President’s Message Mr. Doyle, Mr. Richard, members of the faculty, friends, and last, but not least, classmates : The long- desired moment of every Latin School boy is rajudly approaching for us, the C ' lass of 195G. In a relatively short time, we shall 1 ‘eceive the diplomas for which we have struggled, lo! these many years. And, with the reception cf the diploma we shall leave this hall and the portals of Alma Mater — members, at last, of the Alumni of the old School. The Boston Latin School, where we have spent so many of our formative years, is owed a debt by all of us that we shall have a difficult task to repay. Our heartfelt thanks must be expressed for the solid foundation which our masters and advisers have given us. We hope that these men, whose efforts to instill in us a love of learning as well as the subject-matter, realize that we feel they have done a good job. On behalf of the class, 1 thank our parents for guiding us not only to partake of the Pierian Spring cf our School, but also for encourag- ing us to put forth our best efforts when the results of our schoolwork were not outstanding. As we look back cn what has happened during the years here, we cannot but remember a world filled with strife, with intrigue, and without consideration for the standards by which men once lived. During our entire lifetime we have seen nothing but wars and revolutions, and we have seen psychological warfare brought home to us. Nevertheless, we have also seen the dawning of a new age. Space and time are not words, but concepts — with the development of the atom bomb and of automation the work of the future. In spite of the strife, never was life more challenging and never more filled with opportunity for us. Our heritage can be seen in the names on the frieze of this Hall. We, the Class of 1956, look with confidence and faith to the future; and we have the courage to contribute to the future which shines beyond the dark clouds. LEO DANIEL TOPJIAN
