T he old order changeth yielding place to new, said the poet Tennyson. Mr. Francis Morhous, a member of the faculty since Mont Pleasant began, and the principal for two and one-half years, left in January of 1957. He assumed the Nott Terrace High School principalship formally held by the late Roy E. Abbey. He will serve as principal of the Linton High School which, when completed, will replace Nott Terrace. Mr. Donald Sayles, a Mont Pleasant alumnus who has succeeded Mr. Morhous, was as- sistant principal here for two years. Mr. Charles Abba, who came to us in September of 1956 as our vice-principal, is also a former student. With the invaluable aid of the other members of the administration, they have continued to per- form well the exacting task of . . . BUILDING OUR CHARACTERS.

'cflratitude is the memory of the heart -.lean Baptiste Massieu We are grateful to a man who has served Mont Pleasant as teacher, assistant principal, and prin- cipal from September, 1931, until January 1, 1957. On that day he became the principal of Nott Terrace High School. He is devoted to the highest ideals and standards of education and has spent the years striving to maintain these principles in our school. It was with regret that we learned he was leav- ing us. We realized that We were losing a friend who has greatly influenced our lives and who has carried on the fine traditions of Mont Pleasant. As a special tribute to and appreciation for all that he has done, we, the Class of 1957, dedi- cate our yearbook to our former principal, MR. FRANCIS E. MORHOUS.
