Someone who never said he didn’t have the time to answer our questions, a warm and sparkling personality which never lost its special glow. His attention, patience and guidance we will not soon forget. Upon reminiscing about our years at East Side, even many years from now, we will remember with sinccrest gratitude the dedication Mr. Leonard Chill displayed to us. Small in size, but big in heart, he will take a permanent page in all of our own little books of joyous high school memories—a page which could never be erased from our minds or from our hearts.
