HEADMASTER Greetings to the Class of 1 957: It has been my privilege to know you for the brief span of only a few months but in that time I have come to respect you for your true worth. Each passing day has brought to me some new facet of your character which has enhanced my opinion of you individually and as a class. I am sure that if it were possible for me to continue to get better and better acquainted with you that I would steadily increase my admiration for you. I am confident that the leadership you have demonstrated and the service you have given to Brookline High School will broaden and grow as you move out into ever larger fields of endeavor. I bid you Godspeed as you leave your Alma Mater. Sincerely, BERTRAM H. HOLLAND Headmaster 7

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT In laying the foundations for the future careers in busi- ness, the B.H.S. business department offers instruction in book-keeping, typing, stenography, business law, and other general training courses. The chance for success in these fields grows daily. Realizing the great need for business skills in both boys and girls, Mr. Ehnes, who has planned the program, and his faculty who execute these plans, try to give adequate training, so that the student may either continue his studies upon graduation. Brook- line can well be proud that it contains so practical a department. i; Mil Irilffl Ul Row 1 : Miss Greenshields, Miss Hamblin, Mr. Ehnes (chrm.), Mrs. Stewart.

The Latin Department, though small in size, is immense in importance and influence, in that not only does it give the student a picture of ancient life and culture, but also helps him in his understanding and command of the English language. The military greatness of Caesar, the brilliant oratories of Cicero, and the literary genius of Virgil, all become familiar to the Latin student under the watchful guidance of Miss Webster, Miss Manter and Miss Vanacore, who heads this important department.

MATH DEPARTMENT For any student planning either a business or a scientific future, the mathematics department lays solid founda- tions upon which to base future training. As for the rest of us, we too use math is some way each day of our lives. No matter what paths we might follow, the power of logical thinking, developed through mathematical experience will be invaluable. Under the direction of Miss Zelinka, the math department, tries to prepare us better for the increasingly complicated world in which we live. Today, more than ever before, mathematical skills are essential for the development of an improved world. 9
