 Each Man Makes His Own Dreams ' HEADMASTER F. CHAMPLIN WEBSTER, JR. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream, and lie that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully......” Jeremiah, Chap. 23, V 28 (in part) The dreams we are talking about arc not those one has when he has eaten too much mince pie or has taken too much alcohol into his blood stream. These dreams are not to be analyzed by Mr. Freud or any other psychiatrists. We arc considering the dreams that men have had that changed the history of a country, of a state, or a city. Horace Mann had a dream of education for everybody in a free society. Thomas Edison, one of the greatest dreamers and inventors of all time, invented gadgets and machines to make life easier for men and women. Abraham Lincoln told what his dream about slavery was when he said, If ever I have a chance to hit it, I'll hit hard. Franklin Delano Roosevelt dreamt and talked of a New Deal. Dwight D. Eisenhower wanted to clean up the mess in Washington. In his dreams, J. F. Kennedy saw the New Frontier. He told his dreams of the future to the nation and asked us to give to our country-----not always expecting to be on the receiv- ing end. President Lyndon Johnson dreams of the Great Society —a society which will win the war on poverty in a free world. In its search for freedom, the youth of today dreams and rebels against what it feels society is doing to it. We hear much about the invasion of privacy and our rights. If we do not remember that with every right and privilege there is an obligation to respect the rights of others, if we are unwilling to struggle to keep the freedom won by our fathers, then we shall become a weak nation and fall prey to the barbarians as did Babylonia, Assyria, Greece, and Rome. But what is the dream of Malden educators? Malden educators have long since had a dream for the children of Malden. I feel certain that the Malden School Committee, the Superintendent and I dream of that day when Malden High School will be expanded to the extent that it will adequately house the present school population with a curriculum adequate, not only for those bound for higher education, but suitable for those who enter the world of commerce and industry. With the coming of this June, I shall have completed 34 years as an educator in the Malden system. Few of my dreams for the children of Malden have been realized. I think this can be traced to Malden’s economic situation, which makes taxpayers unwilling to pay the price that other cities arc willing to pay for the education of their children. If our educational dream is a first class one, we must pay for it. If our dreams are second or third class, we will have second or third class education. In my very humble opinion, Malden has been at the bargain counter for about forty years now. Under the recent law that allows negotiations or collective bargaining, the teaching profession is expected to reach its place in the sun. I earnestly hope this is so. In the past six years I have urged members of every senior class to consider teaching for their life's work. By the time you arc ready, I think education will be ready for you. It is not the shrines of the gods, not the powers of the air, that send the dreams which mock the wind with flitting shadows; each man makes his own dreams. Petronius (Circa A. D. 60) God bless you and may your dreams come true. AM I GOING TOO FAST, MABEL? queries Mr. Webster of Miss McQuestcn, his gal-Friday. 15

MHS Class Masters and Secretarie BESIDES KEEPING the past and present academic records in order, Mrs. Helen Hills aids with the student programming and graduation plans each year. MRS. MABEL BAINBRIDGE handles all clerical and stenographic material in the main office, and is always willing to help a student in need. Malden High's professional secretaries play a vital role in the proper functioning of the school's schedule. Answering phone calls and taking messages as well as filing, typing, and dictation keep these four secretaries constantly working in the main office. Besides their various clerical work, these capable secretaries also run a successful business in renting ties for five cents apiece to all boys who have forgotten or somehow mislaid theirs. Not only the professionals, but also the student secretaries lend their assistance to many of the MHS faculty members during free periods and after school. Filing, typing, mimeographing, as well as running errands arc included in their numerous duties. ALWAYS BUSY as our Principal Clerk and the secretary to h Webster, Miss McQueston helps keep MHS running smoothly. 16 PAULA SINCLAIR, student secretary for the Guidance Department.
