In many schools the curricular relationship is the only one existing between the faculty and the student body, and there is, therefore, very little friendship ex- isting between these two groups. Hut at McCallie one of the first impressions which a boy gets is the fact that the members of the McCallie faculty are not merely teachers but real friends. One might think that with such a close, friendly relationship between the teachers and the students the school work might not he satisfactorily accomplished. However, the fact that McCallie has ranked near the top scholastically among Southern prep schools each year disproves this supposition. It is at very few schools indeed that one finds such a capable, well- rounded faculty. To go into detail of the various characteristics which endear so prodigiously each of these great men would be futile, since they are unlimited. It is only necessary in passing to present their objective positions, for their subjective qualities will linger long after the pages of this hook have yellowed and decayed with age. They are: Dr. J. P. McCallie, Headmaster, Dr. S. xl. Mc- Callie, Headmaster, Dr. T. E. P. VVoods, Associate Headmaster and head of the Bible department, Mr. R. l..
