This brings back memories. I was the editor of this publication many, many years later, in 2005, but I've never seen the really old back issues.
We had significantly more content than in 1957, but there was a lot more fluff. (All of the honors math classes required writing a math research paper, and the Bulletin chose the most interesting ones for publication, but there's only so much originality you can expect from 14- to 16-year-old math students.)
