rg.,-fr ii? I Q- 'l'wvutv-livv f ,i.N. I MR. D. H. MURPHY is proving to be an ideal boss in managing the mechanism of Lafayette. Although he does not always have this genial grin, he is always chuckling in his heart at the tactics of some of the students. His watchful eye and paternal feeling keep every stu- dent under his alert observation. He feels that each one is his personal responsibility. There is quite a history attached to his record at Lafayette, for he ably served as coach and then vice-principal before he accepted the highest executive position of principal. 6lrb'Q.s-:wif 0 One of our shining examples of friendliness and generosity is our MR.. B. O. CORBIN, who has filled the position of vice-principal for two years. Besides serving as a good pal among the students, he is a very inspiring teacher of science and algebra. His treasured possession is that vest-pocket pet, his blue pencil, for he feels that the familiar BOC cannot mean the same in any other color. It is very seldom that his face is not lighted with a winning smile, but when it is not, the students can quickly sense that he is up to serious business. 0 MISS ANNA HAGUE is one of Lafayette's most valuable possessions. Her deep under- standing, untiring sympathy and helpful advice have contributed much to her ability in acting as adviser to girls. Her interests are versatile, for she is sponsor of senior high Girl Reserves, co- director of the junior high all-school play, and teacher of five classes a day. She, too, bears a pleasing smile for all, and her work in charity is renowned. . ,487 ,Qi-w-lrlJn-d v-J 9 'J I , , fl - 0 ' V L'-1, Arr'-f' ,451 is-41 -'VQ4 - .f ,. 3' ...t4,....1 1 ,-.J-L P'-if-7' s
