OUR PRINCIPAL We, the members of the class of ’37, who are about to leave these hallowed halls, take genuine pleasure in expressing our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Principal Arthur J. Barry for his helpfulness and understanding. We are indebted to Mr. Barry in more ways than our words can adequately express. To us he was like the Delphi oracle, a constant source of wise counsel and cogent reasoning. He seemed always to be cognizant of the proclivities of modern youth and was always capable of coping with the problems that con- fronted us in the years we have been under his guidance. Realizing the need and the benefits derived from student activities, both athletic and social, our principal has unstintingly given of his time and service that these activities might be successful. It is a source of real gratification that we have concluded our high school studies during the regime of Principal Arthur J. Barry. May he long continue to serve youth wisely and understandingly.
