SAMUEL DEICH Principal The thought I would leave with the members of the Class of 1957 is expressed in this bit of verse: One ship drives east, another west, With the self-same winds that blow. ' Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales Which decides the way to go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of Fate As we voyage along through life. ' Tis the will of the sou that decides the goal And not the calm or the strife. My heartiest congratulations to each of you upon your graduation from Memorial High School. May the doors of your future be the kind that open the way to health, happiness, and prosperity.

ERNEST E. THOMAS Vice Principal Memorial High School welcomed Mr. Thomas in the year of 1928 as a teacher of American and modern European history. Later he be- came Vice Principal and has held this office under four principals: Mr. Mack, Mr. March, Mr. Small, and Mr. Deich. From the time he entered its doors, he has been loyal to M. H. S., has served its purpose faithfully, and has been a friend to all others who have entered and departed with a bit of M. H. S. spirit. This year, Mr. Thomas himself has decided to leave through these same doors, taking with him memories of our school and of the many varieties of students he has known. As we ourselves leave with a bit of M. H. S. spirit, we will also leave with fond memories of Mr. Thomas, to whom we, the class of ' 57, dedicate this page— in appreciation.

A Backward Glance What did I get out of high school? This is a question we all ask our- selves, as the door of our high school days swings to a close. Of course, we all acquired some knowledge from our academic work, b ut there was another important part of our education. We learned to make de- cisions for ourselves and to get along with others. These qualities give us a firm foundation for the future. Build on that foundation, and the door will never be closed completely, for the past will be linked with the future. Helen Boucher, Co-editor A Forward Look Our years at Memorial High are now almost at an end. We will have many new problems to face, new friends to keep, new years in which to build success. The door of life is not an easy one to open if you lack the will or courage to do so, and you cannot get through a door without opening it first. AA. H. S. has opened this door for us, and we are all ready, willing, and able to cross the challenging threshold. May the memories which this book will recall always renew in us the courage and spirit to face and conquer the obstacles of the future. Lester Gamier, Co-editor
