DR. CALVIN E. W1LC0x Mr. Bottomley died when we were sophomores, before we had sat in any of his classes. Dr. Wilcox, whom we learned to respect as the head of the Dedham school system when we en- tered the first grade, died in the fall of our senior year. Mr. Eaton, loved by generations of Dedham High pupils, retired at the end of our junior year, but after Dr, Wilcox's death returned as acting superintendent of schools. Miss Lucy and Miss Madeline Clough retired at the end of 1953. .fdncl jken lm glnferecf The Dedham High School we en- tered in 1950 was very different from the one We left in 1954. None of the rooms had been painted, and the li- brary was a tiny, poorly equipped room. The greatest difference, how- ever, was in our teachers and admin- istrators. Dr. Calvin E. Wilcox was superintendent of schools, Mr. Ralph A. Eaton was principal, and Miss Lucy Clough, Miss Madeline Clough, Mr. James Dunne, Mr. Roger Randall, Miss Barbara Gurney, and Mr. How- ard Bottomley Were on the faculty. MR. RALPH A. EATON
