Su Memunrian Mr. JAMES H. LEONARD This school year though filled with many happy memories has nevertheless left with us an indelible sorrow. The ordinary peaceful and happy course of our school life was darkened shortly before the Christmas holidays by the death of our beloved mas- ter, James H. Leonard. While Mr. Leonard’s passing was a severe loss to the High School at large, it dealt a staggering blow to the pupils at the Annex, who had come to know Mr. Leonard in an intimate manner. His kindly advice, noble example of self sacri- fice, and heartfelt and sincere interest in the welfare of his boys endeared him like a father to all those coming under his care. Mr. Leonard was the most noble example of the true teacher, insisting always that the pupil was the prime consideration of the school. Physically handicapped himself from early life, he was always imbued with a sympathetic understanding for the less fortunate who chanced to come under his care. We do not forget either that besides all this and besides be- ing a true gentleman, he was a brilliant scholar. Few men have minds as keen and as broad. He answered the call of the angel of death on December 5, 1937. Mr. Leonard died as he undoubtedly would have wished, at his office desk in the school he loved, and of which he was the first master and the guiding genius. As we leave high school and enter the laboratory of life, there to work out our individual destinies, we cannot help but feel that the indomitable spirit of our late beloved master will be our surest guide, our noblest example for a useful life. May he rest in peace. 18
