Page Ten META Peabody High School IN APPRECIATION Now our thoughts turn to those who have played such an important part in our indiviudal lives. We refer, of course, to our teachers. What a task they must have had! What patience, tolerance and perseverance they have exemplified! To all of them and for all of us may we write just a word. Emerson must thave thought of teachers when he wrote: “The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.” If that be true, then our teachers have indeed earned a reward, because they have certainly completed the task they so valiantly undertook some years ago. And yet we feel that their reward will be even greater, because our expressions of gratitude will continue to be manifest throughout the years to come. What success we may achieve, whatever accomplishments may become ours, they too shall participate, they too, will experience that thrill which comes from “something accomplished, something done,” and we shall gladly share our triumphs with them. We could not rightfully leave Peabody High School without expressing our gratitude to Mr. Frederick R. McManus who assisted us materially in the preparation of this “META”. To Miss Mary Luz, our competent financial adviser, we extend our sincere thanks. We shall always remember with gratiture Mrs. Eva L. Haines who directed the art work of this year book. To Mr. Thomas Callahan, our class adviser, we shall ever be indebted for all that you have done for us during our senior year. And now we think of Miss Mary Luz, Mr. Arthur V. Johnson, Miss Anna B. Carroll, Mr. Edward T. Donahue, and Mr. D. Edward Gorman, our homeroom teachers, who have helped us during our senior year. We know that we are indebted more to you than we could ever be able to repay. You have taken a personal interest in each of us as individuals and have done for the class of 1952, all that was possible to make our last year pleasant and profitable. To Mr. Arthur Barry, our principal, we must also express our most sincere thanks. Often and often, in the days to come, when we are thrown more and more upon our own guidance and intuition, our minds will travel back to you, and we will see how many times you have helped us. To the entire faculty, we sincerely thank you for all that you have so cheerfully done for each one of us, and trust that the years to come may demonstrate to your satisfaction as well as to our own, that you were really as successful as even your ambition could desire, in making of all of us — men and women.
