CREWCRD For a period of 320 years Latin School has been preparing boys for liberal arts colleges by means of its vigorous insistence on a classical curriculum. The usefulness of this course may be questioned by modernists and so-called practical men, but the school continues to hold to its objectives. We live in an era in which science and technology are dominant in the pattern of life and consequently in the realm of education. Of late, complaints about the inability of high school graduates to write satisfactorily, read understandingly, or figure accurately have become more and more frequent. The explanations for this state of affairs are manyg but one of the most reasonable is the de-emphasis and decline of the classical disciplines, once considered essential to the successful training of our youth. These disciplines have disappeared from the curricula of most schools. Latin School, however, has stood firm since 1635. We are proud of that fact, for the proof of the value of our course may be found in more than three centuries of well-tested experience. It may be proved by listing the many gradu- ates who have become prominent., even famous, in the learned professions, the arts, or commerce and industry. lt is our good fortune to be students of a school with a tradition and a history such as ours. We feel, therefore, that it is only fitting to honor our alumni and their accomplishments. As we honor them, we are in fact, paying tribute to the School. Let us. the Class of 1955, in the future be worthy of them, and Boston Latin School. CONTENTS FACULTY .... 6 SENIORS. . . 16 ACTIVITIES. . 88 ATHLETICS ..... . . 108 ORGANIZATIONS. . . . . 126
