Dedicated to Mr. Miller can look back upon a long and diverse career at Latin School. Almost forty years ago, he taught the incoming students a variety of subjects: science, history and even physical education. He then devoted himself to the classics, showing an enthusiasm and love for Latin too much lacking today. The seniors of the Class of 1981 will best remember Mr. Miller for his stint as Acting Headmaster during the school ' s most troubled period. We thank him for his devotion to Boston Latin School and to us. . . . David Miller 1 , 5
