Mount Hermon School - Gateway Yearbook (Mount Hermon, MA)

Page 9 text:

FOREWORD HE reward of work comes from the knowledge that it has not been in vain. lt is with this in mind that the Gateway Board has gone about its tasks, striving to pay proper tribute to Mount Hermon School, its faculty and staff, its graduates and undergraduates, its tradition, and its unrelenting quest to teach the value of upright living. The true purpose of this yearbook will surely not be realized for many years, it cannot be disclosed either in pictures or in print. Its value lies rather in the memories which will be restored to its owner in the time to come, memories of happiness, memories of heartache, memories of life on the Hill, a life gone forever, yet very much alive in the heart of each loyal Herman son. The l952 Gateway is your book. Take it. Treasure it always. For within is contained the story of an inestimable influence upon you-life at Mount Hermon School.
