DEAN OE GIRLS My cordial greetings to the Class of 1953! As we look at you, now the members of the graduating class, it is hard to realize that four short years ago you were just entering Brookline High School. What strides you have made in those years! Now you are ready for the next step, whatever it may be. Whether you are immediately employed, enter the armed services, or go on to advanced schools, you are looking forward to specialized training which will help you to greater success and usefulness. Certainly there is much to be done in the troubled world by trained men and women of high character, broad outlook, true courage and deep sympathies. We can well follow the familiar ad- vice given many years ago and just as true today, “Make you the world a bit more beautiful, and better because you have been in it.” Really doing that is a life work of the highest order. May the years bring you true success and abiding happiness! Very sincerely yours, l(J. You face a half-century in which the great issue is the free world ' s fight for survival. Perhaps for many years you will live in a gar- rison state and watch anxiously as nations slowly and reluctantly unite to save themselves from the scourge of war. In these years of tension you may choose the easy role of apathy, cynicism, or cowardice, so that you ignore public crises, devote yourself exclusively to your work, your family, and your pleasure, and reject responsibility to make decisions and take ac- tion on important issues. If this is to be your role, you will miss half the joy of life. The alternative role, the exciting and rewarding role, is to act valiantly on a fervent belief that spiritual values transcend material values and that brotherhood, freedom, justi ce, and equality of opportunity are the things that count. God grant you wisdom and courage to make the right choice! GUIDANCE COUNSELOR 8

Dr. An dree You may not recognize it, but these past four years have been the most stimulating experience that you will ever enjoy as partners in a free world. W hen you entered high school, you were pretty much raw material as a free person. But you began to learn not just words from books but ideas. Your teachers, most of them, have tried to help you formulate a philosophy of continued learning for a dy- namic and surging society. They have urged you to supplement your knowledge with conviction which will give basis for the saying that “education is what remains after you have forgotten all that you have learned.” Now you are about to build a new and unknown future in an unknown way. That’s your problem. You will be faced with doing what you do not yet know how to d o; to live in one world with not the faintest trace of capacity to operate in one which may actually destroy itself; to develop a sympathy suffi- cient to carry in your hearts the weight of those who died yesterday in Korea or who may die tomorrow in Prague; to cope with the spectacle of machines, finding answers to problems which men who designed them cannot themselves do. What we have tried to do co-operatively is to endow you with just the freedom, just the sense of unguessed-at processes which if you incorporate them into your lives may equip you to make new adjust- ments which are so necessary for your new world. It has been a pleasure to be your colleague, to help you along life ' s way toward this desirable but unknown goal. 3. GGt 7
