MR. LESLIE O. JOHNSON Principal To the Class of 1951: In this year when we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the construction of a high school building in Gloucester, it is a special privilege to extend the congratu- lations of our faculty to you and to hope that one hundred years from now the citizens of Gloucester will be as proud of the program which is developed during the next one hundred years as they are of the program which has been developed in the Gloucester High School since 1851. We appreciate the tremendous effort it has meant on the part of many of you to attend high school regularly, to meet the requirements of the various courses, and to have fitted your life into the time requirement of the Gloucester High School. We hope that you believe it was worthwhile. When you entered Gloucester High School in September, 1947, Gilbert O’Neil, the President of the Class of 1948, welcomed you to its portals and stressed the opportunities that were yours in this school if you cared to make use of them. He commented on the good condition in which the preceding classes had left this building, and he hoped that you as graduates would leave it in just as good condition as when you entered it in the fall of 1947. You can be proud of what you have done to maintain the excellent condition of our building. As many of our alumni return this year, they will have an opportunity to see this building for the first time; and, unless I am entirely wrong, they will be astonished at the excellent physica 1 condition of this building after eleven years of constant use. As you leave Gloucester High School in this year of 1951, the war clouds are dark; and for the boys there is a possible term of duty in the armed services. We are confident that both boys and girls will meet the demands as successfully as you have met the situa- tions here in Gloucester High School. When your term of service is over and you return to civilian life, may I urge you to be a creditable representative of the Gloucester Public Schools and especially of the Gloucester High School. Please realize that as time passes, changes take place; so strengthen yourself to meet the changing situations that develop. I wish the best of success to each and every one of you. Sincerely, LESLIE 0. JOHNSON, Principal
