To The Class of 1957: Congratulations and best wishes to the graduating class of 1957! As you leave Whiting High School for new worlds to conquer , you take with you no simple formula for success and happiness. The same standards which have measured your accomplishments in high school will determine your future. Your rewards will be only as great as your integrity and faith, ambition and ability. In a comparatively short period of time, all of you will enjoy the privileges and assume the responsibilities of an adult world. Your four years at Whiting High School have been planned to guide and prepare you for such a step. The extent to which you have valued this opportunity will be evidenced by your ability to serve yourself, your community, and your country. I earnestly urge each one of you to take advantage of every opportunity to grow intellectually,... learning need never stop; strengthen yourself spiritual- ly in order to live righteously, and cherish the privilege of living in a country where you are not denied the right to either. Whiting High School will miss all of you and wishes you every success and happiness. G. O. BURMAN Superintendent Compliments of F. W. WOOLWORTH COMPANY 15 GILBERT A. BRINDLEY Attorney-at-Law

You of the class of 1957 have reached an age of decision — you are at the cross roads of youth and adulthood. In the Midwest, as in most parts of America, a high school education is necessary for future progress up the ladder of success. A most important period, your high school life, is behind you. Even though you should end your formal education at this time, what you have accom- plished and accumulated educationally in the past four years will, in a great measure, either aid or deter you in your struggle for existence. The class of 1957 will no longer continue as a group but will take diverse paths through the future years. Some of you will turn to industry, some with enter business, some will become homemakers while others will continue in the field of learning to prepare themselves better for their journey. No matter which way your choice may take you, the attitudes, the character traits, and the skills you have developed in these years will determine the speed of ascendency in your chosen field. Above all, it is most important that you continue to be good citizens, obeying the laws of God and the Land. God speed and bless you along the way. RAY P. GALLIVAN Principal To the seniors: I hope you have found your four years of high school very beneficial and stimulating. They are years that cannot be relived. I hope your contacts with your fellow students and teachers have been pleasant and enjoyable. As you go out into the community, take pride in earning your place in a democracy which depends upon the best efforts of everyone of us. Serve your community, state, and nation to the best of your capacity. If you are honest, eager, and willing to take on your civic and national duties, then your country will mean more to you. Good luck; and do not forget your old friends and teachers. Sincerely, E. L. WATKINS Assistant Principal
