WENDELL E. SMIIH Shailer Housemaster To the graduating class of 1946 belongs the unique honor of functioning for three years while a total war was in progress. That the curriculum of Brookline High School was altered to meet existing conditions, you know. It was inevitable that a period of confusion and experi- mentation should follow our entry into the war. Yet you, as members of the class of 1946, met this transition with responsibility and cooperation. You did everything in your power to let your patriotism grow into an active working force in the school, the town and on the field of battle itself. And now, as seniors, you are the first gradu:iting class in this post-war period. Much de- pends upon your attitude toward the grave problems which now confront us. I hope that the tradition of Brookline High — the tradition of tolerance and understanding, based on knowl- edge, will serve you well. Ideas and ideals are more necessary to strengthen democracy in our new world than the power of weapons. Yesterday your country fought with guns; tomorrow her weapons will be your ideas and ideals. May God give you to see the right, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. 8

MARY W. SAWYER Dean of Girls To the Graduating Class of 1946, My most cordial good wishes go with you all as you face the future. In some ways your problems are harder than those faced by graduates of the war years. There is no longer the challenge that comes to the individual while the fighting is going on, but the individual ' s responsibility is even greater in the difficult readjustment to peace. It is as true now as it has always been that where there is no vision the people perish. Have you the courage, the determination, the self-discipline, and the patience to follow the gleam wherever it may lead? For it is no small task to which you are summoned. Always is youth attended on his way by the vision splendid. Keep your dreams and do not let them fade too soon into the light of common day ! May true happiness be yours as you move ever onward to a very real success! Cordially yours, MARY W. SAWYER Dean of Girls 7
