Freeman, and Richard Freeman iereive a Kenifoiial phrimqiaphei inTri 'heir home. WENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Mr. Roy G. Freeman came To The Kenmore school sysTem as a regular Teacher. Our principal Then consTiTued The maTh and science deparTmenTs in The WashingTon school. ThaT was in I9I8 and Then There were approximaTely only sixTy sTudenTs regisTered in The Tour-year high school. Compare This wiTh our presenT I25O regisTraTion on a Three-year basis. Among oTherS. he TaughT Mr. George Dobson and Major VicTor Owen, presenT members oT The Kenmore High School TaculTy, The lasT of whom is now in The armed Torces. He remembers also many oThers TaculTy members who wenT Through The Kenmore sysTem, buT whom he didnlT acTually Teach. IT was in The presenT iunior high school building in i924 ThaT Mr. Freeman became The principal oT The high school. Over The years he has seen many changes. These changes he noTices parTicularly among The sTudenTs. According To Mr. Freeman, The sTudenTs Today have much more poise, self-assurance, and conTidence Than sTudenTs used To have. The only preTerence he has Tor The old days is The smaller school. ln a group as large as ours has grown To be, Mr. Freeman said, 'la principal only comes in conTacT wiTh a very small parT oT The enTire group. ln a smaller school a principal knows almosT every sTudenT. The KeniTorial, on behalT oT The sTudenT body and The TaculTy, wishes To exTend To Mr. Freeman iTs congraTulaTions on This, his TwenTy-TiTTh anniversary oT being wiTh The Kenmore schools, and iTs sinceresT hope ThaT This is merely The TirsT oT many anniversaries.
