The kind Mrs. Mackimmie helped us to get acquainted with each other and told our class that the seniors in that particular year were more bluff than anything else. Our class was very small in number, only twenty-seven members, because the students from Center- brook all skipped a grade that year or just the other way around. Naturally, our class has quality rather than quantity. We felt most insignificant when initiation came around and the girls had to wear boys' pants, vests on backwards, men's shoes, ice box caps, men's garters, make-up on one side of their faces, one side of their hair in pin curls and the other side straight. The boys wore girls' skirts, silk stockings, pajama tops for shirts, and strainers on their heads. Our President, Gustina Renzoni, carried us through our first year successfully with the assistance of Louisa Kreis, Vice-President, Arlene Ingraham, Secretary, and Harold Steen, Treasurer. The next year we were welcomed by Miss Verenis as our homeroom teacher. We were now sophomores, but still underclassmen and you know what that means. We promptly elected our class officers: Robert Reynolds, President, Arlene Ingraham, Vice-President, Lillian Tucker, Secretary, and james Beardsley, Treasurer. The membership of our class was trimmed down a little to twenty-two. We were looking forward to holding our Sophomore Dance, when we were informed that due to the oil shortage we would not be able to have our hop. We felt very sad and our last hope for financial success was gone. Before we knew it, june arrived and a hard year's work had been accomplished. We came back in the fall-full-fledged juniors. To us that meant one important thing-we were upperclassmen at last. We had a big year ahead of us-social events to prepare for and, of course, the inevitable classes and homework. Our first order of business was to elect Eugene Budney, President, Annette Brown, Vice-President, Lillian Tucker, Secretary, and Louis Drudi, Treasurer. We immediately began making plans for Junior Week and decided, first of all, we would look tricky wearing red Jeep hats during the week. For the assembly program, we produced an original play foretelling the future, or sup- powly the future, of each student in our class. Needless to say, we made a big hit nor will we soon forget Mr. Tippin in his role of elevator operator. Right after the play, we busied ourselves with the decorations for our super-duper Prom. Our originality came to the fore when we carried out the Star Dust theme in the gym. It was complete with the romance of the moon and stars. junior Week gave us our first real chance to prove what capable people we really are for we actually made money on our prom-an unkown feat up to this time. As a finish to our junior year, we put on a splendid reception for the Class of 1950. The gym was decorated to represent a Mexican Fiesta. When Class Day came, believe it or not, the seniors made a few disparaging remarks about us and our presi- dent retaliated in good style with a few remarks about them, just to let them know where we stood. Mr. Tippin contributed his help as our class adviser throughout our junior year. And now the fall of 1950 finds us nearing our goal-we are seniors. We were very happy to welcome Fred King to our class, for with our large class of fifteen, we surely did need him. This year our officers are: Warner Lord, President, Annette Brown, Vice-Presi- dent, Shirley Kraaz, Secretary, and Fred King, Treasurer. We invited Mr. Oliver to serve as class adviser and we would like to thank him very much for the time he has spent helping us during the year. Mrs. Ford has helped us assemble our Osage and we would like to express our appreciation to her, too. Our plans are made for the banquet, for Class Day and other commencement activi- ties. As the year rolls by, we realize our pleasant stay at Pratt is growing short, it is nearing time to say farewell, to put our books aside, and prepare to receive our diplomas. At this time we wish to thank the lower classes for the support they have given us in the past four years. We think our stay here has been successful and we hope when your turn comes, you, too, can look over your happy years at Pratt. 'I2 ANNETTE BROWN NETT1 Class Officer 3, 4, Osage Board 4, Prattler 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Danc- ing 1, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Baseball 2L, 3, 4, Hockey 3, Minstrel 1, 2, 4, Homemaking Club 1, 2. Annette, one of the sweetest girls in Pratt, will long be remembered for her willingness to carry on many tasks. When speaking of Annette, we must mention her help in our successful musical programs. Whatever Annette does after graduation, we are all with her to wish her luck! EUGENE BUDNEY GENE Traffic Squad 2, 3, 4, Minstrel 3, Craft Club 4, Dancing 1, Osage Board 3, 4, Student Council 3, Class Officer, President 3, Soccer 1, 2L, 3L, 4L, Baseball 1, 2L. Who'll take over first place in the lunch line next year, when Gene isn't here? The left wing on the soccer team will be hard to replace for Gene has been flying up and down the field for us for three years. His activities at school have been countless, for he enjoys everything from sports to crafts. Gene hopes to become a building contractor. Good luck, Gene! LOUIS DRUDI HLOUIBU Student Council President 4, Dramatics 2, 3, 4, President, Declamations 1, 4, Crafts Club 4, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, Soccer 1, 2, Track 2L, 3L, 4L, Hi-Y 2, Glee Club 3, 4, Current Affairs Club 4, Osage 4, Class Treasurer 3, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, School Play 4, Photography 1, Trafiic Squad 3, 4. Do you remember how cute Louis was when he read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas in assembly his freshman year? Well, we think he's still cute, except when he just can't see but one side Chis sidej of an argument in Problems. He has held offices of all sorts and really attained the heights this year when he was appointed Student Council President. Louis hopes to go on to school but his plans are not yet complete. Here's to the best to a popular member of '51! ARLENE INGRAHAM UARCHIEH Prattler 3, Minstrel 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Dancing 1, Homemaking Club 1, 2, 3, Dramatics 4, Osage Board 4, Class Officer, Secretary 1, Vice-President 2, Baseball 3, 4, Tumbling Club 4, Cheerleaders 2, 3, 4, Captain. A loud team cheer, there's Arlene ready to lead another cheer. She has been a tireless cheerleader for three years. When most girls are worrying about dates for dances and what not, Arlene is very calm- she's sure she can count on Sandy. Arlene has been a popular and well- liked member of our class. We all wish her the finest kind of future in her chosen field of secretarial work. 13 ANNE JOHNS ANNE Homemaking Club 1, 2, 3, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4, Minstrel 1, 2, 3, 4, Dancing 1, 4, Prattler 2, 3, 4, Craft Club 4, Hockey 1, 2L, 3L, 4L, Basketball 1, 3, Baseball 1, 2, School Play 2, 4, Osage 4, Declamations 1, Hi-Y 2, 3. What! You can't find Anne! There she is with Marge, of course. She has been outstanding in school activities, especially field hockey, dramatics, baseball, and the school minstrels. Her pet subject is English -and she just lover to diagram sentences. Anne will certainly be missed by everyone who knew her. Keep up your good work, Anne, and the best of luck in the future. FRED KING UFREDH Soccer 4L, Basketball 4L, Baseball 4L, Class Oflicer 4, Boys' Glee Club 4. Since our class was so small in number, we gave Fred a hearty wel- come. We're glad we did, for we liked him right away. He readily found a place for himself in much of our school life. He gave us a bang-up demonstration of how a goalie should handle a soccer game. All the sports appeal to Fred, and he's no slacker on the scholastic side. Our hats are off to Fred! SHIRLEY KRAAZ Student Council 2, Class Officer, Secretary 4, Osage Board 4. If you like blonde hair, blue eyes, real curly hair, a peaches and cream complexion, you can have them all wrapped in one package labeled Shirley. She is one of the best scholars in our class-though ofhce practice and shorthand are her favorite subjects, all of which make her an excellent prospect for secretarial work. We know Shirley will be missed at Pratt next year, but Laddie will be coming for years for he can accompany Carol and Buddy. Happy days to you! WARNER LORD Prattler 2, 3, 4, Editor, Class Officer, President 4, Osage Board 4, School Play 4, Student Council 3, 4, Orchestra 1, 2, Dramatics 3, 4, Pi Club 2, 3, 4, Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, Soccer Manager 2, 3L, 4, Track Man- ager 1, 2L, 3L. As a manager, Warner's record, as young as he is,- probably beats Connie Mack's. While he isn't giant size now-you can't imagine the minuteness of his stature when he was a freshman. His list of activities shows what an active member of our class Warner has been. He is one of those dependable persons-always to be counted on for a job well done. Our best wishes to him for a successful future. 14 ELWYN MACK TOP Soccer 1, 3L, 4L, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4L, Track lL, 2L, 3L, 4L, School Play 1, 2, 4, One-Act Play 1, Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4, Boys' Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Minstrel 1, 2, 3, 4, Interclass Badminton Champion 3, Osage Board 4, Dancing Club 1, 4. Elwyn hasn't missed a trick at Pratt. He has thoroughly enjoyed life here as his list of activities designates. Elwyn has a strong bent for selling-he has sold more than his share in our magazine campaigns and this last year he was responsible for a big deal in Pratt sweat shirts. As a Miler Elwyn is really TOPS MARJORIE MACLEAN MARSH-3 Homemaking Club 1, 2, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Cheer- leader 2, 3, 4, Dramatics 1, 2, Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, Baseball 1, 2, 4, Basketball 2, Minstrel 1, 2, 3, 4, Osage Board 4, Prattler 3, Dancing Club 1. Probably you are wondering who the shorty behind the Fife Rail soda fountain is. Who else but Margie? She is good at mixing sodas as well as leading cheers. If you hear a cackle, you will know it is Margie for she is full of laughter. She is undecided about the future, but here's wishing her luck. CAROLYN MAN EE CAR0LyN Basketball 2, 3L, 4, Captain, Hockey 1, 3L, 4, Captain, Student Council 3, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Dramatics Club 2, 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Base- ball 2, 3L, 4, Prattler 3, 4, Osage Board 4, Minstrel 1, 2, 4, School Play 4, Future Homemakers of America 1, 2, 3 President, 4 President. Carolyn's active leadership as President of the F.H.A. has made the club a real success. As a senior, she was the proud captain of a vic- torious hockey team. We truly envy her when she drives to school in her red convertible. She has made many friends with her pleasing per- sonality and we know she'll make a fine, efficient nurse. Best of luck always, Carolyn. FRANCIS MCGRATH FRANCIS Traffic Squad 4, Prattler Staff 4, Dramatics Club 3, Basketball Assistant Manager 3, Track Manager 3, Radio Club 2, Orchestra 1, Photography Club 1, Osage Board 4. From the smallest freshman in captivity in 1947, Francis has grown to be a full-sized senior-it's almost unbelievable. Management of athletic teams has been his strong suit. If he follows the trend he has set for himself at Pratt, he will be Warner's assistant for life, not a bad idea, is it Warner? 15 GUSTINA RENZONI DIDI Girls' Chorus 1, 2, President Clef Dwellers 3, Minstrel 1, 2, Prattler 2, 3, Class Oflicer 1, President, Chairman of junior Prom 3, Student Council 1, 2, 4, Traflic Squad 2, 3, 4, Osage Board Editor, D.A.R. Award, Base- ball 1, 2, 3L, 4L. Yes, our modest, hard-working Didi is flashing a diamond this year! We won't forget how capably she managed our magazine campaign and the wonderful job she did as editor-in-chief of our Osage. Our class owes a debt of gratitude to Gustina for all her help through our four years. We are confident that she will accomplish her future aims. PAMELIA SCHWANNECKE PAM Girls' Chorus 1, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Dramatics 2, 3, 4, Prattler 3, 4, Student Council 3, 4, School Play 3, 4, One-Act Play 1, Minstrel 1, 3, 4, Dancing 1, Osage Board 4, Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4L, Pi Club 3, Vice-Presi- dent 4. Pam has been one of our most active girls at Pratt and her report card is no disgrace. But she's no grind for she finds time to ac- complish many extra jobs from making posters for our entertainments to dramatics, from dancing to hockey. Her ambition is to become a dress designer and at present she plans to take a P.G. and then enter the Rhode Island School of Design. We hope you'll use the girls of '51 for your models Pam ! LILLIAN TUCKER LIL Homemaking Club 1, 2, Student Council 1, 4, Class Ofllcer, Secretary 2, 3, Traffic Squad 4, Baseball 1, Prattler 3, Osage Board 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 1, 3 Clef Dwellers, President 4, Dancing Class 1, Cheerleaders 1. Lillian has sparkling brown eyes and always wears a winning smile. She has been as busy as a bee at Pratt for four years, ready to lend a hand for the success of any project. Lil is at her best on the dance Hoof where she excels in modern dancing. We all know, with her neatness and will- ingness to help, she will meet success in whatever she does. 'I6 C L A S S W I L L We, the graduating class of Pratt High School, being well trained and educated by the august faculty of our school hereby do designate this document as our last will and testament.

The D,A.R. annually awards the out- standing high school girl in each state of the nation with a 35100 bond and emblems are presented to a girl in each high school selected as the best citizen by her class- mates and the faculty. Three nominations are made by the class and from these three names, the faculty selects one. This last year Carolyn Manee, Pamela Schwannecke and Gustina Renzoni were chosen as the D.A.R. nominees and Gustina Renzoni received the final appointment. Pratt High School has never yet been the lucky winner but we are glad for the girl who does win the Connecticut award, and we can always hope that our turn will come. PI CLUB The honor at Pratt High School which carries the mark of highest distinction is membership in Pi Club. Only a small group is elected by the faculty each year. Appoint- ment to the club is based first of all on high scholarship followed by participation in sports, outside activities, leadership and character. Each year Class Day is eagerly awaited by students and guests when the tapping ceremony for new members is held. Only students in the three upper classes are eligible for membership. Each mem- ber receives a Pi Club pin as a symbol of his appointment. Left to right: Carolyn Manee, Gustina Renzoni Pamelia Schwannecke. 3 lfgli , Q SQ? i?

There are many stories about Captain Isaiah Pratt and the reasons why he decided to leave his property, amounting to about Sl00,000-no inconsiderable fortune in those days--to establish a school For the sole use and benefit of the children of members of the First Congregational Church of Essex. There are, however, no records regarding these matters. The recorded history of the school begins with an account of the death of Captain Isaiah Pratt in 1879 and the probate of his will which was found to contain the provision mentioned above and named a board' of trustees to administer the trust created by the will. Dr. Charles H. Hubbard, skillful physician and leading citizen of Essex for a half century, was named as chair- man of the board and it was due to his wise decisions and broad-minded actions that the school, when estab- lished and properly housed, was made available to all qualified children of Essex regardless of church affilia- tions. The schoolhouse was completed in 1892. It was planned to use Connecticut granite, quarried from joshua's Rocks on the shore of the Connecticut River in Lyme. The first story was completed as planned and may still be seen incorporated in the center of the present building, which was constructed in 1921-1922. When the first story of the original building had been completed, it was found that the stone was too expen- sive and the second story was constructed of wood. As nearly as can be determined, the school opened in September, 1894, with Walter E. Foster as prin- cipal and only teacher. His brother, and perhaps Wal- ter, had been a teacher in Hill's Academy. It seems that the town had operated that school, housed in the building now used by the Red Men, after it had been discontinued as a private school. Captain Pratt did not specify in his will what grade of work should be taught in the new school, but it seemed to the trustees that a high school would best serve the community and the work in the old academy was discontinued. The school opened with about twelve pupils. In 1893 not many pupils continued school beyond the ninth grade. Probably there were not more than twenty Essex young people who were thus occupied. Besides those who went to Pratt several attended Morgan School in Clinton, commuting each day by train. A few others attended Deep River High School. Still smaller numbers attended school in Middletown or the Moody School in Northfield, Massachusetts. Mr. Foster remained but one year and was followed by Francis J. Allison. He served for seven years, con- tinuing to be the only teacher. He was a good instruc- tor and after leaving Essex continued school work in Massachusetts where he became a state supervisor for many years. The number of students remained about the same. To piece out the meager income of the estate, the second floor of the Pratt building was rented to the town for the seventh and eighth grades of the Essex village school. The first class graduated from Pratt High School in 1896 and included Eva Louisa Hull fdeceasedl and Blanche Adelle Comstock, whose married name is Mrs. Blanche C. St. John of Portland, Oregon. The informa- tion regarding these early graduates was collected sev- eral years ago and may not be correct at present. The second class graduated the following year and con- sisted of two girls: Cora Sylvia Comstock, whose mar- ried name is Mrs. I. U. Garman of 872 Michigan Avenue, Portland, Oregon, and Mary Elizabeth Thomp- son of 711 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Miss Thompson is still a frequent visitor in Essex. In 1898 a class of five was graduated, including two boys, Henry Little Griggs and Carroll B. LaPlace, now of Chevy Chase, Maryland. Mr. LaPlace is usually in Essex each year. The three girls of this class were Ida Belle Ely of Centerbrook, recently retired after many years of service in the Essex Savings Bank, Susan Little Griggs and Elie Cornelia Pratt, now Mrs. L. A. Behrens of Essex. The Class of 1899 was all girls again, four of them: Jeannie Williams Halliday, the present Mrs. Charles I. Winne of Essex, Irene Fleming Hough of New York, and Louise Pratt Stillman, now Mrs. M. F. Friedel, whose daughter, Mrs. Evelyn Schwannecke, is a Pratt graduate and whose granddaughter is a member of this year's graduation class. It is interesting to note that these three would have qualified for Pratt High under the literal interpretation of Captain Pratt's will. At one time Evelyn Friedel would have been the only person to qualify under such interpretation. The other member of the class was Frances Asbury Shailer fdeceasedj. Mary Louise Mather, now Mrs. Arthur M. Sweet, was the only girl in the Class of 1900. There were two boys, Jesse Dolph, who mysteriously disappeared a few years later, and Arthur C. Knowles who died several years ago. The Class of 1901, just fifty years ago, in- cluded Adelaide Elizabeth Brockway, now Mrs. Bur- ton Doolittle, Sr., of Middletown, Raymond Nettleton Dickinson fdeceasedlg Cora Bell jones, now Mrs. Cora Bell Dolphg Melvin Copeland Knowles, now of Old Saybrook, Frances Elizabeth Hubbard Cdeceasedb, and Anna Catherine Theis. The Class of 1902 included Fred H. Koehler of Essex and Louise Doane, now Mrs. Walter Hyland. There were three in the Class of 1903-Sarah Hilley, Mary Swan Cdeceasedj and Hazel Powers who be- came Mrs. Dilbert of Los Angeles, California. What would have been the Class of 1904 was held back for a year for the alleged purpose of raising the grade of the school-or was it because the new principal, E. M. Libby, schemed to keep this class of four attractive young ladies in school for another year? At any rate, there were graduated in june of 1905 Maud S. Staples, now Mrs. Ernest Baileyg Florine Parker, the present Mrs. George Comstock, Elizabeth M. Pratt, now Mrs. john Saunders and Lillian May Mather of Wollaston, Massachusetts: The limits of this book forbid any further enumera- tion of the graduates which number around 1,100. It is planned, however, to publish the complete list as soon as possible. The early graduations were held in the Essex Con- gregational Church, but beginning with the Class of 1905, the commencement exercises were held in the Town Hall and since 1923 in the auditorium of the school. And now, returning to the school year 1901-1902. Francis Allison left in the middle of that year and the vacancy was filled by the engagement of Josiah W. Taylor, then a member of the senior class at Weslayan. Mr. Taylor completed the year and remained for another, the school year, 1902-1903. He had progres- sive ideas about high school education and left his imprint on Pratt. At the end of 1902 he resigned to accept a larger position at Mexico, Maine. Within a few years he was put in charge of the supervision of all high schools in Maine and did much to raise the standards of the schools of that state until his untimely death, about 1930, ended his career. Leaving Essex he recommended to fill the position a classmate and fraternity brother at Wesleyan, E. M. Libby, who had served one year at North Windham, Maine, as principal of a consolidated school. Visiting Essex in July, 1903, he was engaged by Dr. Hubbard 53 who continued to serve as chairman of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Taylor, upon leaving Essex, recom- mended that the town cooperate with the Pratt trus- tees to make Pratt an adequate high school for the town. Mr. Libby, with the hearty approval of Dr. Hubbard, set to work toward this goal. Up to that time numbers remained small but there was evidence of an increasing demand for high school education. The resources of the Pratt estate allowed but one teacher and but 3750 per year for that one. Due to the provisions of the Pratt bequest, there was much prejudice on the part of many townspeople in regard to any cooperation between the town and Pratt School. Several bitterly contested town meetings were held and legal advice was secured until finally in 1907 the town voted to pay the sum of S450 as tuition for its pupils in Pratt High School, approved by the State Department for that purpose. It was also voted that the arrangement should continue with an- nual appropriations as should be agreed upon by the town officers and the trustees. This amount of tuition has increased through the years until during recent years it has been in excess of 350,000 As soon as the first appropriation was voted, an assistant was added to the teaching force. Miss Anna B. Oertel, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke, was engaged and did faithful work at Pratt until the end of the school year 1909-1910. Meantime in April, 1908, the school and the com- munity met with a great loss in the death of Dr. Hub- bard. The court appointed Richard Bates Tiley to succeed him, and he was a worthy successor. He was a man of exceptional ability, liberal educational ideas, sterling character, and humanitarian purpose. He gave most liberally of his time and resources to give Essex the best possible school. It was largely through his efforts that legal opinions were secured which induced the voters of the town to accept Pratt as a high school for the town and to vote more financial support from year to year. It was also his courage and judgment which led to the investment of most of the resources of the Pratt estate in a new and, at the time, very adequate building which was constructed in 1922. Much of the success of Pratt High School through the years was due to the fact that its affairs were managed for nearly fifty years by two such men as Dr. Charles H. Hubbard and Richard B. Tiley. By 1912 the number of pupils had increased to seventy-five with two assistants in addition to the prin- cipal. In March of that year Mr. Libby resigned and R. P. Carr completed the year. G. V. Sanderson was engaged for the following year and in the summer of 1914 William Burdick was engaged as principal. He retained the position six years covering the years of the first World War, and he became closely identified not only with the life of the school but of the com- munity as well. He was athletic himself and did much to build up the athletics at Pratt. He resigned in the summer of 1920 to take a position in California where he has had a successful educational career. Harry Titcomb, another Maine man, was secured to succeed Mr. Burdick. He served the school till june, 1927, and his term of service saw a very substantial increase in numbers and with the new building which was formally opened in October, 1923, Pratt High took its place among the leading smaller high schools of the state. Mr. Titcomb resigned to accept the principalship of a large New jersey high school-a position he has retained until the present. Harry Titcomb was followed by Walter Greenall. He served Pratt for two full years and made a host of friends in the school and the community. He has suc- cessfully continued educational work in other sections of New England. He was followed by Marlin V. Mc- Laughlin, who ably administered the school for five years till june, 1934, when A. A. Mackimmie, jr., who had already been a teacher at Pratt for several years and had married Marguerite Smith, a valued member of the faculty, was at once named principal with the unanimous approval of all concerned. During the fourteen years of Mac's principalship the school may be said to have had its golden age . The town was liberal with its appropriations, many improvements were made, equipment added, and a shop was built and equipped by cooperation of town and state. However, it was not all smooth sailing, for during the days of World War II several of the strong teaching staff were lost and it became almost impossible to fill their positions. With deep regret of all concerned,.Mr. Mackimmie resigned in the summer of 1948 to accept the principal- ship of Windham High School at Willimantic, where he is doing fine work and Mrs. Mackimmie is teach- ing part time on the faculty of the University of Con- necticut. There was a large number of able candidates for the vacancy caused by Mr. Mackimmie's resignation. By the unanimous vote of the Baord of Trustees, Gil- bert Pearson was selected, and he has handled the position in such a manner that in spite of the natural let-down expected as a result of the vote to discontinue Pratt School with the opening of the regional school for Chester, Deep River and Essex, Pratt has not suffered and was in splendid condition when Mr. Pearson resigned in March to accept the principalship of the Stafford Springs High School. Mr. E. M. Libby, who had served the school as principal from 1903 to 1912 and has been chairman of the Board of Trustees since the resignation of Richard B. Tiley nearly thirty years ago, was called in to terminate the affairs of the school. Very much more should be said about Pratt High School and those who have maintained and operated it, but space in this final Osage is limited. It is pos- sible to name but a few in addition to those already included. Dr. Hubbard was the master mind of the trustees until his death and then the same was true of Richard Tiley. Since his death the board has in- cluded Albert Ely who gave years of devoted service, Robert Markham, Graham Pelton, and Morton C. Tiley, all of whom gave several years of excellent ser- vice, and finally the memebrs of the present board: Harry B. Reynolds, E. V. D. Wetmore, Axel johnson, Rossiter E. Lord, Alfred R. Wright, and E. M. Libby. It is not possible to list all those who have served for longer or shorter periods on the faculty. Those who are members of the final group are: Mrs. Catherine Ford, Miss Isabelle Brown, Miss Judith Kinney, Miss Ann Peaslee, William Waldron, Arnold Oliver, Thomas Aykroyd Cunfortunately lost to West Hart- ford in Marchb, Robert Bateman, Charles Tippin, William Stoll who is completing Mr. Aykroyd's work, our fine secretary, Laura Baldwin, and our capable and well-beloved cafeteria manager, Mrs. Albin Peterson. No story of Pratt could be complete without mention of Llewellyn E. Mack, custodian of buildings and prop- erty, a man loved and respected by all who have had to do with Pratt for many years. A supplement containing the names of all teachers and students connected with Pratt High School throughout its history accompanies the 1951 Osage and will be distributed with it. It is natural that there should be a feeling of deep regret to see the ending of the fine work done by Pratt High School. The late Dr. Henry Van Dyke once wrote a book of essays on The Art of Leaving Off. In the spirit of his teaching we must now realize that Pratt School has done its work and made its con- tribution. It is now the time for leaving off. The new regional school offers the opportunity for the future educationally, socially, and financially. Thus we say a fond farewell to the school of the past and we hail the Regional-the school of the future. MR. TILEY ISAIAH PRATT DR. HUBBARD K !
