rel Long ere the good ship Compass left its pier, the valiant captain and his intrepid first mate had charted the course with watchful care, alert to steer clear of dangerous reefs and hidden shoals. Guided by their skill and vigilance, sus' tained by faithful officers, equipped to weather every squall, the gallant vessel put out to sea. Under fair skies and foul she rode the waves, conquered every storm and triumphantly dropped anchor in the port of success. KHS

JJ We, the Graduating Class of 1940, sincerely and affection- ately dedicate our year book to the man who so efficiently and sympathetically carries out his task as Assistant Principal, to the man who, because of his heartfelt desire to understand and assist us, has so merited this recognition-Mr. john N. Chassin. Mr. Chassin was graduated from Hutchinson Central High School in 1909, after which he attended Buffalo Normal School. Between the years 1911 and 1914, he was Principal of the High School in Allentown, New York. After three years, he became a teacher in Public School 58. In January 1922, he was appointed head of the Department of Science at South Park High School. In 1929 he was graduated from Canisius College with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Later he increased his knowledge of science and philosophy with extension work at Canisius. He was appointed head of the South Park Annex in September of 1954, where he remained until he received his present appointment. In each of these positions Mr. Chassin distinguished himself for his capability and geniality. Many are the arduous tasks he performs in his capacity as the Assistant Principal. On his shoulders rests the duty of supervising the attendance records, and it is from him that the absentee secures the slip admitting him to class. At times he takes charge of honor assemblies and acts as chairman of the debates. Mr. Chassin now resides in Vlfilliamsville with his wife and two children. On vacations, he prefers golfing and fishing as his outdoor activities, while in winter, his favorite pastime is bowling, at which he is very adept. Mr. Chassin heartily approves of sports, and has a firm conviction that every boy should take part in some form of athletics to develop body, mind and character. Our Assistant Principals stern outward appearance con- ceals a profound warmth of heart. Inspiration he was, friend he still is, and ideal will he always be, to us, the members of the 1940 Graduating Class. KHS e LC6LfLOIZ
