Ro RAD awe NOD. GRAY BO OK Jn HMemoriam N the death of Mr. Carter our School suffered a very great loss. Mr. Carter was always cheerful and ready to help with every activity. Every boy in the School thought a lot of him. Everything that he started he saw through to the finish, and he could do very many things well. In the shop he was always willing to give help and attention to the one who was in need of it. Almost every boy in Hawken School has made something of use or of beauty under Mr. Carter’s direction. These articles, whether a pewter dish, a block print, or a model, serve now to remind us of a teacher who was a friend and a helper to all of us. Mr. Carter did some very beautiful work himself during the time that he has been at the School. One of his favorite activities was wood- carving. In the hall as you enter the school building there is a large hand-carved chest that he made. He also carved a beautiful chest of drawers, which stands in the office. He was kind enough to lend to the School all his plate-molds, so that the boys might make pewter plates. The morning after vacation, when Mr. Steph- ens announced at Chapel the death of Mr. Carter, we were all impressed by the complete silence. | am sure that every boy feels a great loss. —Hubbard Little.

ol Pg Bete In are) wad Ne LD Gi RA Ys Weiler Ce R. JOHN J. CARNEY, our Headmaster, has been absent from the School this year on sabbatical leave. He left for Europe during the latter part of August, 1929. After spending a short time in France he went to Munich, where he studied at the University during the fall months. His Christmas holidays were spent in Switzerland. From there he went to southern France and followed this with a Mediterranean trip, visiting Greece, Asyria and Palestine. Returning from a seven-day trip up the Nile, he stopped at Sicily, and later visited Rome, Florence, Genoa, Venice and Milan, spending a month in the first two of these cities. After visiting the Austrian Tyrol he returned to Munich for a series of lectures; thence to Paris and vicinity for a few weeks, and to England in June. Mr. Carney expects to arrive home about the middle of July. This is Mr. Carney’s first extended absence from the School since he came to us in 1917. We have all missed him during the year just passed, and shall be glad to welcome him back again. During Mr. Carney’s absence his work as headmaster of the Upper School has been taken over and admirably carried forward by Mr. Stephens. [ seven
