Wanamaker, for all the time and help you have given us the past four years. Your counseling and advice has helped us immeasurably as a class and as individuals to succeed with more and better achievements. During these past four short years not a cross word passed your lips: patience, guidance, and understand- ing were your trademarks. Your open door to all our problems, and above all, your cheerfulness has been an inspiration to us all. You have instilled in us a school spirit which, since its birth as a tiny spark in our freshman year, grew to full maturity this past senior year. So, as a small token of our appreciation, we would like to dedicate this 1957 Cehisean to you.

For the Class of 1957 this is a commence- ment surrounded with many challenges. Never before has the world been filled with more vital and energetic challenges in the areas of scientific development, world peace, and hu- man-relations. New frontiers are opening in these areas at this very moment. Members of the Class of 1957, along with other graduates all over the nation, will rise to meet the chal- lenge in each instance. From your group will come persons with new and startling solutions to scientific problems, persons with the vision of a world without war, and persons with the key to the brotherhood of man. Whatever your contribution, may be, your happiness will depend upon how well you meet these challenges. The final measure of your success will not be made in terms of your solutions to the problems you encounter but, rather, that you have faced the problems iquarely and that you have given your very est. Kenneth A. Berg Assistant Principal The days that lie immediately ahead are important ones. Most of the members of the Class of 1957, realizing this, have organized their plans and are ready to proceed with them quickly and efficiently. The Central High School faculty hopes this year's seniors have made Wise use of the time spent in high school and that they are now ready to meet the problems of adult life. Also. it is hoped they have sought the counsel and advice of parents, teachers, and friends in making their plans and decisions. The vigor, optimism, and enthusiasm of youth are bound to succeed if coupled with wise and intelli- gent guidance from those already experienced in life's problems. Best wishes to each of you! May your future plans develop as you have anticipated them. Harold T. Lehto Assistant Principal
