Classical High School - Blue and White Yearbook (Springfield, MA)

When school opened in September 1954, a familiar person was not with us. Miss Lewis, homeroom teacher for the Girls’ Patrol and teacher of languages, retired at the end of last year. Although she was “petite,” she could hardly be overlooked. She was admired and respected for her quiet manner which never left her whether she was teaching a class, advising Girls’ Patrol, or merely walking through the hall. Although Miss Lewis has been missed this year at Classical, especially among the Girls’ Patrol who knew her so well and for whom she did so much, the faculty and students sincerely hope she enjoys her retirement and will be able to do all she has always wanted to do. Elizabeth Lewis Dedication To Miss Horrigan and Miss Lewis the Blue and White for 1955 is gratefully and affectionately dedicated.

Irene Horrigan Miss Horrigan, one of the best history teachers at Classical High School, is the adviser of the Blue and White advertising staff. For eight years the advertising staff under her direction has obtained advertisements to assist in paying for the publi- cation of the yearbook. In the course of her advisership, Miss Horrigan has had to give up much of her unassigned time. Her help has been very valuable to the adviser and staff of the Blue and White, and they as well as Classical High School are greatly indebted to Miss Horrigan for her unselfish de- votion, and wish her all the joys that go with retirement after a job well done.
