Dear Members of the Class of 1978, May I extend my sincere congratulations to you upon your graduation from Peabody Vet- erans Memorial High School. You have all seen athletes at times play over their heads. Why? Because of the challenge and its acceptance. Those of us who count struggle as a blessing will ultimately reap the greater rewards of life. I hope your education here has led you to the realization that every mistake, every fault, every difficulty conquered, becomes a stepping stone to better and high- er th ings. It is through such experiences that all who have ever made life worth living have achieved success. To do the right thing at the right time in the right way; to do things better than they have ever been done before; to strive to the best of your ability, and to be satisfied with nothing less than perfection - these are the goals that will lead you to a full and rewarding life. May your future years be filled with health and happiness. Sincerely, William A Welch 19

DEDICATION Mr. Ashby, Mr. Iipman, Mr. Guarente, Miss O ' Neill, Mrs. Block, Miss Costello Senior year is a time of many decisions and conflicts. The future holds a multitude of alternatives -- college, work, raising a family. With time, our ambitions have changed; we have gained a more realistic outlook on life. After graduation, as we venture into the real world we will carry with us the advice of these seven dedicated individuals, who throughout the years have helped us to decide the direction that our futures will take. For their wisdom, their advice, and their ability to exhibit concern for the needs of all students, we, the class of 1978, dedicate the 1978 Meta to our Guidance Counselors, with our deepest gratitude. 18
