Mr. James E. Fleming We who were privileged to have known and to have worked with Mr. Fleming were all deeply impressed by his constant devotion to his duties in life regardless of the circumstances under which he had to perform them. A man like Mr. Fleming cannot be easily forgotten, nor can he be easily replaced. The spirit that he brought to Classical and his students will remain in the hearts of all that knew him. Even until his last day at Classical, the school to which he was so devoted, he gave his undivided attention to each student even to helping them after school. Little did we know that he loved every one of us in such a way that he served us until his very death. Mr. Fleming’s life, as any other human life, cannot be measured in duration of time — for a man’s life is truly measured by his accomplishments. The philosophy that Mr. Fleming taugh t and to which so many graduates of Classical High School were exposed might best be re- vealed in the words of one of his favorite prayers: “May the road rise up to meet you And the wind be always at your back, And may the Lord forever hold you in the hollow of His hand.”

ADMINISTRATION MEMORIAL BRIDGE The Memorial Bridge, spanning the Connecticut River, has long been a prominent landmark in Springfield since its official opening on August 3, 1922. Built at a cost of $6,000,000, the structure is 1500’ long and 80’ wide accommodating four lanes of traffic between this city and West Springfield. The major objective during construction was the creation of a useful bridge withoyt sacrificing beauty. This span serves to connect two thriving communities much the same as the strong link between the administration of Classical High School and its ever in- creasing student body.
