MA Such a decision was obviously not easy for a gentleman whose father and grandfather had preceeded him as President of the Academy Captain Brewster s life reveals nothing but love and devotion for GMAfWoodward Academy ln l937 he was gradu ated from GMA at the age of I5 Urged by his father he enrolled in the United States Naval Academy from which he was gradu ated in I94l During World War ll he served in the U S Navy for five years in which time he was awarded the Silver Star Medal and the Bronze Medal while in combat on a suicide mission Initially through a Red Cross package received from Kather me Cummings and her roommate Captain Brewster met Mrs Brewster ln I947 he returned to GMA as a teacher of mathemat ics and later became Dean in I949 in which capacity he served until recalled to active duty by the Navy IH I95I where he served as a Naval Intelligence Officer ln I953 he again returned to GMA to become Superintendent CHeadmasterD ln l96I when his father retired Captain Brewster was elected by the Governing Board as President His membership and leadership in civic and independent education organizations are well known in the Atlanta area and the Southeast His wife has graciously functioned as the Acade my s first lady and their three daughters and four granddaugh ters have brought them pride and happiness Perhaps II was the inspiration of his grandfather's letter or the love and discipline of his father and mother, but In any event Captain William R Brewster was obviously a man born to be president Dedication To William R.
