Dedication With grateful appreciation we acknowledge the deep understanding and thoughtful guid- ance that we have received from Miss Blanche Jobes during the years we have spent in high school. Her gracious dignity and genuine kind- ness have endeared her to us all. In her position as Dean of Girls she has never failed us, whether our problems have been academic or personal. The advice she has given us has been tempered by her wisdom and experience. She has brought her friendliness and cooperation into the class- room and has helped to make our adventure in learning memorable. Our memories in years to come will always be enriched by our contacts with this gracious, charming person, Miss Blanche Jobes. MISS BLANCHE M. JOBES Mr. John Coburn, whose vast knowledge of the world about us and of the problems con- fronting our young lives has had a great bearing on our scholastic success and social achievements, will always be remembered for the unfailing service and positive contribution he has given to both the students and teachers at Leominster High School. We know that his work has meant a great deal to him, and that no one can ever take his place. Inspired by his influence, we re- solve to be equally worthy citizens of the larger community into which we enter as graduates of Leominster High School. MR. JOHN H. COBURN

ALMA MATER Upon the hill you stand upright . Against the storm of time and tide. Your glory is our guiding light; Your nobleness, our pride. We rarse our voices now in song And send your praise across the sky. You served us faithfully and long; Your spivii shall not die. Jal We of the FIFTIETH GRADUATING CLASS of Leominster High School wish to salute those classes that have graduated before us. We sincerely hope that we have maintained and strengthened the fine tradition that is characteris- tic of Leominster High School. 37 Hail, O, Alma Mater, hail to you, Your noble heart, forever proud and true. And though years are dark and long, This will be our song forever more. The trust you gave us we shall not forget, For faith can never know regret. The star of truth, symbol of our youth, We praise you, Leominster High.

When we graduate a good senior class (by which we mean a class that has been scholastically sound; that has carried worthwhile activities to a successful conclusion; and that has exemplified good school citizenship in routine matters of daily school life), we sometimes find a difficulty in expressing our gratitude to the right people. The leaders in class activities, the top ranking students, the student with the outstanding attendance record—these people have already received acknowledgement in honors and prizes. There are others, however, who have con- tributed to the go od standing of a good class. We wish to address ourselves to them now, commenting on their high school career just ending and making a suggestion for the years to come. To you who do your duty quietly and inconspicuously each day we say: Never underestimate your true worth, for you are the very foundation of society. Never feel that your achievements, because they lack glamor or fail to make the front pages, are not worthwhile. All good things in school, community, and eventually in this iroubled world at large will come about because individuals strengthen their own characters, do their work, vote, and behave justly and generously in their relations with other people. These things you have done in school or your class would not have been a good class, however outstanding your leaders might have been. Continue to con- tribute the inestimable value of your worth as fine individuals, apparently un- noticed but never really unfelt, to all your future activities in life: in the factory, office, profession, community, and the families you will some day establish. If the world is to go forward toward peace and unity, the influence of all the good individuals, quietly doing the right thing and expecting everyone else to do the same thing, will achieve this victory. All good leaders know this to be true and serve in their own way, humbly grateful for the support of the fine people in the ranks.
