S Amhvrut High Svthnnl Ahminiztratinn It was with genuine pleasure that we anticipated the opening of school and the advent of Mr. Cook in the autumn of 1919, for our previous school year had been broken up by influenza, liberty bond campaigns and innumerable other causes. We expec- ted a most pleasant and successful year and all our expectations were more than realized. Mr, Cook mat- erially raised our scholastic standard, and instituted mid-year and final examinations which put our school on a par with the best of secondary schools. His duties done so well in the High School, he was given in addition supervision of all the Amherst Schools. These combined responsibilities, how- ever, were too great for any one man to WILLIAM H. BROWN JASON O. COOK carry, so the principalship had to be given up. But, even though we have no intimate relations with him at pres- ent, we shall always remember with pleasure the relations of the past. At the middle of the school year, Mr. Williarn H. Brown, who was previously assistant principal, became principal. Although he has not pre- sided very long we know him to be an excellent head master and the suc- ceeding classes are to b'e congratulated on having him. 1921 expresses the hope that instead of having the mis- fortune of further changes the under- classmen may all graduate during his regime.
