Principal “Education is not a sea of dead ideas containing all that has flowed into it through the ages and having no outlet; it is rather, a great moving stream that not only has been somewhere but also is going somewhere. —Applegate, To mention the occupational opportunities of the Broad Top region to you graduates is like mentioning the occupational opportunities of a desert to a forester. That is. they arc nil. However, what we do have on the Broad Top is a fine school system, and from this you must have gathered sufficient knowledge to go else- where and garner a livelihood. We hope we have in someway helped you set an objective or ideal at which to “shoot . We, your faculty, feel that you have attained at least, the minimum knowledge for a successful career. Nevertheless, I must caution you it is not so much the amount of knowledge that you have attained, but how you use what you have. That is all-important. Therefore, use your knowledge to your greatest advantage. With that as a closing thought 1 wish the Class of 1957 all the success possible. O. W. TROY. Principal Eunice Horton, a graduate of the Class of 1954. is secretary to the principal. In addition to her secre- tarial work, Eunice performs numer- ous other duties for teachers and students too.

SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Today, many have come to believe that science can be the solution to all the problems which confront them. Science can be an instrument used to aid us in solving our problems, but never will it be a worthy substitute for the friendships developed between you and those with whom you came in contact while attending the Robertsdale High School. Science is subject to constant change; friendship de- veloped and nurtured here is eternal. Therefore, these four years have been most important. Every graduating class representing a segment of a generation must be free to act for itself in all situations as man has done previously. This graduating class of the year 1957 must be competent and courageous so as to meet the complexities of life as the occasions require. Your parents, your teachers, your community, and all concerned directly and indirectly with your education are but contributing factors in this preparation. You are fast arriving to that place in life where your actions will be evaluated. You will determine the type of world to which the graduating classes of the future gener- ations have access. G. ALLEN HOOVER Acting Supervising Principal “Yes. some build bridges, some build roads. These bring security, and joy. I prefer to build the character Of a priceless girl, or boy.” —Ritter

Supervisor Of Elementary Education Congratulations to you. boys and girls. You will now take your place in life, responsible for the development of the future. What part are you going to play on the stage of advancement? What arc you going to do to make the world a peaceful world? What experiences have you had? What special memories will you share with others? Memories of yesterday can serve you with great distinction, perhaps, as you use them to help others to fathom and to fashion the present. The greatest tribute you may be able to pay to yesterday and to those who helped you make it is to turn the past to good account, never revere it indiscriminately. Glorifying yesterday for its own sake can be a sterile venture. Yesterday is no longer yours. Only today is within your control. Do your best and your memories will be proud memories. WARD S. TAYLOR Supervisor of Elementary Education “Education is a companion which no misfortune can decrease, no crime destroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism enslave; at home a friend, abroad an introduction; in solitude a solace, in society an ornament. —Anon.
