Before the Centenary Year was over, Mr. Snow was elected assistant Superintendent of Schools. He was succeeded by Mr. Walter F. Downey. Mr. Downey, whose term as head¬ master ended only two years ago, brought many honors to the school. In 1922 Gov. Sal- tonstall appointed Mr. Downey Commissioner of Education. In 1938, during Mr. Downey ' s absence, Al¬ bert F. Reed, a former head of our Latin and German departments, assumed the responsi¬ bility of the leadership and guidance of our school. After Mr. Downey ' s return from his leave of absence, in 1938, he remained head¬ master until 1953, when he retired after his long eventful career in the Boston Public School System. In the summer of 1953, the Boston School Committee appointed Mr. M. Henry Mclnerny as Head-master of English High, which had just moved from the old building on Montgom¬ ery St. to its new location on Louis Pasteur Avenue, directly across the street from its ancient rival Boston Latin School. Mr. Mclnerney, a former Head-master of Girl ' s High and a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy, prepared himself well for his duties as Head-master, by securing such degrees as A.B., A.M., ED. M. Mr. Mclnerney adso enjoys the distinction of being a member of a Board of Councilors, which govern all athletic activities in the Com¬ monwealth of Massachusetts. English High has had a long and meritorious history. Members of its faculty have served as leaders in the administration of the school sys¬ tem. Its graduates, many and widespread, have brought distinction to the old school which now looks to the future confidently under the able guidance of the present faculty and the new Head-master Mr. M. Henry Mclnerney to whom we leave the future history of the Eng¬ lish High School. PRESENT SCHOOL-HOUSE 1954
