Page Six META Peabody High School Graduation from high school marks the end of the first phase of one’s education. It should serve as an in- centive to explore the more advanced fields of learning whether it be in the arts, the sciences, or business. Our constant aim through life should be the development of a sound mind in a healthy body together with the charac- ter, spirituality, and disposition to make us a credit to ourselves, our families and our city. May the Class of 1948 continue to earn the congratulations which we, your teachers, now sincerely extend. WILLIAM A. WELCH MR. WILLIAM A. WELCH Superintendent of Schools Congratulations to the members of the Class of 1948 on reaching a milestone in your progress on the road of life. For many, graduation means the end of formal training, while for others, it is preparation for the pursuit of higher learning. For all of us, however, education is a never ending process and it is my sincere hope that you will constantly strive to improve yourselves educationally to the end that you may be better equipped to discharge the serious obligations and responsibilities of citizenship. It is my sincere wish that health and happiness be yours in the years to come. J. HENRY HIGGINS J. HENRY HIGGINS Assistant Superintendent

Peabody High School META Page Five FOREWORD To us who graduate in 1948, this yearbook records not only the end of four difficult yet profitable years of study, but also four years during which time we have formed firm friendships that will in years to come be strengthened and enriched. We have during the past four years experienced the happiest days of our lives. In years to come we shall scan the contents of the META and recognize the familiar faces of our classmates and friends who accompanied us in those earlier years along the path that leads to a richer and a fuller life. Each of us will start on the road of life with little understanding of w T hat lies ahead. We are but freshmen in a world of vast opportunities where each of us will have his own part to play in the great drama about to unfold. May this META serve constantly as a link between the future and the past. May it ever serve as a bond holding closely together for all time the members of the Class of 1948.
