JflHTllUU-i) “Some ships go East and others West, While the selfsame breezes blow; It’s the set of the sails and not the gales That bids them where to go.” Alas, our day of setting sail from our dear Alma Mater has ai’rived. Time has bidden us to set our compass for our journey. Our helmsman has been given his orders and we’re off. But, iix order that our journey through life may be accompanied by fond memories of our days spent at Peabody High School, we present this, our Year Book. So now — — ■ “As we journey on thi ' ough life, It’s the set of the soul That determines the goal, And not the storms and strife.”

OUR PRINCIPAL It is difficult to put into words; the thoughts that come to mind when we reflect upon the part Mr. Woodman has played in the life of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-three. As individuals and as a class, every one of us has reason to be everlastingly grateful for the kind and generous interest he has shown us from the first day we came under his guiding hand. For over thirty years Mr. Woodman has been the principal of Peabody High School. During this period he has seen many changes in the physical equipment of the school, in the personnel of the teach- ing force and in the size of the student body. Through it all, Mr. Woodman has remained the same, a true Christian gentleman, willing and eager to give the best of himself to the work to which he has dedicated his life. Words, of course, are entirely inadequate. But such as they are, we here g ' ive expression to the gratitude we have in our hearts for this kindly man who has so painstakingly guided us through this eventful period of our lives.
