We of the Class of 1947 look back on four years of a rich academic experience at our beloved Thayer Academy. We owe a debt of gratitude to our headmaster and to our faculty for their untiring efforts in preparing us to meet the complexities of life in a world torn by alien philoso- phies, misunderstanding, and strife. We have been taught to recognize the finer things in life and to discover and pursue a line of reasoning that should make us worthwhile members of society. The friendships that We have made at Thayer are a possession that will always remain with us and give us happy memories for years to come. We shall soon separate to follow our individual paths and endeavors in the vvorldg but the spirit of the Class of 1947 will live on in our hearts. Robert Wesflzrirz A s v-
