Peabody High School META Page h{ine OUR FACULTY We, the members ol‘ the graduating class of 1944, wish to extend our sincerest appreciation to the teachers of Peabody High School. You have been our teachers, our educators, our advisers, and much more. You have been our friends, counselling us in the paths of learning and thought, fixing in us the roots of good citizenship as become the graduates of Peabody High School. We may not. at all times, have been thoroughly appreciative of what you, as teachers, had done or were doing for us. In these times there seems to be too much ahead. Too much for some; for others — nothing. The spirit of education is not an easy thing to maintain in war time. Too few realize its vital connection with the war effort, especially the students. Even so. as we leave, we feel the loss of many things — our learning, our books, our teachers. Yet in leaving, we take much with us. Through your untiring efforts we were introduced to many things which will have a very definite bearing on the lives we lead in the years to come. In the years that lie ahead, in the years after peace, when we have had time to recall and evaluate, we shall undoubtedly see the great part you played in forming our ideas and ideals. The world ahead, through us. will be a part of you. We can hope for no more than to carry the spirit which is you on into that world.
