MOUNTZ MARY N. VON STETTEN Member Secretary Message From The President To the class of 1957 falls the distinction of being the first class to graduate from the new Junior-Senior High School. Although their stay in the new structure has been rather short, I believe there will be memories that they will cherish for many years. We, your school directors, are endeavoring to furnish you with the best educational facilities that our community can afford. However, we can only furnish these facilitiesg so it depends on you, the student body,' to utilize them. We feel sure if both tlte educa- tional and physical facilities that the new school has to offer, are utilized to the utmost, then you have shown your appreciation to your community. Harry P. Snyder, President 6

RAYMOND H. KOCH SuperinTenden'r's Message We are not unmindful that trying days and world shaking events are days of tremen- dous opportunities and serious responsibilities. In these days Columbia High School, along with other organizations of influence and power for good, assumes its responsibilities, and with eyes wide open and its face to the front, it aims to take its share and carry its load in the developing of the biggest, the noblest, and the best in its students, that they, in the midst of world misunderstanding, may be prepared to meet the opportunities and face the responsibilities with credit to themselves and to Columbia High School. You are the first class to graduate from the new Columbia High School. To you, there- fore, is given a challenge upon your graduation to build a tradition for your school. A tradition of service to your country and to your God is yours to build. Opportunities will come and go, but you will need to see them and to seize them if they are to be yours. Responsibilities you cannot evade, but how you meet them will determine your destiny. Life can be beautiful with meaning to the extent that you show your scars as a result of winning your battles with opportunity and responsibility in service- to humanity and in glorifying God. To this end Columbia High School has served you. You can build a life that will bring honor to your parents, your fellowmen, and Glory to God if you build upon a strong faith in God and the use of prayer, faith's medium of communion with God.
