IN DEDICATION TO DIANE RICCI The cover of the 1988 Yearbook was de- signed by Diane Ricci of the Boston Latin School Art Department. With great appre- ciation and gratitude the Yearbook Staff thanks her and acknowledges Ms. Ricci’s in- terpretation of the symbols that appear on the cover design: 1) The circle symbolizes the continuity of the Latin Tradition. 2) The square represents the book of knowl- edge. 3) The triangle symbolizes both the end of an era at Latin and the beginning of a new era of pursuits and goals. Diane Ricci In 1 965 Diane Ricci made history at Boston Latin School when she became the first woman to be assigned as a teacher to America’s oldest public school, an honor she always cherished. In 1967, along with two other women, Diane Ricci became the first woman to be permanent ly appointed to Boston Latin School. Though Boston Latin offered its students a rich liberal arts education, it was deficient in the most obvious of the arts: painting and drawing. Mrs. Ricci inaugurated our first art program which has flourished since its inception. In 1971, to meet the needs of our many gifted students, Mrs. Ricci invited the Advanced Placement to Boston Latin School, offering to our most talented art students the opportunity to excel in a competitive and challenging course. At the same time, Mrs. Ricci, an active and life member of the Museum of Fine Arts, created a close and enriching relationship between Boston Latin School and the Museum Art School: thus, our students have had access to the finest art instruction available in the Boston area. Always sensitive to students’ aesthetic requirements, Mrs. Ricci recognized the practical needs of the students of the eighties: in 1979, she introduced a new course. Architectural Design, implemented for those students interested in technological fields such as engineering, interior design, and architecture. For her inestimable contribution to our school and her twenty-three years of dedication to our students, we thank Mrs. Ricci wholeheartedly. Gentle, kind, and compassionate, she is a teacher nonpareil. 6
