NEWS uno To the Members of the Class of 1956: As one grows older time passes much more rapidly. It hardly seems a year ago that I was writing to last year's senior class. The thoughts that I gave to them I could give to you as well as all the thoughts that I have given to all of the senior classes that have gone before you. In this business of education as well as in the spiritual realm, there are certain fundamentals that are changeless. They have been called to your attention many times during your school days here. We hope they have been ingrained into your philosophy of life. These fundamentals will be applicable when your formal education ceases. Work hard to keep them ever alive and let them work for you, too. May success accompany you and ill fortune never catch up with you. Sincerely, 6 774 John B. Mat thews Q

DR. CHESTER W. HOLMES, who as Superintendent of Schools, is the executive and advisory officer of the School Committee, has worked hard to bring the best and most modern forms of education to Malden. In his capacity as Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Holmes has represented Malden at many conventions and educational conferences. As a speaker in Chicago before the National As- sociation of Secondary School Principals, Dr. Holmes told of the progress and work done with the separation of the exceptional and gifted child from the regular classes. Malden has been a leader in this new theory of sepa- ration. Dr. Holmes who speaks at panel dis- cussions and group meetings is a member of the American School Administrators. 22 RICHARD T. KELLIHER, Ad- ministrative Assistant to Dr. Holmes, checks over the re- ports with his secretaries. Among many ot his taslrs Mr. Kelliher has charge ot school supplies, preparing state and federal reports, and supervi- sion ot the custodian staff. -P The School Committee, which consists of three men and two women, are a group of prominent citizens elected for a four-year term whose job it is to represent you, the citizens of Malden in the running of your schools. This year because of the polio epidemic, the School Committee delayed school until September 19. Making out the schedule for the school year is one of its many functions. Some of the achievements of your School Committee have been the adiustment of teachers' salaries in order to attract more teachers to the Malden school system, the establishing of kindergartens and special classes for the gifted child, the hiring of a ,special speech therapist, the holding of open meetings for the first time, and the making of final plans for the building of new schools in the Ayers and Daniels school areas. ,gave MAl.DEN'S 'SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN is left to right: Mr. Frederick E Conway lawyer Mrs. John C.
