Malden High School - Maldonian Yearbook (Malden, MA)

Page 9 text:

The year 1935 marked the graduation of our class from Malden High School. Surely such an event is enough to distinguish any twelvemonth from whatever the past can offer or the future hold in store. Yet a class graduates from Malden High every ' year and to an unappreciative observer the superiority of the class of 1935 might not be instantly evident nor even noticeable had not the matter been taken care of three hundred years ago. It was exactly three centuries back that the first public high school was founded, the Boys’ Latin School in Boston. It is a tribute to the Boston Latin School that it has endured and grown during these three hundred years, but it is also a tribute to America itself that almost every boy and girl in the country today has the opportunity for secondary school education. Though high school has at times seemed only so much drudgery made com¬ pulsory by law, there can be no high school graduate who does not realize the opportunities he has been given by such education to be, if not the superior of most of the men of his age, at least the equal of many of them. We know that it can accomplish little and can never be seen by the founders of Boston Latin School, but still we would like, if only for the form of the thing, to issue this MALDONIAN in commemoration, not of the found¬ ers themselves, but of the spirit and foresight which prompted them to make it possible for the youth of Boston and America to obtain a high school education.
