OUR SUPERINTENDENT Succeeding to the superintendency of Union 130 after a nineteen year record as principal of L.F.H.S., Stephen A. Griffin is continuing to administer school affairs with the tact and foresight that formerly gained him an outstanding reputation for the high school in a variety of fields. Courteous, helpful, and genuinely interested in youth, Mr. Griflin has given most generously of his time and energy to further not only the scholastic ambitions of hundreds of L.F. boys and girls, but also to direct and guide such constructive and satisfying interests as photography, radio, and Scout work. His leadership has manifested itself, too, in the loyal support he has won from teachers, townspeople, and students past and present, who regard him as a good counsellor and SUPERINTENDENT S. A. GRIFFIN staunch friend. Mr. Griffin A.B. and M.A. KU. of MJ was two years 11938-19405 president of the Androscoggin County Teachers' Association. In 1939 he was a delegate to the N. E. A. Convention in San Francisco, and a member of the Executive Committee of the Maine Teachers' Associationg from 1940-1943 a member of the Basketball Tour- nament Committee of the M.T.A. Mr. Griffin has been a contributor to such magazines as the Journal of Education and Student Life. THE SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE In considering the schools of a community it is easy to overlook one factor that, more often than not, is a de- termining force in the success or failu1'e of local education. That factor is the school board. Fortunately Liver- more Falls has been noted for the high caliber of its school committees over the years. As our community, un- like many others, has never considered the school committee a training ground for politicians but rather an op- portunity for genuine service to citizens and future citizens, it has been able to get and hold professional or busi- ness men of ability, integrity, civic consciousness, and unsellish interest in the cause of education. All members of the present board are professionally trained. As parents they have had a day-by-day contact with the schools they supervise. Serving for the past year as chairman of the board of which he has been a member four years is Henry E. Fournier. Mr. Fournier attended Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's Colleges in Quebec and St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore. His student-army training in 1918 was at Holy Cross. For five years Mr. Fournier was employed by a gold-mining company in Alaska, as underground surveyor and electrical worker. From 1923-1930 he was in Chile, employed by a copper company as electrical ofiice and field engineer. Next he was in Mexico for nine years as assistant division engineer for a large international power company. In' 1939 Mr. Fournier moved to Liver- more Falls, where he purchased a business. He has been active in community alfairs: chairman of the OPA rationing board for two yearsg member of the Maine Association of Master Plumbersg a director of the New Eng- land Hardware Dealers' Association, and president of the local Lions Club. Dr. Eastman received his B.S. degree from Antioch College, and his M.D. and C.M. from McGill University Medical School, Montreal. His interneship was at Central Maine General Hospital. In 1939 he moved here. In 1942 he entered the service with the 67th General Hospital Staff. He was Chief of Psychiatric Service for three years in England with the rank of Major in the Medical Corps. A member of the Maine Medical Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Eastman is on the staffs of both the Central Maine General and the Franklin County Memorial Hospitals. Mr. Stevens graduated from Kents Hill School in 1928. He then attended Norwich University, graduating in 1932 with a B.S. degree in chemical engineering. He is employed by the International Paper Company as super- intendent of the Otis Groundwood Mill. Mr. Stevens has recently been elected chairman of the superintending school committee for this year, Left to right: Mr. Wesley Stevens, Mr. Henry Fournier, Dr. Charles Eastman
