MR. ALLAN VV. MANSFNELD Vice-Principal A We are exceedingly fortunate in having such a congenial and learned Vice Principal as Mr. A. VV. Mansfield. After Mr. Mansfield graduated from Bates College in 1915 xvith a B. A degree, he taught in various schools, throughout Maine and Connecticut Following this, he studied at Yale University and there obtained an M. A. degree. in l9Z5. From Yale University, Mr. Mansfield came to Meriden High School where he has been filling the office of Vice-Principal for the year l925-26. It is unfortunate that, as yet, not many pupils are acquainted with our ne Vice-Principal and consequently do not realize that he is the high desired com- bination of a teacher and a friend. XVe hope that he will sojourn in Meriden High School a long time and thus add his name to the already large list of instructors. 10 '

MISS ANNA T. DOYLE Dean of Girls 1 The recently created office of Dean of Girls in Meriden High School is held by Miss Anna T. Doyle, a very popular member of the faculty. Miss Doyle is a graduate of Smith College and took additional summer courses in that institution in 1925. She was also a Latin teacher in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, until 1918, when she became a Latin teacher here in Meriden High School. Miss Doyle continued in this position until 1922, when her efforts were rewarded by her promotion to head of the Latin department. She has successfully continued in this position until the present time and through her efforts, a Latin Club has been formed where varied programs-among them lectures, pictures, and plays-have been presented in a manner quite different from that of other clubs. 1vVhen the office of Dean of Girls was created, Miss Doyle was the teacher who was selected to fill this newly created position. She will undoubtedly be as successful in her new position as she has been in all her former ones, at least this is the wish of the Class of 1926. 1 1 A
