CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1957 It is but a few short years ago that you, the Class of 1957, came lo high school. Each of you had a task — to carve and polish with the minute care of the sculptor, the features and qualities of your life. As year by year the design was carved more indelibly, the individuality of your character was wrought. Here gentleness and honor, tenderness and truth, kindness and patience, along with perseverance and understanding, faith and loyalty were combined into the masterpiece which you now take away with you. In high school the opportunities for you to work on your masterpiece presented themselves. They were the faithful hours of study, the tireless efforts in behalf of play or publication, the persistent activity for club or team, the conscious development of citizenship and responsibility. And, along with the opportunities came the encouragement, guidance, praise, and caution of the faculty and administration. It is into an uncertain world that you go. Terror and anguish are rampant; unhappiness and uneasiness are widespread; lawlessness and injustice are prevalent. The physical and moral standards which purify and elevate your character will provide you with the courage and hope to use in the untried times you will face. May God s blessings sustain you. J. WESLEY SOUTHARD. Principal Freeport Junior-Senior High School 10
