BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Richard B. Pinches, Chairman Mrs. Adelaide B. Deming, Vice Chairman Mrs. Edith L. Griffith, Secretary Mr. A. Gilbert Johnson Mr. Horace H. Raymond Mr. Raymond A. McKeon Mr. E. Vernon Reed Mr. John A. Moore Mr. George W. Sullivan I HROUGH the untiring efforts of our Board of Education, we have obtained for our town a four year high school, fully equipped and duly accredited in the state. We, the class of 1936, are especially grateful to this body that they have bestowed upon us the privilege of being the first class to graduate from Berlin High School. Surely, without the persistence and willingness of these individuals we would not have been able to obtain an education in our home town with so much satisfaction and enjoyment. May we, as graduates, prove ever deserving of their worthy and admirable efforts in our behalf.
