ThaT was in The year I94I. Today, Twelve years laTer, Dr. Ross is reTiring, .N-l wwll vvl. way lie- In-TT wilh iii-lv nf,-in ilu, MMT. lie leaves behind l'1irT1. BeTween ThaT beginning and The presenT, Midwood has changed Trom a new, young school To an old respecTed one. FirsT evenTs have become esTablished Mid- wood TradiTions. One OT The imporTanT TirsT evenTs was The esTablishmenT oT The Midwood STudenT GovernmenT modelled aTTer The municipal seTfup. ElecTions were held Tor The Top oTTicers, Mayor, ChieT JusTice oT The STudenT CourT, and CompTroller, and a consTi- +uTion was voTed upon. The diTTerenT candidaTes were represenTaTives oT The Blue. WhiTe, Liberal and New Deal parTies as well as independenTs, This sTudenT governmenT has since gradually evolved. The courT has disappeared as has The parTy sysTem, The laTTer aTTer much conTroversy. We musT have sTudenT parTicipaTionl cried some. l-low concerned everyone was during The TirsT parTy-less primary when sTudenT inTeresT was so low! l-low Those worried oTTicers would be amazed aT The presenT crowded primaries, where Twelve hopeTuls vie Tor The privilege oT running Tor oTTicel Argus, Too, has changed Trom The TirsT one Tull page issue pioneered by a small sTaTT. From ThaT beginning iT has changed To a Tabloid Torm and from a single page To an occasional Ten. A TalTering pioneer has become a venerable auThoriTy in scholasTic press compeTiTions. However, aT ThaT Time only a Tew acTiviTies were Tor The beneTiT oT The sTudenTs Themselves. Today, There is noT an inTeresT ThaT does noT have some ouTleT in Mid- wood's seT-up. Midwood's opening pracTically coincided wiTh The beginning oT World War ll and The eTTorTs oT MidwoodiTes were Turned To The aid oT Their counTry. Senior Proms were given up, and pupils as well as Teachers leTT Tor The armed services. ln This Tense aTmosphere Dr. Ross mainTained his wise and calm supervision. Marshalling The eTTorTs oT sTudenTs and TaculTy, he plunged Midwood inTo an all-ouT war eTTorT.

No ofher high schools have been builf since l94l. I have seen Midwood grow from an infanf school fo a full-blown fhrobbing educafional cenfer for adolescenfs. Af fhe end of fwelve years in Midwood, and fiffy years of educafional service fo fhe schools of our greaf cify, I am ready fo refire and hand over fhe forch of leadership fo a younger man. My years af Midwood have been very happy, busy and safisfy- ing ones. My valedicfory goes fo your class, since I am being graduafed from Midwood wifh you. Your presence for fhe pasf four years and your willing- ness fo serve in every way wifh your feachers and myself, have inspired me fo wholehearfed service- fhaf of guiding you young men and women fo lead efficienf, happy, and serviceable lives. I also wish fo fhanlc your parenfs from fhe boffom of my hearf for fhe encouragemenf and inspirafion I have received from fheir genuine desire fo co- operafe wifh fhe school fo make if a disfincfive educafional force in fhe lives of fheir children and in fhe life of fhe communify. You have helped me during fhe pasf four years fo develop Midwood info a living American school fhaf will confinue 'ro educafe ifs youfh in fhe Amer- ican fradifion, for fhe preservafion of all fhaf we Americans hold dear. No principal could wish for more. Godspeed fo you is fhe wish of my dear wife and myself. Your friend and principal, Jacob M. Ross.
