Miss Alice Chynoweth No class adviser has served any more faithfully than Miss Alice Chynoweth, the mentor of the Class of 1940. For the past three years she has devoted nearly all her spare time to planning and managing our class activities. Night after night she has attended socials, plays, tryouts, play rehearsals, committee meetingsg she has supervised the ordering of class rings and pinsg she has aided greatly in the organization of the Yearbook: she has helped with our class photographsg she has had full charge of formulating many of the plans for our never-to-be-forgotten commencement week. It is but courteous that early in this class yearbook, we of the class of 19-L0 express to Miss Chynoweth our deepest gratitude for performing so efficiently and so ungrudgingly the numerous and onerous tasks which have fallen to her. lVIay part of her reward be the knowledge that she has given us a wealth of pleasant, memories. None of us will recall our days at B. H. S. without associating them with Miss Chynoweth. 11

Mr. Elston Gaylord During the forty-one valuable years lNIr. Gaylord has devoted to the students of Beverly High School. he has made and kept innumerable friends. He came to Beverly from Uleveland, Ohio in l899,and immediately established the f'ommercial Department.of which he has been head since that time. M1'. Gaylord has ever continued to build his department so that now it is regarded as one of the best of its kind among lllassachusetts high schools. Our benevolent submaster has been active in numerous organizations. In 19052 he organized the New England High School Association and has never missed a meeting. He also organized and is now manager of the National Commercial Teachers' Agency and is a past president of the English Teachers' Association. Because of his sympathetic understanding lNIr. Gaylord has become almost a father to his students. The time has come for him to retire Although he is leavine our school, we should not feel that he is leaving us, for he resides not far from the school at the top of Peabody Avenue in a beautiful house. where be will always be at home to his former pupils. llost of his time will be spent in caring for his lovely garden and lingering with the memories of his year s in our school. lVe shall always remember Mir. Gaylord as a true gentleman and acomforting friend. VVe shall never forget his undying patience in his many trying conferences with us in which he never failed to appease our troubled young minds. He has often said that the greatest tribute his students can pay him is not to become a bank president but to remember and use the quotations he has taught them. 13
