I have always felt that the military instruction I received while at the English High School pointed me towards my military career. The excel- lent academic instruction and the sympathetic and wise council of the teachers were of the untmost value to me during the forty years that ha je elapsed since I graduated. The other, who has remained closely associated with the school as instruc- tor of military drill for the past thirty years, is Col. Joseph McKenzie Driscoll. Col. Driscoll returned to English High School in 1923 as a lieutenant and veteran of the first World War. He has remained on the faculty ever since except for a leave of absence granted him during Word War II. Upon his retirement this year, a scroll bearing the following inscription was presented to him by the Head Master . Colonel Joseph McKenzie Driscoll, a graduate of the class of 1913, a soldier who fought in defense of freedom in two world wars, a military leader, who for thirty years has been an inspiration to thousands of stu- dents of the English High School, Boston. Walter F. Downey, Head Master The Lieut. (J. G.) Paul Halloran Memorial Award was established this year by Lee Wintergrad, a graduate of this school, in honor of his classmate. Both Halloran and Wintergrad were pilots in the United States Naval Reserve. While on a bombing mission they attacked an enemy ship. Diving downward, they unloaded their ammunition and left the target in opposite directions. Win- tergrad returned to his base safely, but Paul Halloran was never seen again. The 1953 trophy was awarded to Francis Theodore Spriggs. Again, Gen. Matthew B. Ridgwoy deserves recognition here upon being appointed Chief of Staff of the United States Army. This is the highest military office other than that of Commander in Chief. Robert C. Roberts, ' 53 ( 9 )
