Message to Class of 1957: The purpose of your education and training at this school was to help make you better citizens, better men and women, and better and more useful members of society. We have given you knowledge, but knowledge in itself is not enough. Much of our knowledge is of material purpose and not spiritual value. You must learn how to live or your education will be vain. You must have an understanding of spiritual values and a strong, substantial purpose in life or you will live in disappointment and despair. I hope your high school has provided you with an education and the knowledge gained here to continue with further studies or to endeavor to Ht yourself into the useful life you will lead after graduating from high school. Although this may mean the end of study, as such, for many of you, it is by no means the end of learning. We know that the years to come and the great school of experience will add much to your store of knowledge. May the education you have received and that which you plan give you independence of char- acter and an intelligently discriminating mind and lead you far along moral, industrial, and intellec- tual roads. L. Merlin Stauffer Message to the Class of 1957: Great eHiort has been made to impart to you much factual knowledge and understanding. In reality this has been but a means to an end and is of small import- ance when we consider the great- er values which you should have derived from your education. In- tegrity, sincerity, humility, respect for your fellow man, and certain- ly the ability to face the many problems of life are of greater consequence. Apply to your daily living what you have learned. Give to life and do not always expect to receive. Learn to enjoy hard work. To each one of you, I wish hap- piness and success. Ralph B. Shankweiler

A Message to the Class of 1957: You have been laying the educational foundation of life for the past twelve years. Little by little the tools of life have been placed into your hands. Your diploma is evidence that you have learned much. You have developed certain skills and mastered the principles necessary for you to lead a good, honest life as a respected, contributing citizen. Please accept my sincere congratulations for these accomplish- ments. At the same time bear in mind that your high school com- mencement signifies only a beginning. Tomorrow you will be the newest employee, the raw recruit, the green freshman, the student nurse, or the new bride. Your achievement will depend upon the use made of the knowledge gained in school. Knowledge and skills are of little value unless applied. To achieve one must set high goals, apply knowledge, work hard, show determination, believe in Divine Guidance, and keep going even in the face of occasional disappointments. Success comes only through earning it. My personal good wishes go with each of you. May you End success and happiness in life. -1 Paul C. Dunkelberger PAUL c.
