Queridos amigos mios: I little thought when I received my diploma from Palo Alto High School in 1910, that I would be sending a farewell message to the Madrono of 1957, this time as a graduating teacher. I loved Paly then; I love her now. The spirit of wholesomeness, friendship, understanding, and opportunity which existed then are still abundantly present for those who care to enjoy them. The buildings may be different, but they represent only the outer shell. Paly lives on through the years in the character, loyalty and enthusiasm of her students, past and present, and her faculty. These qualities have always been and always will be characteristic of our school. I hope that in the future, when you look back on 1957, that your mind will fill with love and gratifude as you realize what Paly tried to express to you. May hard work and success enter your experience in reason- able amounts, and may you be truly happy. Sincerely, Lina Jacob Guerrero Mrs. Guerrero Dedication The Class of 1957 wishes to dedicate this Madrono to you, Mrs. Guerrero and Mrs. Younkin, whose years of service to Palo Alto Senior High School amount to more than three-quarters of a century. Mrs. Younkin To the class of ’57: I would like to express my appreciation for your co-operation in making many worth-while undertakings successful. During the past three years we have worked together in the classroom, in World Service and have played together on the tennis court. It is my hope that in the process you have learned that happiness is a by-product of service. You have done well in fhe past. Your success and achieve- ments in the future will be even more notable. The best of luck and God bless you all. Mrs. Fay L. Younkin

Mr. Rumpel says... I am honored to have been invited to write the foreword to the 1957 Madrono The faculty and staff members join with me in wishing the class of 1957, Paly's largest graduating class, success and happiness. It is my fervent hope that the young men and women who attend Palo Alto High School always find a sympathetic understanding of their needs, happiness in their work and many rich opportunities for useful learning. It is my prayer that the faculty of this school exert a wholesome influence on the ideals, the conduct and the ambitions of all the youth who enter their classrooms. Every right you have inherited as youth in a free society carries with it a respon- sibility. The problems you will have to solve are not the problems to which my generation has found solutions. You will need understanding, patience and tolerance to test new learning against old experience. May Paly High with its classrooms, shops, laboratories, gymnasia and playing fields remind you of America's con- tinuing indebtedness to its free system of public schools open to all the children of all the people. I wish to express my appreciation and that of the staff to Miss Barbara Woods, Madrono Editor, and her staff; to Miss Barbara Norman, Commissioner of Publica- tions, and to Mr. Paul McCalib, Madrono sponsor for their long hours of work in pro- ducing the 1957 Madrono. It is a storehouse of memories and will become more valuable as years go by. The seniors are joining an illustrious group of graduates. I hope they will always have pride in their school. In a spirit of confidence we who are to return to Paly wish you the best of good fortune. 2 — RAY P. RUPPEL
