To the Class of '57: In the not too distant past only about 10'Z: ofthe pupils of high school age were enrolled in the high schools of the country. Today approximately 80'Za enter high school, but seldom do more that 4595 remain to be graduated. The goals of secondary education should be set at a level high enough to meet the needs of all groups of students, whether they be for college preparation, for entry into business and industry, for the mentally retarded, the physically handicapped or for the gifted students. We are meeting the first two of these goals in a satisfactory manner and it is most encouraging to note that much prog- ress is being made at the local, state and national levels to meet the latter needs in the not too distant future. When this is a reality, we shall then have approached close to the basic philosophy that educa- tion should be preparation for life and citizenship for everyone at all levels of intelligence. john P. Krick Supervising Principal For the hard work you have done here, for efforts expended, for goals achieved, you of the graduat- ing class of 1957 are to be commended. We all have faith and hope that life will be bet- ter, fuller and more abundant for all mankind. Your reward and satisfaction in life will depend upon your application of the goals which you have achieved in the Public School of Cocalico Union. My heartiest congratulations to you, and every good wish for your success and happiness. Carl Musselman, President Cocalico Union School Board 5 Messages Authority Paul S. Lesher ...........

Assistant Administrators To The Class of '57 Graduation from High School is one of the most important steps in your lives. The diploma you will receive is written evidence of certain required work satisfactorily com- pleted. I This diploma serves as a gateway to in- numerable opportunities and walks oflife. Choosing the direction you wish to take IS often a dlflicult task. However, in all walks of life certain factors and principles may be gainfully considered and applied. ' In this world of rapid change most impor- tant of these, I believe, is to learn to get a ong with our fellowmen. At no time in history has this factor been more important. All the advances made by modern society can be of no avail, if consid- eration for the welfare of all people fails to be the predominant factor. With this thought in mind, I wish you all a happy, useful life in the years that follow. Ralph F. Lutz Administrative Assistant To The Class of '57 Many written documents have played sig- nificant roles in shaping the course of history. In England, the Magna Carta is pre-domin- ant, in the United States, the Bi l of Rights takes precedence. The document you are eligible to receive from the Cocalico Union School District will never be as significant as the aforementioned documents, but, to you, the achievement and distinction of having received a high school diploma should be paramount. This document stands as a symbol of your having received the tools of knowledge nec- essary for life. It further stands as a symbol of democracy in that you have been entitled to an education which has given you the tools with which to think, not the thoughts you are forced to accept. Your major obli ation, in accepting this document is to make use ofthese tools in a way that your children will still have the op- portunity of becoming a high school gradu- ate. Donald F. Peters Administrative Assistant 7 To The Class of '57 You, the class of 1957, have chosen as your motto- Knowledge Is the Key to Success.
