Headmaster ' s Message Foriy-six years ago next September, I became a member of the Boston Public School System and, with the excep- tion of 4 I 2 years in the service in World War II , my entire career has been devoted to the education of the children of the City of Boston. Never was a man so lucky as I to have achieved his one ambition; namely, to be appointed Head Master of Boston Latin School. No honor accorded to me can ever compete with this. I have enjoyed my years here at Boston Latin School and feel that I have accomplished much in the advancement of the teaching-learning situation. Often has the precept of Horace come to my mind; Nil ardui mortalibus est . . . (Nothing is too difficult for human beings to do.) The old adage is also true - where there is a will, there is a way - and I have always believed in it. Along the trail, of course, there were a few disappointments but, in the larger picture, the accomplishments have stood out. This school has a fine tradition and turns out excellent scholars, citizens, and leaders, who have been well trained, and this training serves them in good stead in future life. Latin School is really a state of mind. Pride in doing one ' s work separates the Latin School student from the pack. Work plus desire are the two great virtues inculcated in our students which produce the greatest of all virtues, self- discipline. The road is long, arduous and, at times, wearisome, but the results are inspiring. Although we experi- enced turbulent times , the school was able to weather them because the administration showed the leadership which is required in times of crises. We did not shrink from our duty. It is most fitting that the Class of 1976 should be the finest all-round class since I have been here in the school as Head Master. To them, I wish Godspeed in their voyage of life, and I know that, with the priceless training they have received here, they will all do well in life. Finally, in the words of the Apostle Paul, I HAVE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT. I HAVE FINISHED THE COURSE. I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH. Dr. Wilfred L O ' Leary Class of 1925 22
