All good things must come to an end. And so it is that Thomas F. Murphy, Senior Flogrrnasterof Lowell High School, retired this year after a thirty-two year career in the Lowell Public School System. With his magnetic personality, his rare sense of humorous expression and his wisdom, gained through wide experience, Mr., Murphy won the respect and admiration of every graduating student. He gave help and comfort tothe- ones who needed it and was a friend to those who were alone. He touched each and every one of us in a very special way. , Our class of 1977, Mr. Murphy's eighteenth as Senior Floormaster, has already graduated. Together, both Mr. Murphy and we are embarking on our own new adventures. For all of us, each today will be our own personal graduation . . . our private mark in time between the past and the future . . . our own farewell to yesterday, our welcome. to tomorrow. Yet, before we disperse, each striving for separate goals, attempting to realize different dreams and ambitions, it is only fitting that we, as Mr. Murphy's last graduating class, should join his friends and colleagues in wishing him a happy and joyous retirement. Unlike old soldiers who retire and fade away, one man who will forever live in the hearts of those at Lowell High School is Thomas F. Murphy. t 2 , 'Q I' . .r 43 5 . .
