THE LANCERS S '57 FAREWELL, WIDNEY A silver space ship stands in the desert. In a few minutes it will give off an unbelievable amount of energy as it zooms toward its goal. Yet, into that spaceship has gone years of work, research, testing, com- putations-and an overpowering desire to conquer the unknown. lt's that way with us. We, the graduating class of Summer, '57, are ready to leave Widney and begin our lives in the years ahead, each working toward his own goal. What lies ahead? Success, we hope. New experiences and new problems to handle. But whatever awaits us, our years at Widney have given us a foundation on which we can face the future unafraid. The teachers at Widney have given us wonderful opportunities- opportunities to know about the subjects they teach, opportunities to know them as friends, opportunities to better understand our selves, opportunities to be active in organizations, and opportunities for leader- ship. We've had chances here that we may never have anywhere else. Whether we've taken advantage of them as much as possible has been up to us. As so many have before us, we leave with mixed emotion. We are sad to close the door on one of the most important parts of our lives, and we are happy because of the excitement of discovering a whole new part. To sum up our feelings, l'd like to quote the words of a man some of you may have heard of-Dr. Joseph Pomeroy Widney. Amigos mios, Goodnight for the day that has been. Good morning for the day that is to be. Roger Cole Senior Class President A SEE .Bibi 911 J 'S 'X

S '57 FAREWELL, SENIORS To you, the graduating classes of 1957, I extend my warmest con- gratulations and fondest wishes for a happy and successful future. I feel a particular attachment to these 1957 classes, Winter and Summer, not only because you are the first to graduate under my administration, but because I have known most of you so well and for such a long time. I will remember each one of you as an individual and as a personality. With time, your names may become a little hazy in my memory, but not your faces nor the different incidents I associate with each one of you. You have indicated by your record here that you are ready to go on to face whatever life has in store for you. Somebody once said, What you are to be, you are now becoming. The habits, the attitudes and the aspirations you have developed at Widney will determine, to a large extent , the kind of adult you will become. In this respect, I have great confidence in your future. Alfonso B. Perez Principal
