l Our Principal BURTON P. FOWLER One ol' the most prized privileges of a principal is his close association with the senior class. During their Hnal year seniors are more occupied with whole- school issues and post-graduation plans than at any previous time. The principal, therefore, ought to be helpful then if he ever is. My relation to each of you, however, has meant much more to me than this cold professional basis. I have a kind of warm proprietary interest in each of you. ln fact, I helped raise you! Whenever you have done something unsually line, it has been my success, and when you have occasionally slipped, it was my failure. Of course, I should say our, since everybody on the whole staff feels as I do and has shared in your progress. But you are not through with us, nor we with you. After graduation, in col- lege, in your occupations, in your homes, you will still belong to us, even as far into the future as when your children and grandchildren return to G.F.S. to perpetuate the succession of fathers and sons and mothers and daughters that have made our school a living force for over a hundred years. May you be worthy representatives ol' great traditions. Burton P. Fowler 4
