To The Class Of 1963 PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE It is now midnight. The players have given their last performance ; the orator, his last speech. Our careers at Latin School have now come to a close. The years we have spent here have been good to us. Through the instruction we have received we will be able to go on to meet the challenge of col lege and life after that. More important, however, than the school lessons we have learned is the self-discipline we have had to attain in order to cope with our subjects. This self-discipline is what sets a Latin School student apart. At Latin School we have existed in a group which might be likened to a melting pot. We have upheld the ideals of our American society by learning to get along with boys of many different ethnic backgrounds and religious be- liefs. Although this lesson is not found in books, it is, nonetheless, a very important one. What does the future hold for us? Although no one knows, it is possible that many of you will follow some of our illustrious alumni by doing great things in the fields of education, medicine, or even music. Some of us may even rate a place on one of these walls. Whatever our vocations may be, let the ideals of persever- ance and cooperation, learned here at Latin School, act as our guideposts. Now we are at the parting of ways. As we go on in life, it will be impossible to maintain all of the ties we have had with our classmates. However, we will never break our ties with Latin School, for we are now Latin School Alumni, and the traditions of this school will always be ingrained in us. As your president, I congratulate you on your graduation and wish you success and hap- piness in the future. John McCarthy John J. McCarthy President, Class of 1963

The Liber Aetorum Proudly Presents . . . THE CLASS OF 1963 We feel, with sincere modesty, that this year’s graduating class has met, and possibly even surpassed, the high level of excellence that previous classes have achieved. This excellence was manifested in many areas: More members of the class took, and did outstanding work in, college level courses in physics, chemistry and calculus than any previous class. Twenty-five seniors received a score of 800 in the Advanced Mathematics College Board. Twenty-one were National Merit Finalists, and thirty-three earned Letters of Commendation. Members of the class made notable contributions in other than purely academic endeavors: They were the founding force of the Greater Boston Debating League. They opened the first student-operated bookstore in the city. They played a major part in the winning of the City Hockey Championship. Their civic activities have brought credit to the school and its training. The seniors have won countless victories in inter-scholas- tic competitions. The Liber Aetorum proudly presents the Class of 1963. 22
