Many faults it doubtless contains; but in consideration of the fact that the best of our limited talents has been put into its composition, we beg the kind indulgence of criti- cal eyes. Perhaps — who knows? — in later years, we might prize this little volume, the result of our juvenile efforts, the more because of its very faults and imperfections. In the meantime, however, we only trust that it will meet with the expectations of each member of ’ 28 .

ALMA MATER That impressive building of yellow brick, Peabody High School, means a great deal to us, who call it Alma Mater. Familiar are its classrooms and corridors, its spacious grounds and athletic fields. Under its roof we have studied, for its credit on the field of sport we have con- tested and cheered. There, in that great free institution of learning, we have been given the rudiments of a broad and liberal education, the mastery of which is essential in order that we be able to proceed onward and surmount life’s obstacles that we are sure to confront. It is this education received by us beneath the sheltering roof of Alma Mater that has prepared us to take our respective places in the world outside her portals. Closely linked with our youth Peabody High School will forever remain. All through our lives happy memories of those days that used to be, will dwell with us. And now, as we are about to become members of her alumni, our earnest prayer is that the Class of 1928 will always be worthy of that school which is Symbolic of all that is high, With standards brushing the sky.
