y PATRICK F. HYNES Only those who have been pupils under Mr. Hynes' guidance can fully realize the efforts that he puts forth to increase the pupils' knowledge of Latin. Pat may seem very stern outside the classroom, but to those who had the good fortune of being in his classes, he presents a kindly in- terest and ever present willingness to assist the student to work his way out of the mazes of Caesar, Cicero and Virgil. We hope that his success in his chosen profession may continue. NELLIE KENT Miss Kent is the famous exponent of planes, solids, cylinders and equa- tions and we feel that she has cer- tainly been the prop of many of us in our dift'icult,ies with math. Nellie's kindly good-humor and her patience with her erring students has endeared hor to the members of 1926. Miss Kent, because of her great knowledge f,: of mathematics in all its branches, has made her classes very interesting and profitable. In leaving, we heartily thunk her for her assistance. .. fK,.f5wt:4.,'s.s1- MARY KERRIGAN Miss Kerrigan is one of our most. popular teachers in High School. She began teaching when we entered as Freshmen. Neither members of her classes nor study pupils have es- caped her subtlety. She takes great delight in making rules and regula- tions, and in giving memory passages to miscreants. Her ready wit some- times in English more often in French provokes many bursts of laughter. 13

MAY HARRITY Miss Harrity is a very petite pleasing teacher of Commercial sub- jects in our school, and we feel that she has certainly helped to advance the standards of our Business partment to a high degree, and we congratulate her upon her success and hope that it will continue. MARY T. GIBBONS Miss Gibbons, teacher of Physical Training, has proven a valuable asset, as our athletic ability will show. The girls took a great interest in the gym classes conducted by her. The girls' hiking clubs, the girls' basketball teams, the T-Dance and many other activities, in which we girls partici- pated, were all successful accom- plishments of Miss Gibbons. We all hope that she will long continue her gym classes in C. H. S. and De- ROLAND B. HOUSTON Not all of us have taken Mechanical Arts, but those who have not, will un- doubtedly find it interesting to view the work carried on under Mr. House ton's guidance. As a matter of fact. only a few of our boys are acquainted with Mr. Houston, but their reports certainly enable us to recognize in him a very capable and efficient in- structor. 12

ALICE B. MacNABB Although Miss MacNabb is not so very well known, the more fortunate of us realize that her smile is friendly. Miss MacNabb is one of the teachers who tried to turn our footsteps into the right path. Those who remain in C. H. S. must in time realize her worthiness just as we did. in JOSEPH F. McCAFFERY As a coach-as a teacher-one in- variably thinks of Joe i11 the first role. Under his supervision, there has been only praise for the various ath- letic teams which he has coached. To every boy he has been a friend and pal-one that will not be soon forgot- ten. All who have been in his classes have found them interesting and in- structive. If a difficult problem was to be solved, Joe was always will- ing to help. JOHN P. McGRAIL Mr. McGrail is one of the most universally liked members of the faculty. Although he coached Junior class teams which gave 1926 many anxious hours, and his U. S. History made our hearts flutter with fear, we all feel that we owe a great deal of what we are to the contact we had with Mr. McGrall, both in and out of the classroom. 14
