Delavan High School - Comet Yearbook (Delavan, WI)

In June of 1957, the eighty-third and last high school class will be graduated from Dclavan High School. A new district embracing about 100 square miles in the Dclavan area will have eroctcd a modern new building by the time another school term begins. The needs for the new building have been recognized for a numbor of years. The decision to build it is fine testimony to the intelligent progress that has long characterized civic and economic activity in this community. It shows, along with other fine attributes, that people recognize that communities are not limited to the provincialism of municipal boundaries. Most of the undorclassmen in our school are looking forward to the pleasant prospect of school life in a modern, new structure. Yet their anticipation is modified by the unpleasant and somewhat guilty fooling people have when they reject old friends. There are many experiences associated with going to school, besides classroom activity, that become woven into the personality patterns of the students who have boen enrolled there. There are activities, traditional in naturo, whose future consideration become the memories that give people a feoling of belonging and, subsequently, give them stability in their regard for themselves. Delavan High School has become an integral part of the lives of former students numbering in tho thousands. It is no less a part of the lives of tho students and teachers who after June 1957 will no longer be connected with it. I am being both obvious and sentimental, but I hope truthful, when I suggest that Delavan High School will continue to exist for years to come. Its length of life in the hearts of those who spent their school years there will be considerable. But of even greator longevity will bo the positive effect that its graduates have had on the life in the communities of which they have become a part. C. H. WILEMAN
