MR. BENJAMIN THORP :Af.7,C0.7C Retirements MR. BENJAMIN THORP came to Jamaica High School in the Fall of 1901 when jamaica High was situated on Hillside Avenue where the Vocational school is now. A resident of Flushing, Mr. Thorp came to Jamaica after graduating from Hamilton College. Mr. Thorp has been an English teacher for his entire career of forty years at Jamaica. He is active in extrafcurricular activities, for he has been a Senate member of Arista and has been a Grade Adviser. One of his most important positions has been that of Treasurer for the General Organization, After these many years of distinguished service to Jamaica, Mr. Thorp has decided to retire from active teaching. But we will carry away a pleasant memory of him for his genial philosophy and his worth to jamaica. Therefore, the Senior Class in passing, salutes Mr. Benjamin Thorp. K. Quia AFTER HAVING SEEN as many students pass through his classes as populate jamaica's main buildingfat one time, Mr. Henry I. Foley is ready to retire. Mr. Foley is a graduate of St. Frances College and taught at De La Salle Institute, New York, before coming to Jamaica in 1922. The tall, thin, distinguished looking Mr. Foley is a familiar figure around the halls of our building. He teaches typing and calculates that over 5,000 students have been converted by him from the Hunt and Peck system to something more substantial and useful. Mr. Foley was born in New Jersey and lives in jamaica. He has sent four sons and one daughter through jamaica High School, all of whom have distinguished themselves in this school. Mr. Foley is, by profession, a typing teacher, but his hobby is the study of economics, which he pursues with great diligence, He prefers to be called a 'igood sport and one of the boys . And so the Senior Class wishes luck and happiness to one of the boys as he begins his vacation. iwrlx' U MR. HENRY I. FOLEY
