QQ KQUJQCJ CVQHIQ To the students and teachers of Davis, it has been a common occurrence to see Miss Catharine Rhodes, Assistant Superintendent-of-Schools, in the halls and classrooms of our school. Upon her shoulders rests the burden of correcting any ir- regularities occurring in the operation of our school system. Miss Rhodes was the former very efficient head of the Department of Mathematics, and in that position was esteemed and well-liked by former Davis students. lt is, therefore, evident that Miss Rhodes, who has devoted a great deal of her life- time to the trials and tribulations of education, brought honor to Davis High School when she at- tained her present position. We like to think that we have a greater claim on her time than students of other schools have. Students in other schools than ours became more intimately acquainted with Miss Rhodes' elo- quence and charm during the year she served as Acting Superintendent-of-Schools. We salute you, Miss Rhodes, for the excellent service you have given us, and for your continued loyalty to the A. B. Davis High School, and the Mount Vernon public school system, our utmost devotion and praise go to our friend, Miss Rhodes. All Davisites of the graduating class of l947 have thought of Mr. james A. Cullen as a good friend, a good sport, and a hard working pro- Page ten gressive administrator. We, who have known him for the two and a half years that he has been the principal of our school have felt priv- ileged to honor him for his efforts to bring to us the most modern methods of teaching. He has been striving not only to maintain the high scholastic standards of our school, but also to further the advances and benefits previously made in the field of sports. Although Mr. Cullen was acquainted with the students of Davis only by way of his former experience as head of the Summer High School, it did not take long for us to feel that he was our friend. The cooperation which existed between the new principal and the students amazed many, at Mr. Cullen's request, attend- ance by the student body at affairs such as football games, basketball games, school dances and plays was increased to a maximum by leaps and bounds. A stronger and more lasting bond of friend- ship between the principal and the stu- dent was fast becoming the mode in Mount Vernon's largest high school. His whole hearted participation in the Annual Student-Faculty Softball games was pos- itive proof of his friendliness. The students of Davis honor and ap- preciate you, Mr. Cullen, and wish you the best of success.
