Page Two META Peabody High School FOREWORD This, our Meta, is the final link in our chain of high school memories ■ — memories of friends, teachers and the carefree days of our adolescence. The majority of us regard the completion of our courses in secondary school as the end. It should not be so — for this is only the beginning. We should consider our graduation as the greatest stepping stone in our life. It is the spot in the river of life where we stop to look around us and take a deep brea th of assurance before we go on to bigger and better things. Some of us will continue our education in the colleges and universities. Others will put on the garb of maturity and go into the working world of adults. All of us, it is hoped, will take our chosen place in society with the irreplaceable foundation of four happy years behind us. Whenever we hit a bump along our road, this will hold us fast to our constant aim for happiness. In a few years from now, the standard jokes of our day will be outmoded to every- one but ourselves. The heartaches which seemed so all-important to us will be trivial- ities then. The editors of this yearbook, your yearbook, sincerely hope that it will bring back these laughs and yes, the tears. We are confident that each graduate of 1947 will spend many happy hours browsing through the Meta and find a memory on every page.
