This year we are especially proud to welcome you, Dr. Andree, our headmaster, back to Brookline High School. While you were in Holland last year, on a Fulbright fellowship, you brought to the students of the Rotterdam Lyceum some of that friendly encourage- ment which has spurred on so many of us here at home. Ve, too, have profited from your trip, for you have brought back to us from Europe new understanding of the world be- yond Brookline High School. You have made the dimly perceived conditions that we read of in the newspapers a little more real. We are happy to say “Hello” to you once more. The 1956 M urivian 7

' !!i m I iiiiiiii iimi ii i ' ll, Latin Department Throughout the long jirrigress of education, educators have never lost sight of Latin, the language of the ancients. So it is at Hrook- line High School, for, under the able leadership of Mi.ss Vanacore, M iss Manter, and Mrs. Arnold, the students are given a thorough training not only in the fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary, but also in the translation and understanding of Latin literature, both prose and poetry. During the four years of study in which the stiulents study Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, they begin to discover the history of ancient countries and, at the same time, gain a better command of the English language. Rov ' 1: Mrs. Webster, Miss Vanacore (Head of Dept.), Miss Manter. Mathematics Department With the advancement of science through- out the world, the need for people with mathematical ability has continually grown. Mr. Ward and the Mathematics Department have been striving to en- courage more young men and women to tlelve further into this fascinating sub- ject. Whether a student of Hrookline High plans to enter a field that requii ' es advanced mathematics or one which calls for business math, he is able to find a course that will prove exceedingly valu- able to him in later life. Even the student who does not expect to work in a field which demands mathematical skill can develop an aliility to reason which will always serve him well.
