Mr Dillon tinds time from his busy day to discuss plans for Janus As seniors of l959 we have seen graduating classes grow from 200 to 400. We have seen our principal handle this growth each year with the same competence and leadership. Despite the size of our school, Mr. Dillon has found time to maintain the same personal relationship with the students. Each day we see Mr. Dillon in the halls. He finds time to have individual conferences with us con- cerning school matters. Under Mr. Dillon's leadership, we have benefited from changes and improvements that have kept us abreast of the increasing demands of the colleges and occupational world.

Working with the Board of Education, Mr. Pa- quette, principals and supervisors of the many schools of East Hartford, our Superintendent, Dr. Langford, has striven to make our school facilities and curric- ulum second to none in the state. We, with a realization of the magnitude of the duties imposed upon our superintendent with the growth of East Hartford's schools, are ever grateful for his time, energy, and enthusiasm for East Hart- ford's educational advancement. Nearest and dearest to our memories of Dr. Lang- ford are his visits to our high school. As seniors of '59 we were especially moved by his message to us at our Honor Society Induction. East Hartford's schools with their ample and quali- fied personnel are a tribute to the untiring efforts of Dr. Langford. Mr. Francis Paquette, our assistant to Dr. Langford is respon- sible for the efficient operation of the business, custodial, and secre- tarial departments of the schools of East Hartford. So well kept has been our present building under the supervision of Mr. Paquette, that the new wing does not look like a later addi- tion, but a part of the original building. We thank you Mr. Paquette for your part in the fine condition of our well-equipped and comfortable building. 7 Dr. Langford at the High School to discuss plans for members of the Future Teachers of America to practice teaching in local grammar schools.
