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.

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.
