for long and The Mascoutin Staff of Berlin High School is proud to dedicate the 1951 Mascoutin to Clay D. Lamberton who has served the school and the city for 31 years. During those 31 years Mr. Lamberton has given out 2,097 High School Diplomas. In 1920 the school board was looking for a man with a fine educational background and one who could handle a tough disciplinary problem. The school board decided Mr. Lamberton was the man for the job. During that time high schools were preparing their students for col- lege. Mr. Lamberton realized that only a small percentage of our students went on to college. He put forth a plan to have our school prepare students for college as well as to prepare those who did not go on to college for other work. He recommended that our vocational subjects be expanded. During the 1930's, when our nation was experiencing its worst eco- nomic depression, dollars were scarce. Many schools were forced to cut down and eliminate extra curriculum. However, Mr. Lamberton, seeing the need and importance of Physical Education, Home Economics, and Manual Arts, maintained them during this difficult time. He is to be con- gratulated for his excellent management of the Berlin Public schools during this critical period. Realizing that Berlin was the center of a large farm trading area, Mr. Lamberton introduced the farm agriculture course into our schools. By doing this he has made the schools serve the city by increasing its trade. Today, Berlin High School's Agriculture course is one of the best in the state. During the 1940’s Mr. Lamberton insisted on maintaining a good school. In order to do this he had to teach an almost full time schedule plus the administration of school problems. Mr. Lamberton is a graduate of Milwaukee State Teachers College. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Ripon College and received his Master of Arts degree from Northwestern. He has attended and taught many college summer school sessions. Mr. Lamberton is very well known for his public speaking and as a writer. This is only a brief sketch of the many valuable services that Mr. Lam- berton has rendered to the school and the community. We are sure that everyone who has attended Berlin High school is proud of the service this great man has given to us. The Mascoutin wishes to extend sincere wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Lam- berton for a long and happy period of retirement.
