Yt is an onn nae I am deeply grateful for having been chosen as the Dedicatee by the Class of 1962. It is an honor which I will long cherish and never forget. Looking back over the past ten years at Boston Technical High School, I can honestly say that they were the most productive, joyous years of my teaching career. In that time I came to know numerous students who demonstrated an unswerving devotion to the principles of science. This dedication to inductive reasoning became the means whereby many of these young students distinguished themselves in the major colleges and universities throughout the country. And I am equally confident that the Class of 1962 will not only continue the fine tradition established by Tech Alumni, but more important, attain new pinnacles of scientific achievement in the immediate future. Again, let me reiterate my heartfelt thanks for the signal honor be- stowed upon me by the Class of 1962. My earnest good wishes go out to each and every one of you and in the words of H. G. Wells “. . . it is only when knowledge is sought for her own sake that she gives rich and unexepected gifts in an abundance to her servants.”

W. are happy... to editata this lechnicitn fo Me. Edward A. Foley Mr. Edward F. Foley was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on January 26, 1916. He attended local schools before graduating from Boston English High School in 1936. Shortly thereafter he matriculated at McGill University. After World War II he en- rolled at Boston University. Here he received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, the latter in 1948. Mr. Foley taught chem- istry and physics in Dedham, Bridgewater, and Boston Trade School before joining the faculty at Boston Technical High School in 1952. In the summer of 1953, Mr. Foley was awarded a Westinghouse Science Fellowship at M.I.T. Until 1962, when he became Chairman of the Science Department at Boston Trade School, Mr. Foley was an outstanding teacher of chemistry. This reputation was enhanced when he was chosen to study advanced science at Harvard University during the 1958-1959 academic year. ‘ For ten years Mr. Foley was a significant part of the Technical community. With a Maccabean dedication to duty he did much to stimulate scholarship, promote worthy leadership, and to in- spire our youth to achieve the highest ideals of character and service. He was unquestionably a major part of Tech’s modus operandi. On the one hand we regret his departure, but on the other we are proud in the knowledge that his service and capa- bilities have been rec ognized. To you, Mr. Edward F. Foley, we wish an abundance of good health and fortune. We shall always remember you as a true friend and an excellent teacher.
