WILFRED H. RINGER Headmaster To the Graduates of 1945 : Within the very short span of time that you have been with us, you have seen a world move swiftly through a period of civilization unparalleled because of man’s inventions. In your early days, the world was poised upon the brink of decay with its aggression, dictatorships, and persecution. As the United Nations became better organized, the scene changed while we passed through a period of disappointment, disaster and personal losses until the new machinery of a common democracy could be thrown into high gear. Then came the steady climb forward under the leadership of people who were willing to give and to compromise in order that we might write of peace in the book of life. Losses have been great. We will return soon to constructive production rather than destructive. In this era, you, as new graduates of Brookline High School, have an opportunity to make great personal contribu- tions. If you are to have, you must give. If you want results, you must w 7 ork. If you want freedom, you must be tolerant. If you want obedience, you must perform your duties. In the work that you do, may you remember that we have tried to help you be prepared for decisions that are fair and just. May God grant you the grace to make these decisions wisely. 8
