HOWARD LINDSAY, Class of I907' As of 1050, the Broadway production of Life With Father had taken in over 35,000,000-making it one of the theatre's greatest financial successes of all time. This great achievement was due mostly to the brilliant acting of the playwright, Howard Lindsay, who portrayed the title role of Father.

President's Message Mr. Doyle, members of the faculty, and classmates of '55: The hour is fast approaching when we shall take leave of B.L.S., and the question of that hour will be, Where are we going? Most of us will strive towards that state of perfection that shall render us prepared to meet the manifold duties as men, as citizens, and as loyal Ameri- cans. l 'p to the present time we have been gathering such knowledge as was required of us as boys. Now we must attain the type of knowledge that shall stamp ns as men on a collegiate level. We shall ever be grateful for the preparation that we have received here at Latin School, the inspira- tion to study, to work, and to acquire useful knowledge at the hands of the dedicated teachers of our school. Our school has richly endowed us with an understanding which is only a foretaste for the student days that lie ahead. As we survey the years that have been spent, we cannot close our eyes to the march of time, to the ravages of wars, and to a world filled with turmoil, with in- trigue, and without the rules by which men lived and were governed in other generations. During our entire lifetime there has been no period wherein the world has enjoyed peace. We have constantly been exposed to the rattling of sabres, the roar of guns, the din of battle. and the greatest revolution that man has ever attempted, namely, to conquer space and distance by way of the jet-propelled machines in the science of aviation. We have seen the men of science create Frankensteins by means of the splitting of the atom, the atomic bomb, and the hydrogen bomb which threatens to destroy civilization. These men have created instruments of war of which they, themselves, are frightened. And yet, in a more optimistic vein, we may find that, out of these inventions may come the greatest benefits to society. We, the new graduates, look with conlidence to tomorrow with faith, with hope, and wit.h courage. We look to the leadership of this, our beloved land, and to the heritage that is ours as an inspiration, so that we may continue to strive towards that far greater and nobler goal of Peace on earth, for us and for the generations still unborn.
