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

L. W. DIXON TO THE STUDENTS: As we approach the end of another school year, it is gratifying to look back upon the accomplishments of our graduating seniors. As students they have had experiences in many phases of our educational program: academic, athletic, musical, social and numerous others. Those who have succeeded in any of these facets of school life have learned, I know, that the road to success is not always an easy one. It entails hard work, pcrserverance, and the will to succeed. I congratulate them and sincerely wish their continued success in whatever they may undertake. Those of you who plan to be with us next year are eagerly looking forward to our new high school. Entrance into a new building does not in itsolf guarantee that you will obtain a good education. It is, rather, the attitude with which you enter that school, and the effect which you put forth in that school that will determine how much you will benefit from the new facilities. Good luck to all of you for an interesting and profitable coming year. L. W. Dixon, Principal The work of the office staff is little known to the average student, yet its smooth functioning is essential to the operation of our school. For many years Mrs. Ann Vaughn has filled this position with a quiet efficiency and a modest charm which have endeared her to everyone. Mrs. Haak was her assistant. - S - Mrs. Vaughn and Mrs. Haak
