Class officers were: President, Nelson Lewis;Vice-President, Jim Shaw; Secretary, Alice Hoal; Treasurer, Louise Humbert. In our Junior year we sold Brant's milk. Our first big thrill was choosing and re– ceiving our class rings. They simply were the best ever. Next came our St. Patrick's Dance on March 14, 1958, and then our Junior play, "What A Life," under the direction of Mr. Jack Phethean.
