Mr. Albert Lerer Superintendent of Schools To the Class of 1959 I EXTEND my most sincere and heartfelt congratulations upon your graduation from Maynard High School. There was a time when it was felt that the opportunities for success in life were gradually disappearing. Nuclear developments and world-wide changes of the past few years, however, have proven that we have just begun to recognize the real opportunities that exist around us. Never was there so much for so many; — for those who are prepared. The key to successfully meeting this challenge is unquestion- ably tied to education. Your diploma is symbolic of the first real step in the preparation for the tasks ahead of you. Having laid the ground work by encouraging you to develop strong bodies and alert minds, we now pray that through divine guidance and the realization of the concern of your families and friends, you will strive to excel in your chosen fields so that the light of your success will reflect joy and happiness on those who love you. Good luck and God Bless You. (j a . Superintendent 7

Aloha to the Class of 1959 E, THE STUDENTS OF Maynard High’s Class of 1959, are about to embark on a novel and thrilling journey. Once we have left the comparatively safe harbor of our high school, and begin our journey over the seas of life, we shall meet many new people and places. The question which is asked and must be answered is — how will we adapt ourselves to our new environment? It is hoped that all of us, through the guidance of parents, teachers, and other friends will be able to meet these new challenges with prepared- ness and joyful anticipation. With these thoughts in mind we have chosen for the theme of our yearbook, Around the World in 80 Days. By analogy we have tried to show the preparation of the past four years — our work, our fun, our teachers, our classmates — in sum, our high school memories. We are convinced that this preparative training — this work- ing together i n studies and activities — has laid a solid foundation on which we shall be able to build, with confidence, a firm and secure future.

Mr. Frediano D. Mattioli High School Principal To the Class of 1959 I AM HAPPY to offer my congratulations to the Class of 1959. You have reached an important milestone in your lives; the high school diploma is becoming more and more an essential element of our society. I know that your days at Maynard High School have given you the firm basis in general education needed in life. You will now proceed in different directions. May the lessons you have learned in your homes, your churches, and your schools be your guides for the future. May you have the personal courage, no matter what the odds, to distinguish between right and wrong. Tainted glory is fleeting; success based on the thin shell of expediency will crumble. True happiness and peace of mind are the results of hard work. May this happiness and God’s blessings be yours. Principal
