Mr. Tarbell has been an interested and efficient principal and has effectively handled stu- dent affairs at Mepham. Mr. Tarbell has been in Mepham for seven years. During this period he has advanced quickly, teaching physics for four years, serving as assistant principal for Jerusalem Avenue Junior High School, and starting as our assistant principal in September, 1958. He has definitely stood out in this position during the past two years. Mr. Tarbell is known in Mepham for his effi- cient and masterful manner of handling any situa- tion that might come up. He can usually be found at sports events and is greatly interested in extra- curricular as well as scholastic activities. Mr. Tarbell is a great asset to Mepham, and will be increasingly valuable and indispensable in the years to come. Mr. Herman Tennant - Principal There are several factors that make a good school stand above other schools. The teachers, the students, and most of all the principal are responsible for the schoolis reputation. Behind every successful group and organization there is a leader. As everyone at Mepham will vouch, Mr, Tennant is an excellent leader. Before one can become a leader of a band, he must First acquaint himself with the different instruments in the band. A principal in a school must Hrst be acquainted with the sub- jects that the school offers and the extra- curricular activities. Mr. Tennant fills the bill. Mr. Tennant was graduated from Hobart College located in Geneva, New York. He taught at Newton Falls, New York. Our prin- cipal displayed his athletic skill as he held the position of coach. He was also assistant prin- cipal at this school. In 1935 he came to District Number 3, and was one of the original staff. He rose to the head of the Mathematics De- partment and during the YVar was assistant principal for 2M years. Mr. Tennant is ae- quainted with all facets of teaching and learn- ing. The loudest voice in the football field most likely will be Mr. Tennant's. He encourages stu- dents to develop their talents to the best of their ability. We at Mepham High School are proud to say that Mr. Tennant belongs to Bfepham. X
