FOREWORD A centennial year is a time for looking back . . . for remembering the ways of living, the fashions, the ideas, and the achievements of long ago. It is a time for remembering our town’s history . . . the small river trading post carved from the wilderness, the frontier boom lumber town, and the thriving farm community of 10,000 of today, with its progressive business district and 82.200.000 school system. The celebration of the 100th anniversary of our town, Caruthersville, revives the golden days of yesteryears. A centennial year is not only a time for looking hack: it is a time for looking forward, too . . . for reviewing the ways of living, the ideas, the happy events, the fine achievements of today. The centennial celebration of our town also spotlights the Caruthersville of today. It is for these reasons that we, the 1957 Cotton Blossom staff, have chosen for our yearbook theme. TODAY AND YESTERDAY. In this, our centennial edition, we have tried in words and pictures to capture the special events which were the happy remembrances of this 1957 school year — our TODAY . . . against the background of the past . . . our YESTERDAY. With pride in our past and with hope for our future, we dedicate this 1957 Cotton Blossom to our town in its centennial year.
