a C MR. HANCOCK Civics, Mathematics, History Many of the students who have had Mr. Hancock as their subject teacher will attest to the fact that his classes are enjoyable as well as educational — due to his sense of humor and ability to teach. His understanding nature and willingness to help have made him one of the more popular teachers of F. H. S. We hear that Mr. Hancock is a rabid “Red Sox” fan, even though they aren’t in the lead! MISS KEEFE Mrs. Edward Powers Business Practice, Bookkeeping, Typing Much to our sorrow, Miss Keefe left us in the middle of the year to become Mrs. Powers. To her we wish all the luck in the world. Mrs. Powers has always been one of our most helpful and cheerful teachers. The future pupils of F. H. S. will certainly miss something by not having her for a teacher. MR. BEANE English, Economics, Problems of Democracy Mr. Beane, our class advisor, has labored with us for three years in making the sociaKevents and activities of our class suc¬ cessful ones. His English classes are never dull, but they say his economics classes are no cinch. His basketball teams for the last few years have not been as fortunate as they might have been, but we leave him, hoping that in the future years he will have patience enough to continue with them. MR. FITZPATRICK Algebra I, II, Geometry Through all his years of teaching, Mr. Fitzpatrick has always lent a helping hand to whoever finds himself in need of one. His quiet manner has made all students who have had him, like and respect him. If you are ever in school between the hours of four and five, you will probably find Mr. Fitzpatrick ' s room filled with pupils whom he is trying to help along.

MR. RODGERS Manual Training, Mechanical Drawing Although Mr. Rodgers’ classes are limited to boys, he has proved unusually popular with all students. In his quiet, unassuming manner he has won the respect and admiration of all. Whenever there is any work to be done, he is always ready to lend a helping hand and anything which he does is always done well. MR. COLBERT History, Civics, Athletics Where ' s Mr. Colbert?” “Have you seen ' Coach ' ?” At one time or another each one of us has asked one of those questions. Mr. Colbert is one of the most popular members of the faculty, especially among the Seniors who take U. S. History. His popu¬ larity can be attributed to his wonderful personality, his methods of teaching, and his keen sense of humor. Under Mr. Colbert’s able coaching, the athletic teams have fought on to many victories. As a result, athletics have been popular among the students. MR. DePASQUA Italian, English, Law Mr. DePasqua is a great favorite with all high school boys and girls, both for his ability and cooperative spirit. We can all say without exaggeration that the more classes we had with Mr. DePasqua, the more we wanted. May he always keep his wonderful humor. MISS HOLMES English Red-headed people are said to be u nusually quick-tempered, but there is an exception in this case. Because of Miss Holmes’ calmness and good nature, she was the best-liked teacher of us all. May you always keep your sweet disposition. Nineteen Hundred Forty-One Page Eleven

MR. STEVENS Biology, Science, and Economics Mr. Stevens’ wide knowledge of science, biology, and eco¬ nomics made him an indispensable teacher. The fact that he was one of the best-liked members of the faculty can be attested to by the many students who were seen up in his home room after school. Fortunately, many assemblies have been made enjoyable, both by the F. H. S. Orchestra and Band. Undoubtedly Mr. Stevens’ untiring efforts in his splendid conditioning of the Orchestra and Band will always linger in our memories. MISS LINDBLAD Home Economics Miss Lindblad ' s new ideas and her pleasant manner of pre¬ senting them have been a joy to all her students. It was with pleasure that we greeted her arrival here in our Sophomore year. Her pleasant manner and smile have won many a student over to her point of view in the making of a dress. MR. ABBOTT French, Latin One of the finest and most popular friends we have among the members of the faculty is Mr. Abbott, who joined us in our Sophomore year. We were indeed fortunate at this turn of events, for he proved to be a F. H. S. “rooter” — being present at many social and athletic activities. Besides being present at games, he coached the second team in basketball on to victories against fast company. The mysteries of Latin no longer are so. “Why?” Because Mr. Abbott teaches it in an interesting and understanding way. As for French, ask any member of his 1941 French III class!! MISS BEANE Business Arithmetic, Ancient History, Girls’ Physical Director “Beanie,” our teacher and pal, is always welcomed everywhere with enthusiasm. Her presence adds fun and interest to any gathering. She is well-liked and respected by all her classes. When called upon to do something, she is always ready with a helping hand and smile.
