Bacon the 'Klucky fellown. On a Tuesday morning about 9:00, I entered through a door, shingled Mr, Bacon , at the far end of the first floor corridor.

I explained that because of what he had done in building up the Industrial Department into the best in the city, he was therefore chosen as the teacher of 1948 --49. After this preli- minary struggle, I obtained the following information: Mr. Bacon was born, March 21, 1891 in the sourest town in the universe Leominster, which is situated outside Worcester. At the usual unfortunate age he commenced his school career never realizing that 53 years later he would still be going. From grammar school he went to Leominster High and then to State Teachers College, known at that time as Fitchburg Normal School where he struggled through a Practical Arts course. After graduating cum laudev QHalj he began his teachings in Everett, and from there went to Newton and then to Providence, R. I. On April Fools Dayv, 1918 his lucky', day came. He was assigned to Dorchester High. Mr. Bacon became head of the fwood bu ...... D Industrial Department in 1925 when the boys of Dorchester were moved to the residential section of the community, Dunbar Avenuev. Mr. Bacon is married, has no children, and lives in Milton. just then the telephone rang, so I, who never cut a period in my whole life, well just a few, thought it best to leave before being asked. I left.
