i r. Hu mint The advent of the Class of ’24 into High School was simultaneous with that of Principal M. L. Brown. We will never forget that day, especially when Mr. Brown’s address was interrupted by one of our more misinformed classmates knocking for admittance on the fire escape window, and how Mr. Brown quietly suggested that he be asked to go around to the door. ITiis done, he continued with his speech. That’s the way its been through the whole four years that we have watched him work and plan; he has met interruptions calmly and then turned back to his work. On that first day Mr. Brown asked our cooperation in working out an aim. namely, to make Corry High School one of the best in the section. After that he worked consistently to establish a library, to introduce the V ocational courses, to enlarge the scope of the Music department, and this year, to introduce the Student Activities program. Besides these noticeable steps toward accomplishing our aim. the standards and scholarship of the whole school have been raised under Mr. Brown s direction. We have all respect for Mr. Brown for, though his discipline is strict, it is just and reasonable. We admire him for the way he meets obstacles. We like him for his kind thoughtfulness, for the little things he does that make school life more pleasant—little things—like ringing the bells early because of an approaching storm, for instance. When we compare our school with what it was when Mr. Brown came and what it is now, we begin to realize how much he has done. Then when we think of the fun we’ve had, we appreciate more than before what Mr. Brown has done for the old High. We, who have been here four years, under Mr. Brown’s direction, cannot imagine what it would have been without him. 1 irc 6
