A A RECCG ITIO When Homer K. Underwood, Headmaster of Bulkeley School for nearly a quarter of a century, from 1921 to 1944, withdrew from this position for reasons of health, he left a void in this famous landmark of education, to be equaled only with difficulty. To have had the honor of seeing this School grow progressively in plant, enrollment, equipment, faculty, and scholastic standards under his supervision is a satisfaction to one who labors in edu- cation. All this was an achievement of Homer Underwood. To have had the unique privilege of inspiring for good thousands of boys who have over this period come under his influence, to have molded them by the force of his personality in the direction of higher light, to have roused them to noble ambition by the example of his own scholarly attainments, is a compensa- tion that lingers in the memory of one who works in the interest of the young. This is both a benison for those who receive and a reward for the one who gives. The qualities which endear Mr. Underwood to his former students and faculty members alike are many and admirable. One was his sense of justice. No student could say that his case was not heard, a just decision rendered. His tolerance was a conspicuous characteristic remembered by his boys. Sympathy for these in difficulty and understanding of the pro- blems of boy and teacher alike marked Mr. Underwood's unswerving routine. His uniform kindness, never vacillating but deep, bound those who shared his labors with bonds of attachment and loyalty. Bulkeley School was and is dear to the heart of Mr. Underwood. One might say that it became a part of his being. He was ever inspiring his boys with pride in their Alma Mater and firing them with a desire to win new laurels for school and country. He was thrilled with joy when his boys returned with symbols of excellence, whether from the playing field, the halls of learning, or the world of affairs. Cultured, scholarly, genial, kindly himself, he wished all boys to find in Bulkeley, a place of happiness, and an atmosphere conducive to their growth in the direction of aspiring and useful men. The long roster of successful sons of Bulkeley are a testi- mony and an answer to his fondest hopes. Mr. Underwood lives in the love and esteem of his former students, and from his near-by home in Prospect Street he can still behold the institu- tion of which he has been a great part and feel that the Bulkeley Spirit is as fine as ever, and that the motto of Bulkeley is still inspiring the boys to look to the hills . We all, students, alumni, faculty, and friends, salute a great and good man. May the passing years be kind to our fine Friend. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to beg The last of life for which the first was made. Elbert E. Orcutt 1

FGRE Deeds are the pulse of time This is a year in which We see victory looming on the horizon, on our far Hung battle fronts in a war torn world. We have begun to realize the part we must play in this rapidly changing world in which we are soon to take our places. In secondary schools and colleges all over the country change and acceleration have become the Watchword of the year. Here at Bulkeley also change and acceleration have stepped in to speed up our think- ing and to do away with idle day dreaming. We face a future the very mystery of which challenges us to fashion it into a world of lasting peace and happiness. Some- thing tiner and greater than the world has ever seen. Our think- ing, our speaking, our writing, and deeds are being moulded by to-day's great events. To-day is only the beginning. Tomorrow we go forth with a better understanding and a fuller comprehension of the great work which must be ours to do. of em But change here at Bulkeley has been more than an end in itself. It has acted as the catalyst necessary to the deeper realization that must never change. We shall never abandon the educational and ethical standards for which Bulkeley has always stood. For we are now consciously aware that they are the counterpart of the ideals for which the whole world is Work- ing, growing, and changing.
