One of the most, if not the most, under- standing figures to be found around the Benson Polytechnic School is Mr. Harry H. Hargreaves, our first vice-principal and dean of men. ln Mr. Hargreaves, we seniors have found a man capable of handling any situation and always ready with a helping hand for any of us at any time. Mr. Hargreaves has been at Benson for more than 20 years except for a brief tenure during the war when he took the place of Mr. Eldon Ienne as director of athletics for the Portland Pub- lic Schools. We all wish to thank Mr. Hargreaves for his untiring efforts with the class of Iune l948. MR. BROWN MR. HARGREAVES Mr. George W. Brown, who holds the office of second vice-principal in the ad- ministration of the Benson Polytechnic School, is in charge of the attendance records of the school. He has been at Benson for many years and has had long experience in the science depart- ment. He replaced Mr. Hargreaves as first vice-principal during the war years and was assigned the position of second vice-principal with the retirement of Mr. Omar N. Bittner two years ago, a posi- tion he has held ever since. Mr. Brown also takes a deep interest in the students of Benson and we wish to thank him for his efforts with us.
