OAK LEAVES

FOREWORD

\Y/e, as Seniors, are proud to present this 1957 Oak

Leaves. Along with it, we wish to acknowledge the en­

couragement given us by our parents, teachers, and com­

munity, and to express our sincere thanks for their guid­

ance and counsel throughout the years.

As \Ve leave our school, we are aware of the priceless

influence it has had over our ltves. Laughter and work

woven together, our school days have become a part

of us. \~ e leave this annual-and with us we take mem­

ones and tdeals that will last a lifetime.

\V/e, the Semors of 1957, do proudly dedicate

this annual to our sponsor, Miss Rose Slain.

\V/ith patience and wisdom M1ss Slain has led us

through our high school years. We sincerely ap­

preciate the time and effort she has spent with us

as a class and the interest she has shown to us as

indivtduals.

Thank you, Miss Slam. To you we dedicate this

1957 Oak Leaves.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS

You, the high school graduates, are going to carry on what we adults have started, you will sit where we are sitting, and when we are gone you will attend to those things which we think are important. \Y/e may adopt all the policies we please, but how they will be earned out depends upon you. You will assume control of our communities, states, and nation. You will take over our churches, schools, farms, and businesses. All our cultural efforts will be

judged, praised, or condemned by you. Our great American heritage and the very fate of humanity rests in your hands.

I urge each of you to accept the challenge of life with all of its implied responsibilities. Continue to learn and to practice as willing workers that you may earn satisfactions from your job and from the knowledge that you have contributed to the preservation of in­dividual rights and the four freedoms.

I am sure that I speak for all of the faculty when I say, our greatest satisfactions in life have been derived from being able to help you reach this graduation milestone. Working with you has been a pleasure, citizens of tomorrow.

PAUL H. HA NA, Principal
