PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS By Donald Graves We, the class of 1956, wish to extend our sincere appre- ciation to our teachers, our parents, our friends, and all the townspeople for their willingness to help us during our high school days. The past four years have been merely stepping stones to our future. This future will be an individual challenge to each and everyone of us; but because we have built our foundation on your guidance, we will not fear what the future will bring us. As we leave Black River, we take with us memories that will never be dimmed. Here we have spent the most eventful days of our lives, which will never be forgotten. Class of '57, we leave the leadership in your hands. Use it wisely; and like us, you will realize and obtain its full value. JUNIOR RESPONSE By Bruce Wyman We, the class of '57, in bidding you, the class of '56, farewell, wish you success in all your ventures and a happy, prosperous future. We will try to carry out the duties and responsibilities which you have left to us, as successfully as you have. Looking up to you for security and guidance for these three years has been wonderful.
