Miss Madeline Anderson Assistant Housemaster As a class you have been outstanding in social activities and scholastic at- tainments. You have contributed much to the school. In carrying out your duties, you have been exceptionally loyal and responsible. These qualities should help you immeasurably in attaining your individual goals. I feel sure your successes will continue in your further education and in your life’s work. With admiration and affection, I shall be glad to hear of your accomplishments in the years that lie ahead. Mr. Robert Archibald Housemaster I should like to add my voice to the consensus that the Class of ‘56 was an ex- ce])tionally talented and cooperative class. My association with you for these four years has been etdightening and a source of pride as I recall the record you have made as a cla.ss and as individuals. I think you will agree that B.II.S. has created a stimulating environment to those who would be challenged. You have had an experience of democracy at its best. The staff .shares with me the hope that you are carrying away with you more than subject knowledge. Independent, critical thinking, a sense of re- sponsibility, a worthy code of ethics, and the ability for honest self-evaluation are not easily achieved; yet it has been quite aj)parent that many of you have taken great strides in the right direction. Perhaps these are ideas to check from time to time. Keep in touch! David Borden (Sec.), Albert Fine (V. Pres.), Ernest Moreno (Pres.), Marie Perrault (Treas.).
