Our Vice-Princzfml i ADELE HUMPHREY Teacher and friend, whose fine serenity Strong and secure through life's duress remains, Calmly submerging personal griefs and pains In selfless and unceasing sympathyg How many a heart, in the uncertainty Of youth's conflicting doubts and dreams, obtains From you the kindly guidance that explains And clarifies its own perplexiry! We who through many years have come to know So well what fund of wisdom you possess Acknowledge gratefully the debt we owe Your inspiration and your kindliness. Jassus CHASE FENTON, S'12 MW

Ou r 'Principal WILLIS A. DUNN Willis A. Dunn has been a constant inspira- tion to the students who have passed through the portals of the institution which his ef- forts have done so much towards building. He has retained their friendship because of his quiet strength, his deep sense of right, his keen appreciation of effort, his sincerity, his unswerving devotion to the cause of starting young people on the right road, DOE only by educating and training their minds and hands, but by strengthening their ideals and lifting up their hearts. These are qualities by which he unconsciously continues to make for himself a place in the lives of students and friends. PHILIP NORTON, S'11.

Our Vice-Principal A ' J. G. GOODSELL I am thinking how fortunate Polytechnic High School is to have Mr. Goodsell for vice-principal. As one of his students I re- member him in the days when he was teach- ing Physics, and like others, now alumni, I recall the value of his work. I-le taught more than mere technicalities of science. His warm personal interest in his students, his ability to understand their individual needs and qualities, made him unusually successful in guiding and inspiring them to their best efforts. A young person now, as when Mr. Goodsell was an instructor, cannot hut profit by contact of any kind with him. CARL D. ANDERSON, W'23.
