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

RINDGE TECH BROWNIE 1932 MR. JAMES F. CONLIN OUR YEARS AGO we entered Rindge and were immediately informed by the upper classmen that under no circumstances or conditions should we arouse the wrath of a man, who to outward appearances seemed pleasant and harmless. As time passed we realized the wisdom of the advice we had received. This man became our friend, our adviser. He showed us the way. Fair, just, friendly and yet firm and unswerving when rules or regultaions of the school were broken. As we glance back over our four years we can fully appreciate the value of Mr. Conlin to our Alma Mater. His advice and counsel helped us to see our goal more clearly, and when we chanced to stray from the path of righteousness in school matters this man brought us back abruptly and decisively. Mr. Conlin, we will never forget you. Your fatherly attitude, both disciplinary and advisory, has served to make of us, we hope, a class of boys, soon to be men, that Rindge will always be proud to call her own. Ca 14 «9K
