Classmate News for June
Classmates Bill and Sandy Kerwin, out in Raleigh, NC, have been waxing nostalgic about our Class of '58, now that June is here and it has been almost 61 years since our graduation from High School. Since their grandaughter is about to graduate herself from high school, Bill and Sandy's thoughts are of their own senior year. They have come up with some memorable dates and wonder if you agree with them on the accuracy of their memory. If you are moved to do so, you can send either Bill Kerwin or Sandy Canton Kerwin a message, right from this website, and let them know whether or not you share their recollection of the following dates:
5-3-57 Junior Prom
11-23-57 Sadie Hawkins Dance
12-21-57 Christmas Ball
5-10-58 Tropical Dance
5-30-58 Senior Prom
6-5-58 Graduation
The Webmaster can vouchsafe for the accuracy of June 5, 1958 for the date of our graduation; but he is uncertain about the other dates.

... that today is Marilyn Monroe’s Birthday (1926)? Norma Jeane Dougherty was an American actress, singer and model. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. In the years and decades following her death, Monroe has often been cited as a pop and cultural icon as well as an eminent American sex symbol.

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
-- Marilyn Monroe
"You'll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in."
-- Mandy Hale

Myths both pro and con are easy to come by -- so we'll cover both sides of the issue in this article. Here's the truth about four popular ones:
