TO THE GRADUATIN G CLASS The Prineipal,s Message The class of nineteen fifty-seven faces a propitious future despite political tensions and world turmoil. Apparently society is never without factions and feuds. For fifty years I can personally remember continued strife or appre- hension of strife. Research in history even prior to the dawn of nations reveals that tribes and clans preyed incessantly on one another. Nevertheless national organi- zation and global control breed certitude of peace rather than imminence of war. For three years your school has endeavored to encourage you to in- terrogate the past, to scrutinize its tenets, to question its methods, to analyze its motives, to doubt its sanctity, to learn from its lessons, to use its discoveries, and to press forward upon its time-tested truths. The present is the time to occupy completely. It is not intended that you shall live in the past, but that you shall consciously profit from the progress of past generations. At the turn of the century, an energetic United States Presi- dent advocated the strenuous life of which he was a notable exponent. Other great leaders have called for a full life, while thoughtful educators have long sought a contributing life. Your school hopes that you may have a purposeful life, the meaning of which is evident not only to you but to all with whom you associate. The present days glide by ever so swiftly, for there is nothing more fleet than time in which there is no turning back. Purposeful living is the keystone in the arch of progress, whereas progress constitutes the chief ingredient in the masonry of contentment. Hence to occupy the present to the utmost for purpose- ful living is a vital objective. To live too much in the past smacks of senility. To be occupied exclu- sively with the present is mundane. To have faith in the future is benign. Even as it is impossible to conceive of the beginning of time, so it is incredible to imagine the end of time. Your class is thereby currently precisely pivoted in the center of time with an enigmatic future fully as alluring as the unhallowed past. No one can be certain of his future role. Faith is needed. There must be trust. Life-long preparation is a solid foundation for trust. May the class of nine- teen fifty-seven continue to learn. May you vividly remember the past, wisely live in the present, and confidently look forward to the future. Qlkaf- C-WXQMJJQM.

IN GUR HEARTS AND MINDS In April of 1956, we were saddened by the tragic death of William Henry Thornton of the class of 1957. We respected him in the classroom and ad- mired him as he participated in varsity sports. With athletic skill as his outstand- ing achievement, he won a permanent place in the hearts and minds not only of his teammates but of all who admired him for what he really was, a true example of American youth. To the memory of WILLIAM HENRY THORNTON we dedicate this Yearbook.
