HOME OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY FOREWORD nm e, jJq QrA O XAxa) y OOxi-C .s QXVm Classical mythology represents the timeless tales of gods and heroes. These inspiring accounts of deities, semi-divine beings, and superhuman individuals, which were handed down to the Greeks and Romans by word of mouth for a long period of time and also put into written form by imaginative poets, have, for nearly 2700 years, influenced and embellished the art, the literature, and even the daily speech of the civilized world. With their curious blend of fantasy and fact, of ideals and realities, these tales re¬ flect the dreams and desires of man throughout history to know the realm of the unseen, the unknown, the mysterious. Hence, these myths, which were thought of as an important part of early civilized life, will live on for centuries to come. As we, the Seniors, look back upon our memorable days at Benjamin Franklin High School, we, like the ancient Greeks before us, have also acquired some time¬ less tales of a most important part of our own lives, tales which will live on as an imperishable memory in the hearts and minds of all the members of the Class of 1960.

MR. WILLARD A. SABIN Principal To you, Mr. Sabin, we, the Senior Class of 1960, proudly dedicate the KEY; for you, like Zeus, are not only a god of the strong but also a protector of the weak. “Fishes and beasts and fowls of the air de¬ vour one another. But to man, Zeus has given justice. Beside Zeus on his throne Justice has her seat.” Hesiod
