vqvgmjgl- i V -- , 61-116 Qommo ore A Tribute N june of 1916, when Death deprived us of our beloved prin- ' ' Wi cipal. Professor George Mcliendree Bain, the entire city felt Q that his death was a great calamity to the Norfolk High School. The citizens of our city, and especially the graduates QJ A un of the school? felt the loss very keenly. foruthey knew that J Professor Bam was a man of sterling qualities and a friend to every one. The Class of 1918 was fortunate in having him as their prin- cipal for nearly two years, and we had all learned to love and admire him as a man and as a friend. VVe all knew Professor Cannon as one of the most competent instructors in all branches of mathematics in school, and had watched him closely as assistant principal. It was therefore quite a delight to all of us when the School Iloard announced that they had elected Professor Mallory King Cannon to till the vacancy caused by Professor l3ain's death. Immediately upon taking this important trust he grasped the problems that confronted the school and set about to solve them, and the work which he has accomplished has been observed by all of us with admiration. Professor Cannon is a man of unusual education and great ability, and one well fitted to direct the affairs of a great school. He is a man of sincere character, a warm heart, and a cordial manner. and he has well earned the respect which the entire student body unanimously accords him. ll es
