1933 RINDGES TECH +SCHOOL 1933 OUR HEAD-MASTER---MR. JOHN W. WOOD 1 EEA USS OFF WE REVIEW our four years at Rindge we begin to realize the value of an able schoolexecutive. You have guided us for these four long years, through all our hardships and good fortunes, ’till at last, as we graduate from this school, we leave behind us a man who shall be a friend to every member of the class of 1933, wherever he may be. For a good many years, Mr. Wood, you have hoped and planned for a new building to house all the students comfortably. At last your dream has come true, and, if I may add, you have helped to fulfill your own dream by your hard work and your willingness to strive for the success of Rindge. Single handed almost you have planned the beautiful edifice which now houses us. Architects, builders, mechanics and other men have created this building but you alone were the guiding hand; you alone thought, planned, dreamed of the day when Rindge would rise to new heights. You, through all the stress and added burdens always found time to promote, assist, and all in all, always found time to make our class activities a social and scholastic success. You are a man who has had the true spirit of Rindge close to your heart ever since you first crossed the portals of the old school. You are a man who has a smiling face for every one who is in any way connected with the school. The class of 1933 hopes that you will long guide the destinies of the new Rindge. A dream, a dream well planned and now a realization over which your guiding hand will long remain. Such is the sincere hope of the class of 1933.

1935 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 1933 MR. JAMES F. CONLIN OfMe LEAVE RINDGE but we will return, that is, we have all intentions ot be coming enthusiastic Rindge graduates. But if some of our class through conditions that may arise are unable to re-visit the school, you may be sure that the class of 1933 is unanimous in the opinion that you are a friend, a real friend, to each and every member of our class. You sir, as we look back, have been the guiding light for members of our class. Some of us perchance did not approve at the time but as- we look back without your guidance some of us would never have completed our high school course. We leave Rindge a stronger, sturdier group of young men be cause of your strong guiding hand. None can say that he ever applied for assist- ance and found you unwilling to help. Farewell, Mr. Conlin—your name will ever be dear to the class of ’33.
