Arlie W. Latham studied trumpet with Walter M. Smith and Albert Fisher, both world famous trumpeters, and with Louis Kloepful, first trumpeter with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and teacher at the New England Conservatory of Music. He studied harmony, counterpoint, and music theory with Carl Gardner of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Latham played in the leading Boston theatre orchestras when each large theatre had its own orchestra. Some of the theatres in which he played were the old St. James, the famous B. F. Keith, the Shubert, and Loew ' s State. He was solo trumpeter with the celebrated Salem Cadet Band and Boston ' s own First Corps Cadet Band. In 1928 he entered the Boston public school service as an Instrumental Instructor. In 1949 he was appointed a supervisor in the Music Department. He was a member of the English High School instrumental music staff for many years, and for the past several years prior to his retirement in 1959 he directed all instrumental music in English High School and developed many prize winning bands and bugle corps. ITn flfcemortam JOHN WILLIAM KELLEY The English High School was saddened by the passing of John W. Kelley, on this past Christmas Day. Mr. Kelley was an outstanding member of the School ' s History Department, and contributed significantly to the teacher-training program. He was an avid golf fan, and followed closely interscholastic sports. Upon his completion of his A.B. and A.M., both of which he received at Boston College, he taught at Oratory Preparatory School in Summit, New Jersey, until 1938. From then until his transfer to English High in 1955, he taught at the J. P. Timulty Junior High School. Both the faculty and the students wish to express their deepest sorrow at the passing of this admirable man.

tMaster Smeritus MIAH J. FALVEY This spring Miah J. Falvey retired. The faculty and the school will never be the same. His calm, judicial and dispassionate bearing was consistent with his attitude towards all matters that came to his attention. He secured his A.B. from Boston College in 1911. After an involvement with the U.S. Navy during World War I, he joined in 1919 the faculty of English High School as a teacher of commercial subjects. He served as a vital member of that department until his appointment as Guidance Counselor in 1939, and became the kind preceptor, whose benevolent management of the problems of his charges distinguished his career. Mr. Falvey ' s contributions have been unique. He will be sorely missed by both the faculty and the students.
