PERCY E. NEFF Born: March 5, 1898 Died: July 1, 1952 Perce, as he was known to his as- sociates, was a real friend and a fine gentleman. Never one to seek individual honors, glory, or fame, he sought ways and means to lend a helping hand in preference to all else the world had to offer.

131169 3521 PAUL F. GOSS Born: June 3, 1902 Died: August 6, 1952 A pat on the back-a hearty handshake-a jolly laugh-these charac- terized Paul Goss, whose death was indeed a grave loss not only to N.L.H.S. but to all schools with whom he had dealings. Yearbook photography was his life's work. He was responsible for building up Loring's yearbook section, a special unit whose duty it is to help yearbook staffs and to keep them happy. As a photographer he gave unsparingly of his energy to the betterment of our yearbook, for though he was active in many schools, New London High was his great love.
