Principal Prouty lYillis 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 l883. ln the following fall he entered the Freshman class of Tufts College. at Medford, Mas- sachusetts. At this college he pursued a regular academic course, and in 1887, graduated. 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 even- ing school. Mr. Prouty's personal infiuence and ability as an educator soon secured him well-merited recognition, and in 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 Prof. Simeon T. Frost, in 1900, Mr. Prouty was given his appointment as principal. Besides the executive ability which Mr. Prouty has displayed in the management of the school, his qualincations in Latin and Mathe- matics have rendered his instruction in these branches most de- sirable. Fraternally he is connected with the Tufts chapter of Z. EV.
