With pride, with pleasure, and with a sense of privilege, the class of 1960, the last class to be graduated from Roxbury Memorial High School, dedicates this yearbook to our Head Master, Dr. Paul B. Crudden, in apreciation of his never-failing kindness and sincerity. Dr. Crudden's career has many intimate bonds with Memorial. A teacher in the boys’ school from 1930 to 1942 and Co-ordinator from 1949 to 1951, he came a third time in 1953 as Head Master of the boys’ school. In this, the last year of this great school, he has been Head Master of the combined boys’ and girls’ schools. Dr. Crudden can look back with pride and happiness on his years at Memorial. He has known the school and loved it. He has guided it and fought for it. His help and guidance have always been at the instant service of pupils and alumni. His interest has sustained them, his encouragement has inspired them. He has appreciated the part that Memorial should play in the community life of Roxbury, and he has striven that he and the school might continue to serve the people of the district. And now Dr. Crudden leaves, we leave, and Memorial is no more. Perhaps more keenly than any others, we of the last graduating class feel the pangs of a great loss. We know what Memorial has meant to us, and much of that knowledge is the result of our association with Dr. Crudden. We have seen his love for the school; we have been grateful for his competent skill in blending into a united school the separate traditions of both boys’ and girls’ schools; we have grown to know with affection his friendly smile, his easy manner, his firm judgment, and his eagerness to know each of his pupils as an individual person, and not just another senior. As the last class, we shall carry away not merely the memories of a traditional senior year, but something more valuable—the inspiring influence of a Head Master who has prepared us to meet the world as better persons, who has instilled in us a love of all that Memorial stands for; and so long as one of us shall live, that love and that influence will insure that the spirit of Memorial does not die. Dedication
