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. HEADMASTER’S McINTIRE ASSISTANT Page 16

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

MR. CECIL T- Mastrer’s ASSISTANT DERRY We have sometimes thought her cold and removed; but after knowing her, we realize that she is, in truth, deeply sympathetic, that one of her chief interests is our welfare. As a teacher of Latin and German, she is extra- ordinarily adept; but not only for this will we, in later years, remember her with much gratitude. Her untiring efforts to make a success of our School paper, her generous and wise advice with regard to the Year Book have endeared her to us as a teacher, adviser, and friend. Page 17 All of us who have gone through the early stages of “‘amo, amas” into the trials and tribulations of Caesar, know Mr. Derry. Having known him, we shall always be henented by his bounteously stocked mind. To. talk with him is a source of unique infor- mation. His conversation is an unusual treat because of unusual whimseys and expressions. Cicero, Ovid, and Virgil have become almost real through his quaint character sketches. He is de- lightful in class-room, lecture-hall, or in private conference. We shall remember him not in one of these roles, but in all three. MISS MARY C. MaAsrTer’s ASSISTANT HARDY
