RS. ALICE J. JUDSON was the Grade Adviser ot our class until last term. At that time she was called away to a higher post. She is now serving as Dean ot Girls at Bayside High School. Mrs. Judson was graduated 'From Training School and taught in the elementary schools tor some time. Later, she advanced to the rank ot high school teacher. Those ot us lpractically all in the classl who have been helped by her to solve many ot the knotty problems concerning what subiects to take, what college to prepare tor, etc., were sorry to see her leave, but wished heartily that she might enjoy the same success and popu- larity in her new province that she had al- ready enioyed at Boys High School. To our Grade Advisers this issue is respectfully and gratefully dedicated. R. SHEERIN stepped in to till the breach caused by the departure ot Mrs. Judson, and he has performed very successfully the difficult and onerous tasks required of the Grade Ad- viser ot a graduating class. Mr. Sheerin, his full name is William Vincent Sheerin, was graduated from Fordham University in I923. He received his B.A. and later earned a Mas- ter's degree. ln I924 he came to Boys High as a substitute.
