I A I D E D O N '937 To Our £Jacultij £icjht” Anderson Tracy Porter Lehman Spence Otto Ellingsen Murphy YVe, the Annual Staff, speak! From time immemorial, the Annual has been dedicat- ed to one person each year. This spring we are facing a dilemma. We admit our in- ability to select one teacher from so many outstanding personalities. Neither can we dedicate the book to the whole faculty, since many of them have already been so honored in previous years. We feel justified, there- fore, in throwing precedents to the winds and choosing eight instructors who have proved themselves “Good Samaritans” to all the high school students. We express our gratitude: To Miss Ida Anderson, Miss Veronica Tracy, and Miss Ruth Porter for their con- scientious service in teach- ing us the three “R’s”; With admiration and af- fection, we dedicate our Whirlwind Annual to our “1937 Faculty Eight!” To Mr. Philip Lehman, Miss Wilma Spence, and Mr. Henry Otto for their friendly guidance in our student activities; To Mr. Carl Ellingsen and M iss Lucile Murphy for their successful supervision of physical education.

-Mr. Rex Rubiam Superintendent of the Albany Public Schools. Few of us may realize it. but it is through the executive and business ability of our su- perintendent, Mr. Putnam, more than any other one man that we are today enjoying our wonderful new school. Mr. Putnam has spent many hours, when the rest of us were at leisure, planning and suggesting ways and means to bring about the dream we have all had for the new high school. One thing that we appreciate more than any other, perhaps, is his pleasant smile, which he is continually giving us even when he is surrounded with chaos and confusion. One of the most valuable results of Mr. Putnam’s foresight is the splendid public ad- dress and broadcasting system which we have in the high school. —E. A. H. Principal of Albany Senior High School. Mr. Hudson gave valuable service in pre- paring for the construction of our new high school building set-up. His knowledge of construction work and of the needs of a mod- ern educational plant and his interpretation of blueprints were indispensable. He gave freely and unstintingly of his efforts and of his expert training at all times. Mr. Hudson assisted especially in the for- mulation of the preliminary plans for the ar- rangement of the rooms and the special fea- tures in the remodeling part of the construc- tion. He is responsible for a great many of the innovations which are so necessary for ef- ficient instruction. His special training and his long experience were cheerfully available at any time in the solving of many vexing problems. R. P. [8]
