In ilnnnriam During the last weeks of our high school careers, we were deeply shocked and saddened at the sudden and untimely death of our beloved teacher and friend, Edward M. Brawley. As Head of the History Department and teacher of United States History, Big Ed , as well as being a most outstanding teacher, was, to us, a remarkable man. He constantly amazed us with his vast knowledge of the liberal arts, and by his brilliant mind, his jocund disposition and his uncanny ability to make the classroom both interesting and profitable, he became endeared to all of us Seniors who were fortunate enough to have come under his capable guidance. This man’s versatility knew no bounds. Mr. Brawley was a graduate of Medford High School, where he was captain of the state championship football team. EIc was also captain of the Holy Cross College eleven and was selected by Walter Camp for his Alb American football team. Mr. Brawley, after graduating from Holy Cross College, played professional football with the late Jim Thorpe of Carlisle Indian fame. He came to Peabody in 1922, and was extremely successful as a coach of football, basketball and baseball. We are little surprised at his prowess in athletics for it was in his nature to be a perfectionist in whatever he might undertake. This was but one of many admirable principles which he instilled in us. Of Mr. Brawley, we can justly say, that no man could have created a more favorable impression nor could any man have been the object of more love and respect in the hearts of those with whom he came in contact — the faculty and stU ' dents of Peabody High School. With heartfelt sympathy, we extend our sincere condolences to his family, to whom we can merely say, “God has chosen. We have lost a beloved friend and benefactor whose many kindnesses and efforts in our behalf shall have an irreplace ' able position in the memories of the Class of ’56.”

Dedicated to MR. ARTHUR V. JOHNSON S OME men work in the glare of publicity, in the center of the stage; others perform quietly behinel the scenes, enthusiastically and efficiently. Mr. Johnson, Head of our English Department never turned the spotlight on himself, yet his capable ability and guidance has played a great part in the sue- cess of both our Observer and Meta. With a keen understanding of students and a vast degree of patience, he has gamed the respect and ad ' miration of the entire school, especially that of the Senior class. In recognition of this, and of his constant interest and effort in our behalf, we, the. class of 1956, dedicate this Meta.
