or many years kindly Mr. Jordan has given his time gen- erously to the students of Braintree High. Known and loved by faculty and students alike, he is a person one meets and im- mediately admires and respects for the sincerity of his convic- tions. First and foremost he is a friend who uses his leadership as councilor as well as a disciplinarian. Any punishment he finds it necessary to exercise is to aid the character growth of the student, not to repay him for some wrong done. Like the architect who designs fine buildings, he molds foresight and dependability into the make-up of the pupils. “For the winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigator.” Regulating and planning courses of study for the individual good as well as for the betterment of the school itself is another of his tasks. He grants personal interviews to the seniors in order that they may not be lost in the shuffle between gradua- tion and the work-a-day world. Mr. Jordan is a sensitive man with his finger on the pulse of Braintree High. His jovial good will has endeared him to all of us; for this and his keen interest in our activities, we the Class of ’48 salute him.
