 The Three Hundredth Anniversary of Secondary Education in America Three hundred years ago the citizens of Boston in a town neeting authorized the appointment of a schoolmaster for the instruction of their children to prepare them for the university. Though its offering was very meager, the Latin Grammar School provided the training for our earliest citizens. In the latter eighteenth century to meet the growing demands of a democratic country, the American Academy emerged with its more widely diversified curricula and opened its doors to a larger group of students. From this unpretentious beginning have grown the secondary schools of America as we know them today, whose task it is to mould youth into an intelligent and helpful citizenry. So we who are graduating on this momentous anniversary pause to commend the progress of education in Boonton. We have focused our camera to reflect cross sections of modern high school life at Boonton where teachers and students work and play in cr. efficient, cooperative community. May Echoes of 1935 serve always to help us to cherish the memories of our four full Joyous years and to remind us of the lofty ideals that were instilled in us by our high school contacts.
