..',-- it flln ,i emuriam P14 ALFRED M. HITCHCOCK May 7, 1368-April 14, 194.1 Alfred M. Hitchcock spent a full and interesting life as a distinguished teacher, writer, and scholar. The profession of teaching had been followed by both his father and his mother, and also by a brother. Two of his four children are now teachers. In 1890 he was graduated from Williams College, after having made a fine record there. He obtained a masteris degree at Dartmouth in 1896, and in 1921 he received an honorary degree from Williams for his distinguished service to education and for eminence as an authorf' ln the spring 1897 he came to teach at HPHS from the Central High School in Cleveland, Ohio. During his thirty years of teaching at HPHS, Mr. Hitchcock was well known, respected, and admired by young and old. He taught English composition and classic literature. He believed that hard work and repeated drill were necessary to master a subject. He believed that discipline, especially self-discipline, is needed today. He stressed the importance of learning the fundamentals or basic ideas of a subject. Otherwise, he thought, one would encounter certain difficulties when face to face with greater demands upon one's mental faculties. He felt that literature should be taught as an art if full enjoyment were to he had from it. Since his retirement from active teaching in 1927, he has written short stories and essays, chiefly for his own pleasure. His grammar and literature textbooks have been widely used in schools throughout the country. At this time we join those numerous people who were instructed and inspired by him in praising this man for the richness of life which he has taught many to know. P14 MARY L. HASTINGS We honor the memory of Mary L. Hastings, who devoted the years 1891-1928 to the teaching of English in this school. Miss Hastings also devoted time and effort to charitable causes in this city. 11
