CHESTER BLISS MASTER As one learns to know Mr. Cain one finds that he is not the av erage sort; he is quick witted, intelligent, capable of giving sound advice, and possesses a good sense of humor. Those who have had dealings with him at School realize that they have come in contact with a man of sound principles. He is always ready to give advice to those who need it. Those who deserve his praise attain it, and those who merit punishment receive it from him. A man of mighty thoughts, an expo- nent of world politics, a greatly liked mas- ter, that is Mr. Bliss. His comprehension of history, and of current events he has transmitted to us by most lucid exposi- tions. In his dealings with indifferent students he displays keenness of insight. His adroitness at character reading is an- other of his many endowments. Above all else, though, we appreciated his un- pretentious manner, which caused us to have the utmost confidence in him. MR. HeADMASTER’S ASSISTANT GEORGE H. CAIN Page 15

puny TCX eeecicscaceuces= ! pt Have you ever been a member of one of her Latin classes? If not, your edu- cation is incomplete, for certainly there is no experience quite like it. Her lectures are as original as her vocabulary is picturesque and expressive. Besides being amusing, they are extraordinarily effective. : Miss Driscoll’s charm of personality has taken a place in our hearts which will ever remain as a memory to us of her who was our sincere sympathizer, our true friend. MISS ELIZABETH M. DRISCOLL DEAN OF SOPHOMORE GTRLS Among the faculty, there is one woman who, as soon as we entered School, became for us a sort of idol, a kind of goddess. She seemed rather remote, but infinitely admirable. She reassured bewildered parents and man- aged rebellious students efficiently. Somehow she seemed to know each pupil’s activities, a characteristic which added a personal touch to her confer- ences. ‘There could be no finer character to mold the freshman girls than that of Miss Russell. | MISS HILDA RUSSELL as ) DEAN OF FRESHMAN GIRLS OF ; Page 14

MISS ANNA P. BUTLER HEADMASTER’S ASSISTANT She has certainly been favored by the gods beyond others. We question whether the gods are just; and this is our grievance. Why should one person hav e everything; an astute intelligence and a nimble tongue with which to master French and Spanish, the ability to plant those languages in the minds of unappreciative pupils, the golden act of conversation, and last, to spice them all with a bit of human nature, subtle wit and humor? However, since we are allowed to participate in her gifts and to reap the benefit of them, we will forgive the gods and submit to the inevitable. We unanimously extend to her the sincere admiration due to her extensive knowledge of our own English language, a subject both difficult and involved. She has bestowed on us a gift which we shall carry to our graves, the love of poetry, which she possesses in so great a measure. Her dry humor, her frank- ness and honesty have created in us a respect and an affection for her, as well as for the virtues she so well exemplifies. MISS HENRIETTA E.
