THE FACULTY On the following few pages, you will see pictures, both formal and in- formal, of the Landon faculty. Al- though We have not space enough to mention all its members, we feel that We must devote some time to the heads of the various schools and de- partments. The Headmaster of the Upper School, Mr. Harrison Prindle, has handled the remarkably complex job of administrating the Upper School. teaching all its history classes, and coaching Varsity Soccer and Base- ball. Mr. Dwight M. Collins, Head- master of the Middle School has demonstrated a similar versatility by, in addition to his administrative duties, teaching seventh- and eighth- grade English and coaching Middle School basketball and Varsity Tennis. Although the Headmaster of the Lower School, Mr. Clyde Wilson was ill for a large part of the past year, during which interval he was ably substituted for by Mr. William Trip- lett, he ably reassumed the responsi- bilities of his position upon his re- cuperation. Mr. Triplett, in his capac- ity as Assistant Headmaster of the entire school, has also accomplished the feat of getting this year's seniors past the College Boards and into col- lege. And, of course, there is the man who has had the difficult task of co- ordinating the various parts of the school into one smoothly functioning organization, our Headmaster, Mr. Paul Banfield. ln the field of sports, Mr. lames Curran, who also coached Varsity Football, has served as our Athletic Director. He has been ably assisted by Mr. William Fowler. The mem- bers of the office staff, the nurse, the dietitian, and the librarian, all of whom have much to do with the effi- ciency with which the school is run, also deserve mention. In the office, Mrs. Cady, Miss Havener, and Mrs. Rietzke have all done excellent jobs. Mrs. Bain has served faithfully in her thankless position as chief mender of all ills, and, our own petty com- plaints notwithstanding, we are sin- cerely indebted to Miss Prosser for the fine job she has done as dietitian. Finally, we owe a vote of thanks to Mrs. Bates, our librarian of long standing, and to Mrs. Ahlberg, who filled in while Mrs. Bates was pre- senting our bespectacled Fifth-Grade teacher with a baby daughter.
