DMINISTRATION SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE MR, WILLIAM C, FOSTER To the Class of 1957: Once again it is time to say goodbye to another Senior Class and to wish them well as they leave their Alma Mater and go forth to seek their careers in the years that lie before them. l would urge each one to continue his formal education if possible, andl would challenge you to take the experiences that are to be yours as you journey into the future and make of those experiences a worthy life. Undergraduates, college entrance examinations are becoming more difficult each year, The number of qualified students applying is one-third to one-half more than the colleges can accommodate. That means, if a pupil in high school plans on going to a standard college, he must be graduated well up among the honor students, Apply yourself now, and you will be prepared, MRS, VIRGINIA HUMPHREY School Department Secretary Sponsored by WASHBURN TRUST COMPANY

But let's not just look at the whole world, let's look at our own country and ask our- selves, What is happening? Why do two out of every three marriages end with a divorce? Why are two out of ten high school students going to be alcoholics in later life? Why are our mental institutions overcrowded? We, as high school students, are following the examples set by our parents and our children will follow us, lt just seems to be getting worse all the time, we, as free citizens, are taking our freedom for granted, Do we realize that when this yearbook goes to press, our young boys, just out of high schoo may be fighting in a Third World War? If this really happens, man, with his powerful weapons, is capable of ruining all of mankind. May we all, with serious minds, keep our eyes looking toward heaven and pray. Pray that soon, if possible, we will all have the peace of mind that comes only when the nations of the world have united in peace, I would like to sincerely thank Mrs. Bull for her untiring efforts and every member of the staff who have given so much of their time in making this yearbook possible.

Some of the outstanding projects this year have been the making of a trophy case for the trophies won by various activity groups, the making of a schedule for noon hours, during which dancing, basketball, and ping-pong were all supervised by Council members, the revising of the Beaveretre Handbook, and the Career Day held on May 1, The members of the Student Council wish to thank our advisor, Principal Burkett, for all his guidance through a very success- ful year, BIKINI C A C N 0 D K Y E at.. a.I' If C A U L N E T S E R ttxx-.
