WILLARD BURT A favorite teacher here for eight years was lngraham Humphrey, who left West High to become head of the math and science departments at Edison Technical High School. Mr. Humphrey was graduated from Alfred University with a Bachelor of Science degree and received his Masters degree from the University of Rochester. After coming to West in 1950, he taught physics. I-lis gruff military manner and colorful language combined with his mag- nificent sense of humor endeared him to the hearts of his students and fellow faculty members. All who knew him were deeply sorry to see him leave. For his devoted service to West High we, the Class of 1958, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Humphrey. INGRAHAM HUMPHREY 3
