Upon graduation from Perkiomen School, you will hear many learned individuals speak con- cerning your future. As your Class advisor, I have only these thoughts that I would like to send along with you. Perkiomen School has tried to give you a well- rounded program to adequately prepare you for the years to come. You will soon discover that education has no ending and knows no boundaries. Some day you will stop growing physically, but your mental growth will continue for the rest of your lives. I hope that at Perkio- men you have realized that one can not stand still if he is to achieve his aims in life. I trust that you will lift your sights to a definite goal and will never relax your efforts while moving along the road to success. Be ready to extend yourselves above the min- imum requirements. Remember, a little work To the Class of I957 never hurt anyone. Inches make champions is a good motto to keep in view. The extra time and energy that you apply after a task appears to be completed will reap many rewards. It will be up to each one of you to carry on the repu- tation of scholastic integrity which is Perkiomen's highest ideal. It has indeed been an honor to serve as your class advisor. It has been a pleasure becoming acquainted with all of you, and I will treasure the many bright moments of our association. From the cooperation shown during the year, I feel certain that the members of the Class of 1957 will distinguish themselves in the future years. I only hope that my small contribution will help you on your way. With my most sin- cere wishes for your every success, DAVID D. DETAR, JR., Class Advisor
