FAREWELI. It has been said that a man who is held in high esteem by his friends is seldom audibly laudedg but we, as spokesmen for the entire student body, are unanimously extending our warmest and most sincere thanks to Mr. R. C. Thompson for having given his friendship and! counsel to us and to the students of former years. His unfailing sense of fair play has assured him of making friends of the students with whom he has dealt and his sense of humor has lightened many a situation. He has proved himself not only an able principal but a fine scholar and teacher as well. After graduating from our high school in 1899 he continued his education at Cornell and the University of Paris. In 1907 he became a teacher of French and German in our Alma Mater and has served in the capacity of principal since 1922. Besides the guidance he has contributed to us all, Mr. Thompson has proved himself the most loyal supporter of our athletic activities and musical events, making a name for himself as a critic in both of these fields. His popularity extends not only through our school but through the entire community. Even though we, as students, are going to lose in Mr. Thompson a teacher and a guide, we are proud to say that we as members of the community may join the group who will retain him always as a friend.
