Mathematics, especially trigonometry and me- chanical drawing, under Mr. Webber and Mr. Somerville, took an added signihcance. English, taught by Mi1'. Pike and Mr. Brown, besides pro- viding a strong background in American and foreign literature, stressed concise expression in writing and speaking, vocabulary, and grammar. All three are musts for the armed forces. Athletics and organized calisthenics, with Com- l mandol' training, were valuable aids in condition- ing all members of the school. Again these A activities, under the direction of Coaches Morris, Sabisch, Townsend and Mr. Colton, formed an invaluable training for the armed services. Colonel Conners expanded the existing military program to include Rifle Marksmanship, Extended Order Drill, Military Sanitation and Hygiene, and Map Reading. These courses not only provided an interesting contrast to the drill of previous years, but consisted of valuable knowledge for future use. The Sciences under Mr. Crawford, Latin with Mr. Colton, French by Mr. Sharp, German frorn.Mr. Lindsey, History under Mr. Midgley, and Music from Miss Henshaw-all went to provide an interesting and useful curriculum. The Middle School, under Miss Kermeth, Dr. Canfield, and Mr. Moran. again had a successful year, contributing a fine crop of boys for next year's Upper School. This year was a trying year for both student and faculty. Each one was con- fronted with additional duties, and each acquitted himself admirably. Yet the faculty deserves a large measure of the credit for the successful year. There were times when we faltered, stumbled, it was the faculty's determination to push us onward to success that exerted the impelling force. Their motto work, work, and more workn became our motto, their persistency conquered our obstinacy. Here, as we pause before stepping out into lif'e's thoroughfare, we can look back upon our Academy days as an indelible experience in our lives, which has instilled in us the irrepressible desire to move forward. To the faculty, who have made us what we are, we express our heartfelt thanks. Top-Mr. Webber, Mr. Sabisch, Mr. Colton, Miss Henshaw.

THB HEADMASTER The Faculty The faculty, to a large extent, is the determining factor in the success of a school. It controls the courses-what the school has. to offer-and an opinion of the school is necessarily based on what it can furnish its students. There are two ways of presenting a course. A teacher can proceed, with the sober aim of merely completing the course and covering all the required subjects. On the other hand, he can use the requirements as a base for expansion and development of his course, making it both interesting and valuable for his students. In this way the lessons and subject of the course enjoy a much greater degree of permanency than in the first method. Here, every bit of information picked up is added to the student's general knowledge through the simple expedient of making the course interesting to him. The Academy is indeed fortunate in having a faculty whose chief interest is the welfare of the student. This year every course and every activity assumed a great importance. The armed forc-es, in their officer-training programs, set up requirements which neces- sitated a fundamental knowledge of some subjects not in the curriculum. The faculty, in order to help applicants for these programs, widened the range of the work at the Academy and in some cases added new subjects. Col. Conners, Mr. Lindsey, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Pike. ,Q jjla. i A T ! Q . 1 ,
