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

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

Whether it be in his capacity of adminis¬ trator or that of a classroom teacher we have found our assistant principal always ready to lend a helpful and guiding hand. Modern education now recognizes co-curricular activ¬ ities as a primary function of the high school program to Mr. Higgiston has been en¬ trusted the management of the vast amount of funds involved in these transactions. Mr. Moran is our director of guidance. He gave us immeasurable help in finding positions and applying for them. For those of us who are going further to school, his great library of pamphlets was always at our disposal. Con¬ stantly he helped us in deciding what type of future we could expect after graduation. 14
