The changes which he brought were welcome increases in school spirit. Thus during IQS6-'57 we have gladly ac- cepted his leadership in every angle of school life. Dressed in his bright red shirt and grey suit, Mr. Derthick has personally led our football team on to victory by his enthu- siastic cheering. XVith his diligence and pa- tience he has arranged a new recess sched- ule which has benefited every Grady stu- dent. In a kind and gracious manner he has aided many pupils with their problems in scholarship or discipline.
