Page 4 Illllllllllll MR. CHARLES LeROY STECKEL It is with profound appreciation of many years of faithful service to Blair Academy that the class of 1949 dedicates its Acta to Charles LeRoy Steckel, commissioned a Captain in the First World War, who became a member of the Blair faculty in 1929, and since that time has served as master of mathematics in the Upper School, as house master of West Hall, the Lower School dormitory, and as coach and adviser of the boys under his care. The members of the class of 1949, especially those who as West Hall boys will always associate their first impressions of Blair with Captain Steckel's congenial companionship, will always remember him as a respected master and a loyal friend.
