Comstock High School - Corral Yearbook (Comstock, MI)

We, the class of 1957, dedicate this our annual to the memory of Mr. Willard DeJonge. He was a man who, though over-burdened with local and state problems of education, found time to become acquainted with many of us and to discuss with us our problems of growing up. In his quiet but firm way he inspired us to new heights and encouraged those who were in need. No other person has lived his profession with more vigor and enthusiasm. He believed so sincerely in the importance of a good educational program that he gave his all - yes, even his life for it. We know that his life and accomplishments will have an everlasting in- fluence on our success. In deep gratitude we offer this yearbook as a small monument to a great educator. » 4

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE It is always with a mixed feeling of pride and sorrow that we approach the end of another school year. Proud that another group of young people have prepared themselves to assume their places in the world; sorry that we no longer will have our seniors who have worked for and with us these many years. But that is the law of progress; old places and faces must continually be replaced. As the graduating class begins the task of maintaining and improving our great country, other students will carry on the work they have so nobly begun. So good-by and good luck. May you have all the success and hap- piness you rightly deserve.
