V, - WSI Henry Whittemore Memorial HE Henry Whittemore Memorial was erected by the classes of 1917, 1918, 1919 of the Framingham Normal School in loving appreciation of Mr. Whitte- n'1ore's interest in them. Mr. Henry Whittemore of Waltham was the principal of the school for nineteen years, from 1898 to 1917. The girls of 1917, 1918, 1919 made up the student body during Mr. VVhitte- more's last year. Their tribute to his many years of service for the welfare and growth of the school and to his constant example of Living to the Truth was given in the form of the brick and limestone entrance, which stands at the north end of the campus. They chose this as the expression of their appreciation because it had been a part of Mr. Whittemore's plans for the beautifying of the grounds to build an entrance at this place. They selected Mr. Frank Kendall, a Framingham architect, to prepare the plans and supervise the construction of the memorial. His interest and effort have created a simple, dignified structure. At the commencement in june 1917, the last in which Mr. VVhittemore served as principal of the school, the student body through their chosen representative, Miss Louise Kingman, made the announcement of their intention to build the memorial. The heavy financial strain of the war delayed the accomplishment of their plan until the spring of 1921. The Vllhittemore Memorial was dedicated on Baccalaureate Sunday, june 12, 1921. The class of 1921 assisted the alumna? in the service of dedication. Miss Grace Carden, president of the class of 1918, presented the gift to Mr. XYhittemore and to the school. Mr. XYhittemore spoke to the group of students, alumnze, and the fathers and mothers and friends gathered on the hillside, expressing his appreciation of the memorial, of his sincere interest in the school, and of his wishes for its growth in preparing women of high character and high ideals for the service of the state.
