TO THE CLASS OF 1949 It has been my privilege to work with you during your years at Brookline High and I am grateful for the many things you have done individually and collectively to make It a happy experience. I am also sincerely thankful for all that you have taught me. As you leave these halls of learning for more exten- sive ones, 1 would have you remember the following principles as stated by Marshall Field: The value of time, the success of perseverance, the pleasure of working, the dignity of simplicity, the worth of charac- ter, the power of kindness, the obligation of duty, the wisdom of economy, the virtue of patience, the Im- provement of talent, and the joy of originating. May each one of you attain the high goal you have set for yourself toward which the years spent at Brook- line High have been Important stepping stones. TO THE CLASS Ol ' 1949 Each House develops its own personality which It projects throughout the whole school. I think of you as The Friendly House. Your life here has been marked by the practical application of the Golden Rule. Your genuine responses, your eager participation In com- munity efforts, and your willingness to elect respon- sible people to office have made you unique among the Houses. I hasten to add that Akers House has contributed a good proportion of scholars, athletes, and honored members to our school family. All those who have had a part In your education to date, and especially your Housemaster, recognize your contributions to each other and the school. I thank you for your fine cooperative spirit and wish for you the continuance of that genuineness of mind and heart that makes for a wholesome America. 6 ' 103
