regardless of sex, race, creed or color.
It is fitting, too, for the Board to Honor all who have, in the past and in

public facilities, and in particular, in thedevelopment of its educational,
recreational and cultural establishments, both public and private.
A spirit of liberty and friendship has been fostered through the Passing years,
and we in 1955 are the recipients of a broad and all embracing civic peace and
community harmony. Each m~u, woman and child of North ~ndover is, in a
definite sense, a custodian of all these gifts of liberty and public integrity
and community pride in our institutions. It is the role of a guardian, then,
to protect,, preserve sa~ely and to hand on to others such peace-producing
~ualities.
Tods~, as we pray together to Almighty God for a lasting peace, we must also
pay tribute to the people of North Andover of the past 100 years wo have exhibi~e
their sincerity, interest and loyalty in the chapters of history of the Town
