Sup rirzfmdenf of Sclzzfrfls DR. CHESTER W. HOLMES GREAT EXPECTATIONS In May of this year Malden celebrated the three-hundredth anniversary of its founding. Think what that means! Your city, from its settlement to the present, has seen our country grow from a wilderness to one of the leading powers in the world today. You Forty-Niners, like your city, began your educational careers with little but, like it, have come far. Your parents and the schools have done their best for you. See that you measure up to your responsibilities and their expectations! Of those to whom much has been given, much is expected.
