DEDICATION TO OUR PARENTS To our parents we are indebted for not only the fundamentals of education, but for guiding us ever onward and upward, urging us to conquer life’s problems and attain life's goals. Their influence upon our moral standards, has been a guiding light. Their patience and wise advice has been the impetus for our thoughts, words, and deeds. To you, the parents of the class of 1957, we sincerely dedicate this annual. Editor.................... Assistant Editors......... Secretary-T reasurer...... Business Manager..........
