FOREWORD The American high school is an institution of which we should be proud. This year twenty- eight thousand of these schools are celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the found- ing of the Boston Latin School in 1635, the first institution of secondary standing in America. Since the beginning, ideals of education have steadily advanced until the high school of to- day has become a power in the community undreamed of by those who established it. Because of the present importance of secondary education, the tercentenary of its inception is being observed throughout the country. It is therefore fitting that this edition of the Poly- technic Student of 1935 join in this national recognition of secondary education. We pay tribute to those men of the colonies who in a wilderness laid the foundation of the great educational system of today. We remember also those who through the difficult years which followed reaUzed the importance of broadening opportunities for education. We are grateful to the leaders who are making every effort to meet present needs. This, our yearbook, is an expression of our appreciation of those who have promoted education, a pledge of our determination to uphold their ideals. William Miller, Editor, Polytechnic Student
