0 SEN1oR Crass Book Elwin A. Ladd, Ph. B. S THE Class of 1914 graduates it also marks the closing of a very success- ful year of our new superintendent- Elwin A. Ladd. At. the beginning of this school year Mr. Ladd took up the Work left by Professor John Kennedy. To take up the work where Professor Kennedy left off was no easy task. But Mr. Ladd has shown himself equal to that task. Since 1902 Mr. Ladd has been con- nected with this High School. He has won the heart of every individual and all who graduate this year appreciate the aid he has given to them. Mr. Ladd has also been highly in favor of athletics and social functions in the high school, and has always given them a helping hand. It was much to Mr, Ladd's joy that he was principal of the High School last year, when the largest graduating class in its history C at that timey was graduated. But now he enjoys being superintendent of the largest class ever graduating, sixty-three in number. It has been the delight of the graduates themselves that they have had such a capable person at their head, as Mr. Ladd. We, the Class of 1914, extend to Mr. Ladd our heartiest thanks for his- help and wish him much renown and success in his future work. 1 N
