IDI'iI'lCiD8l IDYOIIIQ WILLIS JAMES PROUTY, A. M., Principal of the Meriden High School was born in Spencer, Massachusetts. Here he was reared and received an excellent schooling, graduating from the Spencer High School with the class of 1883. In the follow- ing fall he entered the freshman class of Tufts College at Medford, Massachusetts. At his college he pursued a regular academic course and in 1887 graduated with exceptional honors, having majored in Latin. During the same year he came to Meriden and accepted a position in the High School as teacher of mathe- matics and bookkeeping, and in 1887-8 he had charge of the evening school. Mr. Prouty's personal infiuence as a teacher and ability as an educator soon secured him Well- merited recognition, and 1889 found him assistant principal of our school. Six years later Tufts College conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts and upon the resignation of Mr. Simeon T. Frost in l900 a still further proof of the confidence of Meriden's school authorities in Mr. Prouty was given by his appointment as principal. Besides the executive ability which Mr. Prouty has displayed in the management of the school, his qualifications in Latin and mathematics have rendered his instruction in these branches most desirable. Fraternally he is connected With the Tufts chapter of Z. W. His genial personality and Willingness to help as teacher or friend have brought Mr. Prouty in close touch with both the faculty and students of whose loyalty and support he may rest assured.
