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.

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.

 Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” —Longfellow To many of us the primary purpose of a book is to bring to the reader an element of pleasure, or to the more serious-minded, perhaps a bit of wisdom. In this, the 1957 Tiger, my staff and I have endeavored to bring to you a source of pleasure: pleasure for those who have graduated by furnishing a reminder of the best years of their lives , pleasure for our graduating class by presenting a monument to our achievement, and pleasure to those who have yet to graduate by giving them a goal to which to look forward. Though wisdom may be a secondary purpose of this book, yet we feel we can even furnish this to our underclassmen, for we sincerely hope that they may be guided by our successes and go on to profit by our mistakes. The work behind this 17th edition of the Tiger has been accomplished not by one or two, but by several. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely tnamc these people. First and most of all I wish to thank Miss Marcocci for her invaluable aid as advisor of our staff; Dorothy Cresswcll. our associate editor; Annette Gan- non, our business manager, and to all those who have in any way contributed in the publication of this edition. I am sincerely grateful for the cooperation rendered so willingly. RONALD WOOD. Editor
