MR, HARRY E, JQNES MR. JOHN HUBERT BROOKS, JR. BUSINESS BOARD Perhaps the most indispensable but thankless position of anyone at Hotchkiss is that held by the business manager. His vacations and 'toil-days are few, but his responsi- bilities to the welfare of the school are innumerable. Mr. Harry E. Jones joined the school in September, 1918 and has served in the capacity of business manager since that time. Previous to his coming to Hotchkiss, he acted as assistant director of the Yale University Dining Hall in New Haven, his home town. When Mr. Jones succeeded Mr. Harold Woodcock as business manager in 1918, the school consisted of only the Main group of buildings, and since that time Mr. Jones has played an important role in the expansion of the school. His career at Hotchkiss has been one of sincere effort and hard Work, for which it would be impossible to express adequately the genuine gratitude of the school. While bidding a sad farewell to a man who has been a faithful servant to the Hotchkiss School for twenty-nine years, we must not forget a word of welcome for our new business manager, Mr. John Hubert Brooks, Jr., H '26.
