lN lVlllElVllORllAMl Mr, Clifford Tupper was born in Princeton, Maine, a small town near the Canadian border. After he graduated from Bowdoin College he taught in Baltimore and then in Cranford, New jersey. In 1927 he came to Great Neck with his wife Marian. The head of the Latin Department, he taught here for 31 years. An avid reader, he knew the classics and several languages as well. This background enabled him to influence his students deeply, to in- terest tltem in what interested him. He always stimulated thought, yet chose to veil this learning with his dry sense of humor that made him so popular a teacher. In 1940 the Arista was dedicated to him for his service to the school and his understanding nature. He was a man well acquainted with the students' families, as well as their problems and abilities. Students and fellow teachers alike admired him for his friendly character. Following a prolonged illness, he passed away on Sunday morning, April 13, at the Nassau Hospital. His death was a deep blow to the relatives and friends who were close to him. To this beloved teacher we say, for them, farewell.
