4 7 Rather than make this page a dull one, with words of wisdom from one who feels that the longer he lives and studies the less he knows, I wish to entertain the readers with the foreword from the first publication of a yearbook at Petersham High School: nFor the first time in the history of the Petersham High School, the Senior Class presents to the Alumni and friends of our institu- tion, a publication, HThe Maroon.n As this is the first attempt made at such a project, we hope that you will not criticise us too severely nwe have herein tried to do credit to our High School, and we sincerely hope that each succeeding class will profit by our mis- takes, and annually issue a book. To those whom we have neglected, we would say, be comforted, your turn may come next year.n As one reads NThe Maroonn of 1912, one thinks of the material changes that have evolved in the interim, but as the thoughts and the attitudes of the writers peek through, there appears a basic philosophy that rings true even today, a philosophy which is charac- teristic of our own boys and girls. The esprit de corps is high, attitudes are wholesome, and the thoughts are sincere. It is a good philosophy and one found only in a country of free people. William P. Robbins, Principal 1 8 X X . 111' 1 5' '. fff asff. X J
