We the Seniors of 1957 of Arenzville High School wish to dedicate this edition of the Raider to Mr. Donald Kemp. Mr. Kemp has been our class advisor for the past four years. He has helped us through many difficult situations and shown much interest in all our activities.

Mr. Kemp was born in Stronghurst, Illinois, on November 15, 1926. He attended Western Illinois State College. In 1953, Mr. Kemp came to teach at Arenzville High School.

For the countless hours of patience and guidance that Mr. Kemp has extended to us, we wish to offer our sincere thanks.
