Your constant guidance and genuine interest in our work have been a great source of encouragement to us, Uncle Ion. Only through your completely un- selfish sharing of your many abilities and your tireless devotion to your work could our school be what it is. Your example and influence will inspire -us to greater heights always. 7 With high hopes, we present to you, our '57 ROUND-UP. Mere words cannot express the heartfelt joy we have had, or the moments of discouragement we have felt. All of these, our book of memories records. Our sincere hope is that you will enjoy this, our annual, as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for you.
