1932 RINDGE TECH BROWNIE THE NEW RINDGE TECH BUILDING S OUR BOOK goes to press, our dream, the New Rindge, is beginning to take form. Anyone who has visited the main office during the last four months has been confronted with a mass of plans, blueprints, etc. Our headmaster has labored long and hard to make the new school the best in the land. The building will contain about eighty-five classrooms, several offices, a gym- nasium, an auditorium (which will seat fifteen hundred people), a cafeteria on the top floor, and many other modern conveniences which students at the Cambridge Manual Training School, the ancestor of Rindge Technical School, would be at a loss to understand. The rooms will be connected by a telephone system. In the auditorium there will be a motion picture machine equipped for sound productions for visual education. The stage will have all the appurtenances for presenting dramatics and other forms of entertainment. When we return in future years, it will be as a stranger to a new city. We will be proud to have graduated from a set of buildings rich with tradition, but we will also be glad that these antiquated buildings have been replaced by the beautiful building as pictured above. cA 11

1932 RINDGE TECH BROWNIE OUR HEAD-MASTER---MR. JOHN W. WOOD s+ EDN CLD 1 SS. sy) |RADUATION always produces a certain sadness intermingled with the usual accompanying joys. Weare sorry at this time because we realize that our high school days are a thing of the past. No longer are-wehigh | school students. Weare sorry at this time because we have to leave behind friends we may never see again. Joy also is inthe airat gradu- ation because we know that we have completed successfully the prescribed course. We are also joyful in the realization that we are members of the Rindge Alumni and as such have a definite responsibility. We will return to her often for the sturdy advice and counsel that we shall surely need. The headmaster of our school typifies what a principal of Rindge should be. He was ever ready to assist us in our difficulties and yet placed us on our own re- sponsibility toa degree that made our characters stronger and more sturdy. To John W. Wood, our headmaster, we extend our heart-felt appreciation at this time of parting. The benefits and advice he has given us we cannot as yet fully comprehend. None the less we cherish a sincere regard for him and know we are better and will be better youths because of our associations with him. At the clos- ing of four happy years we have spent under his care we go forth hoping by our lives to bring honor and glory to Rindge. This truly would be an admirable method of showing our appreciation to our beloved headmaster. Cx 13) «ORR
