After school is also a good time for students and teachers to catch up on their work. Another bell!

MR. WALTER SLATER Superintendent MRS. BETTY MILLER Office Secretary Mrs. Miller’s efficiency as secretary and her willingness to be generally helpful have won her the appreciation of everyone at Bement High. ADMINISTRATION It is a distinct honor to be asked to write a short column for the BIM of 1957. I have always been happy to see the growth that high school people have made in becoming seniors. It seems that they have learned to cooperate, think, work, overcome disappointments, and be ready to accept the responsibilities of being an adult. We regret to have them leave high school, but we are happy in their accomplishments in later life. It has always seemed to me that a good guide for people of any age might be these quotations: ‘•This above all; to thine own self be true . . . thou cans’t not then be false to any man.” - Shakespeare ‘‘Oh would some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us.” -Burns Life would be pleasant and success will come easier to those who have the right attitude and who do a little more than is expected of them. 9fcJ JbZ J-iM 8
