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

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

HENRY J. McSHERRY Physics and Chemistry are Mr. Mc- Sherry's subjects, and although these subjects are known as difficult, Mr. McSherry certainly has done his best to make them interesting, and he has succeeded. We hope that he will con- tinue as a teacher in Clinton High School, so that future pupils of C. H. S. will have the advantage of study- ing the sciences under his benignant JOHN J. MITCHELL Jack became the teacher of Frnshnian Latin when we were Sopho- mores, so we did not have the advan tage of instruction in elementary Latin under his guidance. However, we know him to be a capable teacher and the friend of each and every one of his pupils. Best of luck-Mr. Mitchell-in your life work. supervision. ELIZABETH R. ROWAN Miss Rowan is a recent addition to our faculty, and we all haven't had th? pleasure of her classes, but those of us who have, realize that there are a few subjects which can be interesting. Here is one new teacher who soon taught us that she held the upper hand in discipline-oh, how near the Lecture Room is to the office! We are certain of her future success as a teacher from the excellent start she has made in her first year as a teacher. 15
