MR. GUY B. STAPLES M 1 S les has for years guided Murdock High School ably and efliciently. r tap Besides holding a B.S. degree from Tufts and a M.Ed. from Harvard, he has done additional graduate study at Harvard and Hyannis Teachers' College. A t from his regular duties as a principal, Mr. Staples teaches an intensive par course in'Senior Mathematics. It has often been said that any student who succeeds in passing this course will have little difficulty with college mathe- matics. His wife is a former teacher who takes a prominent part in social and educa- tional activities of the town. She frequently serves as a substitute teacher when ever called upon. Their two sons. Carlton and Baxter, are both graduates of Murdock. We. of the Class of 1947, hope that Mr. Staples will guide, as he guided us, more students on to graduation. We thank him wholeheartedly 21 gfeall ITlZlI'lY
