EBEN S. IIUBB 94:-11979359 HE retirement of Mr. Eben S. Cobb in June, Principal of Clinton High School for over three decades, marks the climax of the career of an edu- cator, friend, and counselor to the youth of Clinton. Perhaps no one now living can evaluate the history of secondary schools in our community better than he. Certainly no one has more memories of the drama, tragedies, defeats, and triumphs of our school population over 'the years than Mr. Cobb. When Mr. Cobb first came to C. H. S. as a teacher of science he showed early in his new profession that he was a man of talent and promise. His ap- pointment as principal, in 'l9'l7, began an ascent in eductional circles that brought about the well- known fact that C. H. S. graduates were products of high learning, erudition and intelligence. As football coach and athletic director of a stern period, now almost forgo-tten, Mr. Cobb proved him- self the equal of other coaches in this area by send- ing out teams in superb condition and with superior knowledge. Check too the athletics and graduates of that period to see how much was accomplished by men tutored and trained by the retiring principal. Mr. Cobb's educational career, brilliant and spec- tacular, won for him the title of a student with honor grade proportion. After graduating from C. H. S. he attended Holy Cross College, and later attended Harvard Law School. He is a member of the Massachusetts Law Bar. An ardent disciple of lzaak Walton, Mr. Cobb spends vacations at his favorite brooks. ln addition, he is still, at heart, the liberal arts student avidly interested in the classics, poetry, and world liter- ature. Above all, Eben S. Cobb has won the respect and admiration of several generations of students for his administrative skill, impartiality, and in- tegrity. His general over-all ability finds him and has found him as a man who has worked per- sistently, patiently, and with enormous enthusiasm at the edge of growing knowledge in the com- munity. The Class of 1954, therefore, joins with a wide legion of Mr. Cobb's friends to wish him years of happiness and serenity as he embarks upon his new career.
