On May 23, we left for Washington, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Graef and Mr. and Mrs. Betts. For four days we toured our capital and had fun together. Upon our return we planned our commencement. For twelve years we have worked toward this goal. Now as the time approaches our joy is mixed with sadness. We cannot show how much we appreciate all the kind things everyone had done for us. The sad part of our senior year is trying to say good- by to our class advisor, Mrs. Betts. She will always be an outstanding woman and we shall never forget the love and willingness that she has shown in these past short years. As we go our separate ways into this world, we know Mrs. Betts will always be willing to help us with various problems. Mrs. Betts, the class of 57 loves you and shall never forget your kind and sweet face. Judith Knox Betty Jean Megee Oficc personnel ..W....,-0--wi -qqqg-Z Z
