Foreword We present to you, the students of Brookline High, the 1939 Murivian. It is the fruit of much careful planning and a great deal of painstaking labor. As we have watched it grow under our hands, we have hoped that it might be worthy of its predecessors and the School which it portrays. We have endeavored to catch within its covers the work and the play, the serious and the inconsequential, the sense and the nonsense; the teachers and the pupils, the School and its spirit, the commend- able endeavors and the steps forward — in short, we present life and progress at Brookline High for the academic year 1938-39.
