They come to realize that to be successful they must learn to budget time, giving each enterprise its alloted share; and they discover — through four years — that this arrangement of their minutes is the keynote to success or failure as a player of an important role in every activity. Therefore realizing that time is success and liv- ing itself, we have chosen as our theme the school clock, symbol of time in Brookline High which is — perhaps —the greatest single influence upon our teen-age existences. This clock, likewise, may stand as a symbol of progress and does so this year as a marker for thirty years of yearbook growth; thus Tick-Tock Timothy and Punctual Pandora represent both our thirtieth anniversary and the influence of time on the Brookline student. 2

Miss Alice Spaulding Dedication The desire to give of oneself exists in almost everyone; but to know how to direct one ' s giving so that actual benefit is derived from the effort is a true art. We believe that Miss Alice Spaulding exemplifies this ideal. In the course of her years at Brookline High School, Miss Spaulding has instituted such real services to the school as the drama courses and our prized student government. Perhaps the foundation of Miss Spaulding’s success in teaching is her genuine interest in the individual pupil, not only during his high school career, but after he has been graduated. All who come in contact with Miss Spaulding as the head of the Brookline High School English Department are impressed by her fertile mind and brilliant teaching. In recognition of the spirit of her unselfish nature, we would like to dedicate our 1953 Murivian to Miss Alice Spaulding. 3
