OREL M. BEAN I am very happy to extend to you my sincere congratulations upon your graduation from Senior High School. It is my hope that you will consider this only a step in the pro¬ cess of education and that you may have the desire and opportunity to continue the work well started. Today as never before there is a great demand for leadership of high quality and in¬ tegrity. Your opportunities for worthwhile achievement are unlimited. You have the cour¬ age, the imagination, and energy of youth in one of the most interesting periods of history, and you should view the years ahead with optimism. By continued study you should pre¬ pare yourselves to take part actively as informed and responsible citizens in the solution of social, economic, and political problems of community, state, and nation. You will do well to remember that it is character which will determine the extent of your individual success. Therefore, dare to be fine, true, and upright in all that you do. Your Yearbook, is a marked achievement. We rejoice with you in its success. As you turn its pages through the years, memories of happy days at Woburn Senior High School will give you great enjoyment.

J. FRANK HASSETT To the Members of the Senior Class: The Age of Security has arrived in our country. Federal and State Laws now re¬ quire all working citizens or their employer, and in some cases both, to set aside a small portion of their earnings for security in their old age. Some of you will continue your education in September at schools of higher learn¬ ing; others among you will enter immediately into the competitive field of employment. You will be told about Social Security Withholding, Labor Union Membership, Blue Cross Health Insurance, U. S. Savings Bonds, etc., which will be withheld from your salary wherever you work. Although these withholdings will lower your take home salary, all are worthwhile benefits which will later help to guarantee security should you become ill, unemployed, or eventually reach the compulsory retirement age. Lest we forget, we do live in a Modern City, a Progressive Commonwealth, and a County which has God’s Blessing. Opportunities are numerous, and your chances for success in life are excellent. Congratulations to you, and to your Parents upon your completion of your high school course. J. Frank Hassett Superintendent of Schools
