Is it the graduating list? Mr. Joseph Tosches ' efforts in making valuable additions to the program of studies, his in¬ terest in developing constructive extra-curricular activities, and deep concern in improving the status of the students, have resulted in many beneficial innovations and the fond admira¬ tion and high esteem of the student body. This sincere man has an unruffled de¬ meanor and a grave attitude which give evidence of the fact that he is a deep thinker. Our principal is an amiable per¬ son who is always on hand to hear our grievances and gripes as we come storm¬ ing into his office. Then, too, he is help¬ ful in solving our problems and always willing to give us his sound advice. We shall always remember the pleasant in¬ formal chats and the more serious dis¬ cussions we have held with him. We feel sure that we have .enriched our charac¬ ters and our experience by our associa¬ tion with Mr. Tosches as our principal and friend. 12

Just one look at this photo of admirable teachers confirms cur opinion that they are the most intelligent and the most understanding people we know. Somehow we instinctively realize all their heroic qualities. For don ' t we recognize persistence and perseverance as they try to pound, with the force of incessant repetition, knowledge into our heads? And don ' t we perceive their tolerance when they see our blank expressions? And don ' t they prove that they ' re intelligent and understanding when we present our feeble excuses? Yes! In doing so, they set for us a perfect formula for success and happiness. In our hearts there lies a certain admiration, respect, and affection for these teachers whom we have worked with for four years. As authoritative elders we respect them as cultured teachers and co-operative friends we admire them. They can never know how much we appreciate all that they have done for us. They can never know how we have profited under their instruction. Leaving M.H.S. means leaving them. But we will take with us, into the future, all that they have taught. 13
