MR. BUTTERFIELD The students of Benjamin Franklin High School are most fortunate in having as a principal so experienced and versatile a man as Mr. Roy L. Butterfield Upon graduation from a New Jersey high school, he worked his way through the University of Rochester where he received the Bachelor of Arts Degree. Not only did he distinguish himself scholastically while in college, but he was prominent in athletic activities, especially track and football. Immediately after graduation from college, Mr. Butterfield taught at a country school and later became principal of a school of the same type Later he was appointed principal of Charlotte High School where he remained for twenty years. Ten yejrs ago he came to Franklin High School as its organizer and first principal, since which time he has worked unceasingly to build and maintain the fine reputation we now possess. Although he is a busy man, with responsibilities in state and national education as well as local, he has always found time to take a kindly interest in our personal problems. We realize the benefits we have received from Mr Butterfield's wise counsel, and we shall long cherish the memory of his help and guidance. MR. SABIN Mr Willard A. Sabin, our genial vice- pnncipal, came to Franklin High two years ago A graduate of Syracuse University, he did advanced work at Columbia and later at the University of Rochester. After teaching at Jefferson High School, he became principal of Francis Parker School, Number 23. It was from this position that he came to us. We have already learned to ap- preciate his ability to handle large responsibilities in educational work both within and without our organization. He has been a sincere, loyal, and devoted friend, always patient and understanding in his guidance. We know that he will continue to be the invaluable adviser to future classes that he has been to us. 14
