Costello Latin, FACULTY We, the Class of 1958, owe a debt of gratitude to our faculty. These able workers have helped and guided us through our high school days. Their influence and teaching will be felt in the future as they are today. Few of us ever pause to appreciate their efforts to encourage us toward the fulfillment of our ambitions. Without their unfailing interest, we would have accomplished little. We sincerely offer our thanks to them. 12 Anastia G. Canty French Joseph F. Curran, Jr. Social Studies Paul E.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE i Mr. Blake discusses the program with Mr. Vallario. MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1958: The eve of graduation for the class of 1958 is a time fraught with anxiety. It recalls the words of Dickens writ¬ ing of another era in history: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity ... it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. Certainly the momentous events of your last year in high school, the increasingly wondrous developments in science, and the inquiries of our leaders require us to ask how well we have prepared to enter our complex modern world as graduates in the spring of 1958. A new chapter in the record of mankind dawned with the first release of nuclear energy! We have come far from the relatively simple society which existed in the early days of our high school in the mid-nineteenth century. The ever- changing and organic society of 1958 is a daily challenge to the methods of education in our present secondary schools. Yet the principal aim of the Woburn High School has always been to provide the best possible education that our community could provide to meet the contemporary educational needs of the youth who attend the school. It is hoped that we have learned from history that the great problem of our times may well be the proper develop¬ ment of moral and spiritual values. If the days at hand are grim, we must strengthen our faith in the present and in the great potentialities that lie within all of us. We must remember as we enter the competitive task of daily living in our American democracy in 1958 that the thing that counts is not what we can ' t do, but what we can. We must use our abilities, not our disabilities. In that, I feel, you and our country will reach our greatest day. Henry D. Blake Principal
