CHESTER T. RAY As this yearbook is printed, you, the student body, will have been asso- ciated with Silver Lake for two years. It is my firm conviction that the vast opportunities offered by the school are beginning to be felt in many, many directions. Academically you have been challenged to do more work. Vocationally, Silver Lake offers one of the greatest opportunities in the area. Practical observation indicates that you are finding this opportunity and are begin- ning to make real progress. However, we have just scratched the surface of the real potential that your school offers. The future is in your hands, students. To make the most of it you must recognize your opportunities and make the most of them. It is wholly up to you! Coming together is a beginning,- Keeping together is progress; Working together is success. —Henry Ford A D M I N I S T R A T I O N FRANCIS M. MORAN Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. These biblical words have formed the basis for education down through the ages. Our most difficult task is to find a way to show the young and inexperienced what the experienced, but not necessarily old, eyes of the adult know to be the right way. It is the hope of every teacher that each new class will find something to give purpose to their schooling and that as graduates they will be better prepared to fit into the adult world. LLOYD M. CREIGHTON The class of 1957 has chosen a very significant class motto: Youth Replies; ' I can ' . Can expresses primarily a posi- tive power of acting. Thoreau has said; Man ' s capacities have never been meas- ured; nor ore we to judge of what he can do by any precedents, so little has been tried. No man -can do all things. The class of 1957 as a group should certainly say I can. Possunt, quid posse vindentue. (They can because they think they can.) I sin- cerely trust that you will.

' - 0 ' Dedication Each one of us in this graduating class of 1957 is truly thankful that we have had the good fortune to be under the able guidance of Mrs. Churchill and Mr. Hand during our two years at Silver Lake. They have given freely of their understanding and wisdom in an effort to guide us, no matter what the problem might be. As we come to the close of our senior yeor we sincerely hope that our growth in maturity will moke them feel that their efforts on our behalf hove been justified. The influence of a wise teacher does not terminate when a student graduates. It continues to be felt through the years. On many occossions the counsel and advice given during that period will linger in our minds that we may profit from it. Mrs. Churchill and Mr. Hand, in gratitude and appreciation for the unselfish and ever present leadership which you have given us, we dedicate to you, this, our edition of The Torch. The Seniors
