsity. Come next fall, June may be found studying at college. No sooner said than done.” SHIRLEY ANN CROWNSHAW Shirl” Basketball 2, 4; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Mirror 1, 2, 4; History Club 1; French Club 2. A typical day for Shirley consists of a new skirt or blouse, a riff with someone, potato chips, mambos, cha-chas, rock 'n roll. Basketball, a jazzy car with squirrel tails (never seen going below 80), and an obsession to be an old maid. Always on the go, Shirley may soon be found as an airline stewardess flying high. To eat is human.” DIANA JOAN DAVIS Peanuts Class Vice President 1; Honor Society; Wide Awake Assistant Editor 4; AA Representative 2; Field Hockey 3, Co-Captain 4; Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, 4; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Mirror 1, 2, Editor 3; Quill and Scroll 3, 4; Girls State 3; History Club 1; French Club 2; Magazine Drive Representative 1, 2, 3, 4. Big surprises come in small packages. That’s our Peanuts, a small bombshell full of vigor. Her work and energy have helped to make the MIRROR and WIDE AWAKE a success. To round out this character, there is intelligence that has kept her high on the honor roll for four years. Although she is small, we can guarantee that she will not lead a life of obscurity. My heart is like a singing bird.”

LORRAINE DF.NISE FRADETTE Lome” Honor Society; Mirror 3, 4; Art Club 4; French Club Treasurer 2. Lorrie, our most attractive senior, is also one of the smartest, being an honor student. Her friendly personality and sense of humor have won her many friends since she came to Woodbury in her sophomore year. Known for her art work, from her sketch pad one day will come fashions to rival those of Dior. There’s nothing more fun than a man.’’ BRUCE GORDON GAVITT Gav” Mirror 2, 3, Sports Editor 4; Boys’ State 3; Chorus 1, 2; Science Club 1, 2; French Club Vice President 2. Red hair sometimes is a sure sign of fire. However, in this case, fire is not temper, but it is an eagerness to work. As sports editor of the Mirror Bruce has proven his ability in the literary field. But he prefers the business field and one day will be found with his feet on a desk smoking a cigar. He was so civil, that nobody thanked him for it.” WILLIAM BURTON GILSON, JR. Billy” Baseball Manager 3; Mirror 3, 4; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Art Club 4; French Club 2. Blond hair and a volatile laugh would easily distinguish Billy from a crowd. He has a fanatical interest in science and can generally be found in the lab or science room devising some gadget to fly him and his cohorts, the Mellettes, to the moon. His chosen route leads on to college but his exact future is undecided. Bless the man who first invented sleep.” GAIL LYNN JUDSON Gail- Class Executive Committee 3; Honor Society; Cheerleader 3; FHA President 4; Mirror 2, 3, Technical Editor 4; Chorus 1, 2, 4; French Club 2; Prom Committee 3, 4. Gail is noted for her ability to dance and her aspiration to be a dancing instructor. She has performed for many school events and was a cheerleader in her junior year. Her bright, cheery smile and her pleasant manner have lightened many a classroom. We feel sure that some day Arthur Murray will have to move over and share the limelight with Gail. hi this bright little package, you've a dime's worth of something known only to God.”
