MAR ' W. SAWYER Dean of Girls My most cordial greetings to the Class of 1947! Members of the one hundredth class to be graduated from Brookline High School, you can look back over a long suc- cession of classes and knov that you in your turn are joining the goodly number of those who have made notable records for themselves and for the school they represent. The records of those older graduates challenge you today. With your greater advantages you should go far in science, in the arts, in government, in industry, and in the fine art of living. The war is over. Your older brothers paid heavily that you might live in a world at peace. Are you striving in your turn to win the victories of peace? The responsi- bility will soon be yours, and we who have known you are confident of your success. Whatever may be your plans, may you enter upon your new adventure with hope and good cheer and carry with you all that is best and noblest in the American Ideal! Call upon us when we can help in any way. Very cordially yours. Mary W. Sawyer page six

In the short space of one year. Dr. Robert G. Andree ' s interest and cooperation have become a unifying bond for our school and have pointed the way for new greatness.

To the Graduating Class of 1947; Awaiting each of you is a life that can be rich and abundant if you make it so. Your newspapers and radios tell you that there are vast decisions in the making — issues which will broadly shape the pattern of all our lives; you may feel powerless to influence these fateful decisions, yet if you join the valiant band of men and women of good will all over the earth, you can become part of mankind ' s struggle to throw off selfish in- terests, ruthless power-grabbing and distrust in its climb toward a world not divided by its nations, races, or religions. You can do your part by respecting the rights of all faiths and racial groups, and living democratically as an Individual and a citizen. And for your personal lives, never forget to have joy in little things, to laugh, and to take time for wonder. Robert H. Mitchell ROBERT H. MITCHEI.L Guidance Counselor page seven
