HI UT EEK T h ; R r T -OKE -4 ► Erural (Caiu ' rhi Headmaster, Brookline High School 1930 - 1931 Ernest R. Caverly, now completing his first year as Headmaster of Brookline High School, came to Brookline under most auspicious conditions. He succeeded a man who had built up in his Faculty such an unfaltering loyalty to the School that, while they grieved over the retirement of their friend and inspiration of many years, they were ready to co-operate in every way with his successor. In addition, he came with the recommenda- tion of a highly successful career behind him. As a teacher and administrator, his advance has been rapid, despite the fact that it was interrupted by the military activities of the World War, during which he served in the Quartermaster Corps in Washington and Jacksonville. His first position was in a private school in Concord, Massa- chusetts, after which he became a teacher of English in the Technical High School at Springfield. Becoming interested in administrative work, he sought and was elected to the principalship of the high school in Brattle- boro, Vermont. He left Brattleboro to become Head of the Department of English at Newton, Massachusetts, where he remained until 1926, when he again gave up teaching for administrative — this time of the Drury High School of North Adams. After four successful years at this school, Mr. Caverly was elected to the position of Headmaster in Brookline. Now the magic carpet makes another turn, and presto! he is whirled out of the principal’s sanctum on to the Superintendent’s throne, to succeed Oscar C. Gallagher, lately resigned an account of ill health. Thus one event “doth tread upon another’s heels So fast they follow.” Mr. Caverly is a man of varied interests. He has been active in the New England Association of Teachers of English and has appeared with frequency upon the programs of the Association. He has been a Director of the National Council of Teachers of English. For a time he was Chair- man of a Committee of the National Council, appointed to make a study of textbooks. He is joint author of Book III of the Aldine English Series. Besides these purely professional pursuits — Mr. Caverly is fond of litera- ture, music, drama, motoring, and travel. He is typically of New England in his devotion to his family and his church. A former colleague provides a more adequate portrait than would be possible from the present writer’s limited acquaintance: “Mr. Caverly has always shown a strong professional spirit. He has always taken a lively interest in the affairs of his community and has always been active in church work. He has many friends who have been pleased to notice his steady advance. His faithful application to his work, his enthusiasm, and his undoubted capability have led us to expect such pro- motion. We all naturally wish him success in his new field.” Now, we too, having greeted him, must wish him “Bon voyage” as he sets forth upon his next adventure. We hope the seas will be calm, the currents and winds favorable, and the port a far one of vision and dreams. 10
