During the past several months we have observed the steady growth of an addition to our High School. This addition is a symbol of the character that we, ourselves, have been building in all our activities. When the solid foundation was laid, we were in the football stands learning sportsmanship by rooting for our team to bring home a victory. We saw the wooden framework silhouetted against the sky when we came to dances in the fall. When the floors were being laid, we were busy learning citizenship by working together for the successful production of a play. While the building grows, we too grow, through our Senior Activities, in our capacity for leadership. The addition will be com¬ pleted when we complete our high school education and graduate. The Yearbook of the Class of 1956 will take you back now and show you how we have been building . . . LLESLEY FREE LIBRARY ? AvELLESLEY, MASS. 02482 Molding character can be compared to construct¬ ing a building. An all-over plan is drawn; the ground is broken; a solid foundation is laid; the framework is built; and eventually a structure of great durability and usefulness is completed.
