Page Four META Peabody High School PEABODY HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER The time has come for us to leave you, The best of Alma Maters to our minds; Yes, the time has come to say adieu, The road of life unwinds. We yearn to dart forward onto that road, New-found freedom excites us; As we prepare to carry our load, We realize how much you ' ve done for us. You were always there with a helping hand, We ' ll miss your open door; There are so many things you understand, Can’t you these years restore? F. G.

Peabody High School META Page Five FOREWORD We have now passed one of the most important milestones in our lives - graduation from high school. For some of us it will mean the end of our formal education; for others it will be the commencement of more extensive schooling in order to help us to prepare further for our lives in this very complex world. Yet, Peabody High School, in both its physical and immaterial aspects, will always remain in our hearts as the place where we formed our first lasting friendships, where we first experienced the thrill of loyalty to our Alina Mater during the tenseness and suppressed excitement of our first football games, and where we learned imperceptibly, but none the less completely, how to get along with others and how to accept them as our friends. We do not know what the future holds for us or whether we shall have the necessary courage and fortitude to meet the problems that face us, but the different people, places and events which contributed to the molding of our characters and our individual personalities during our high school years will have been the best preparation possible for the tasks which lie ahead. Now, nothing can dim the hope and unwavering optimism in our eyes as we look with confidence to the future. This META has been created for the express purpose of making a permanent record of those persons and events which have formed a tangible and closely related part of our lives during the past four years. Although we experience a certain feeling of hesitancy and doubt at the realization that now we must leave these surroundings in which we have spent four happy and profitable years, we are eager, nevertheless, to step forward into the world to face confidently and courageously whatever the fates have in store for us. We, the editors, hope that in the years to come, the scanning of this META will serve as a real help to all of us in recalling the many fond memories of our happy high school days. M. M.
