Boston Latin School - Liber Actorum Yearbook (Boston, MA)

Page 8 text:

This yearbook is a record. lt is the record of some 250 boys during some four to six years of education. Ap- proximately 25,000 other high schools, throughout the country, are issuing similar yearboolcs, but this Liber Ac- torumf' the yearbook of the Boston Latin School, is more important and more significant than the vast majority of high school yearbooks. The 250 boys herein portrayed have received a Latin School education. They have been trained in a better school and by better teachers in the traditional classical system of education that has been the principal factor in bringing about our present civilization. These 250 boys are members of the Class of '42, the first class to graduate from the Latin School in this war. As they leave this school with unbounding confidence in future success, with every desire to serve their country, and with a full appreciation of their unparalleled training, they present this Liber Ac- torumu-the record of their studies and activities in the Boston Latin School.
