DR. ARTHUR C. SIDES While mining for gold requires a high standard of work and excellent cofoperation, it is obvious that the successful operation of a gold mine de- pends upon an efficient mine executive. The Oren of the Central High School Mine has been very fortunate to have, as the head prospector, Dr. Arthur C. Sides, who is doing an excellent job in removing the impurities from the gold, and producing the true metal. A native of South Groveland, Massachusetts, Dr. Sides is a graduate of Dartmouth College. He received his Doctor's degree in Pedagogy from New York University in 1914. He came to Bridgeport on February 14, 1916, and for two years from the date of his arrival, he was an ex' cellent miner in .the C. H. S. Mine, teaching his' tory and mathematics. Dr. Sides served in the first Psychological Company of the army during the first World War. Returning from the war in December 1918, he was made Assistant Principal of Central until September 1940, at which time he became Acting Principal, .taking over Mr. Moore's vacated position in the mine. Then, in 1942, he received his commission as Head Prospector, thus be- coming the principal of the C. H. S. Mine. Dr. Sides' understanding and helpful guidance in dealing with the problems of each student and his generous advice and assistance have won him the gratitude of the entire student body. We of the 1949 graduating class would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to Dr. Sides, without whose invaluable leadership and sound advice, we would not have altained the standard that we have today. lil
