The Pembroke College class of 1958 graduated under Dean Nancy Duke Lewis and Brown University President Barnaby Keeney. During their academic tenure they enjoyed extracurricular activities such as the theatre group Sock and Buskin, the Honor Council for maintaining moral standards, and the newspaper The Pembroke Record. Students also celebrated Father-Daughter Weekend and Spring Weekend. Nationally, during their senior year, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was created, and internationally, Nikita Khrushcev became the Premier of the Soviet Union, as the Cold War and the space race intensified.
