Despite the turmoil that was in our hearts, we were pleased to have the opportunity to become better acquainted with our admirable superintendent of schools, Mr. Chester Ray. He stepped in and served as our principal until Mr. Lloyd Creighton's arrival. We must have impressed Mr. Creighton who speaks for himself: The advent ofmy coming to Pembroke in the middle ofthis school year was notable hr many things. It was quite dzyjlicult for me to take the place of such a superior man,' so loved by pupils, teachers, and townspeople alike. It was dyficult to meet and to make decisions upon so many matters, the backgrounds of which were wholly unfamiliar to me. It was dzficult to meet so many new teachers, pupils, and townspeopleg and to remember them and the problems peculiar to them. The success with which I have met these problems is due to the pne school spirit exhibited by the pupils in Pembroke High School, to the co-operative attitude and willingness to help and to understand upon the part of the faculty and custodians, to the sage counsel of our superintendent, and to the backing which has been given me from our School Committee. Pembroke High School is a good school, it is a growing school, it is a school of which we may be justly proud. As changes are needed, changes will be made. My endeavor will always be to administer our school democra- tically, to make changes to benefit the greater number of pupils, yet ever keeping an awareness ofthe needs ofthe individual. Each pupil is an individual - he it is that ultimately we shall strive to serve. LLOYD M. CREIGHTON The above surely indicates that the pro- gress which has been ours in our educational system will continue to be inspirational, that the necessary sparks to keep aflame the desire for knowledge will continue to be present, and that we will ever encourage the spirit of independent thinking and pioneering, and that the educational aims in Pembroke are predictive of an even g'eater future.
