Groveton bids good-bye to Mr. Chesley and others. Mr. Chesley, Groveton ' s first principal, opened the door and welcomed students to the new school which held its first classes in Sep¬ tember, 1956. For three and a half years, Mr. Chesley saw many of his former dreams and hopes become realities. Even before Groveton was officially open, Mr. Chesley was busy pre¬ paring schedules, hiring teachers, and making trips to Mt. Vernon High to introduce himself to the students who would transfer to Groveton the following September. As a result of his resignation in November, 1959, four staff positions had to be filled. Be¬ cause Mr. Gibbs was appointed principal, Mr. Davis, Junior Guidance Counselor, took Mr. Gibbs ' previous position as Assistant Principal. Mr. Taylor then became Counselor, which left one vacant place—that of a Social Studies teacher. This was taken by a newcomer, Miss Wellington, from New York. The old Maxim, Man is adverse to change was certainly dis¬ proved by the efficient way in which these four people assumed their new positions in Grove- ton ' s administration. THESE ALSO SERVED. MRS.
