City and School Uititicialls Wildwood High School is deeply appreciative of the intelligent and sympathetic support the Commissioners and the members of the Board of Education have given our school and its activities. These busy people have not forgotten their own youth nor the aims of democracy when administer- ing their public duties. We go forward quickly and gladly since our leader- ship is genuinely interested in us and our plans for the present and the future. six

lF REWURD UB The term Foreword might readily be interchanged with its eu- phonious cousin, Forward, in this, the first edition of The Breakers. We trust it will be Forward in at least two senses: many more yearbooks and all better ones in the years to come. Being a pioneer book it naturally has many weaknesses that future staffs can avoid. We give you our maiden effort as a permanent reminder of the many happy experiences you have had in Wildwood High School and of the numerous new things that 1940 brought to our school. Perhaps some day a little tyke will crawl upon your knee, as you leaf through the ancient pages of this volume, and say, Oh, didn't people look funny back in 1940! Is that really you, Grandpa?

anning Myers, Su eriintendent ELISE MANNING Secretary to the Superintendent Seb 971, A.B., 1906, Brown University. To the students of Wildwood High School I extend my congratulations upon the publication of this the first Yearbook in the history of the school. It makes a step forward in our high school career. The other day I stood in front of the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall thinking of the many things that have happened to us as a nation since that memorable time when a small boy shouted: Ring, Grandpa, ring. That time was the beginning of a new era of personal liberty, of freedom of speech, of religious and political liberty. It was the clarion tone that culminated in the democracy that we have today. I am one of those who believe that this democracy is worth saving, that its blessings are amply exemplified by the comparative safety that we enjoy in a world of turmoil and strife. The cornerstone of this democracy is education, training in the traditions and ideals of this land that we all love. May we, all of us, be ever ready to defend, maintain and extend, through our educational institutions, those things that have made America great. LANNIN G MYERS, Superintendent.
