After a period of sr-veral years he was persuaded to return to his old position and this was ill 1!)II7 and since then till now he has had full (•hari;e of the JUutfton High School and Grade Scliools. He has taken two generations tlirough our schools and it is surprising how many of the fathers and mothers of the present classes graduated from the schools under his guidance. Mr. Allen, how -we reverance that name, a man whose whole life has been dedicated to the Education of Ulnttton. He is a man whose A iiole life has influ- enced ns all; a man of the noblest character; a man who -will always be remembered by the members of the class of 1921. lufftoii jKidlit eli®® ELEVEN
