FLOORMASTERS Mr. Vernon C. Hooper As freshmen we all met Mr. Vernon C. Hooper in his position as third floor supervisor. Mr. Hooper runs the third floor with the discipline and effi- ciency also found in his mechanical drawing classes. Mr. Hooper has a great interest in education, and because of this he has served on the Essex School Committee. Mr. Richard C. Bergeron As first floor supervisor Mr. Richard C. Berg- eron’s duty is to maintain order on the first floor. Mr. Bergeron is to be congratulated this year be- cause aside from his responsibilities in recording attendance and tardiness, he has seen to it that all first floor lockers are locked. Mr. Bergeron is a busy man, yet has time to take our interests seriously. Mr. Bergeron is also a teacher of English. Mr. J. Vincent Elmer Mr. J. Vincent Elmer is in charge of attendance, tardiness, and discipline on the second floor. Mr. Elmer is a well-known figure on the second floor, whether he is in the office or instructing students in Latin. Mr. Elmer’s character and concern for his students have won their confidence and friendship.

MILITARY DEPARTMENT Since his arrival in September of 1965, Major Frank T. Chance has done much to spark the morale of R.O.T.C. participators. Addition of new uniforms, competition with other schools, and thorough dis- cussion of current problems in Military Science classes have given the boys many reasons for an avid interest in the military. Under the Major’s direction are the Grenadiers, the Girls’ Drill Team, and the Boys’ and Girls’ Rifle Teams. Many boys choose to enter the military after graduation, and the skills taught by Major Chance and his fine staff are very helpful to them. S SGT.
