CHARLES EVERETT HARRIS Head of the Department of Physics—Earft High School Charles Everett Harris was horn in Webster, N. Y. in 1863. He attended Webster Academy and first taught in a district school. In 1887 he was graduated with honors from Cortland Normal school, Cortland, N. V., and for the next three years was principal of the Union school at Locke, N. Y. He then entered Syracuse University and completed two years of the course. His college work was continued at Cornell University, and at Tulane University, in New Orleans, La. In 1890 he was appointed instructor in Physics and Chemistry in the Boys’ High School of New Orleans. In 1899 he was appointed instructor in Physics in Rochester High school, and when the East High school was completed he was appointed to the position which he now holds. The Physics Department is one of the best in the school. Mr. Harris is in his work, heart and soul, and spares no pains to make the work there interesting and entertaining, and undoubtedly to this fact is due much of the success of this line of work. The relations between Mr. Harris and the students have always l een the most cordial possible and June, ’09 only hopes they will continue to be so.
