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.

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.

i MISS DeBAGGIS Latin and English Miss DeBaggis is our popular and efficient teacher of Latin. The subject is often looked upon as a dead or dull language, but under her inspiring hand it has become an interesting and popular subject. She is always ready and willing at any time to lend her valu¬ able assistance to any school work and this cooperative spirit has made her popular with all. MR. LAUNDRY Boys’ Physical Mr. Laundry, or Coach, as he is affectionately called by the boys who take physical, has always been willing to lend a helping hand. His renown as an athlete has spread far and wide in F. H. S. He excels in gymnastics and has put on a number of breath¬ taking physical exhibitions for the benefit of the townspeople. We hope Coach will have a long career at F. H. S. MRS. RILEY Supervisor of Music The Glee Club is the department of music that is in the com¬ petent hands of Mrs. Riley. Because of an unfortunate accident, she was absent for a while this year, but is now back again. We wish her luck on the road to full recovery. MISS ROSE Bookkeeping, Typing, Business Practice Miss Rose joined us in the middle of our Senior year. Re¬ gardless of the fact that she has been teaching at F. H. S. a short time, she has endeared herself to all her pupils by her charming personality. She has won the respect of both the faculty and the students. Miss Rose is taking Mrs. Powers ' place, teaching Book¬ keeping. Typing, and Business Practice. Page Fourteen Nineteen Hundred Forty-One
