THANKS X 9 CNN to Mrs. Rhoades We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Rhoades to whom we are all greatly indebted. Not only has she been the guide of this yearbook, but also through- out our years at Mount Everett her interest and encouragement have inspired us to do our best. Long after we have graduated from this school, Mrs. Rhoades, we shall remember you and thank you for your love and understanding. fThe class also appreciates the many other teachers who have been with them at Mount Everett and regrets that each one cannot be thanked individuallyj 27

Because of the extensive enthusiasm of the group Cwhich constituted 80 2 of the classj, much was accomplished early. Loring Studios were chosen to do our photography work, and the print- ing was done by T. O'Toole 8: Sons. The members were especially pleased to receive such fine support from the advertisers. The club's major goal was to have a unique yearbook. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our special thanks to Dr. Downie, Mr. Norton and Mr. May, who helped to make our yearbook more successful through photographic and artistic contri- butions. l .4 2 I ,U ll .

OUR TOWN In the first act the author genially outlines the history of the town. which is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, and something of the character of its citizens. Then he carries you into the houses of the Gibbs and Webb families, substantial homes containing substantial folks. You arrive at breakfast time and are carried through one entire day in the lives of these good people. The second act concerns the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webb, and thus culminates in a moving wed- ding scene, which contains all those elements of poignant sorrow and abundant happiness that make for solemnity and impressiveness. In the third act we are led to the cemetery on the hill, where many of the townspeople we have come to know so well are patiently and smilingly awaiting-not 'judgment' but greater understanding. Into their midst is led the bride, a little timid at first, a little wishful to go back to life, to live again with her memories. But she is shown how futile it is to return. The past cannot be re-lived. Living people, humans, occupied with their petty occupations and small thoughts, know little of true joy or happiness. Truth is to be found only in the future. 28 5
