1858-IQ58 10 MR. LOWRY MR. LUND MISS MALSBURY MR. MARTIN MRS. MAYEUR MR. MORTENSEN MISS NICHOLAS MISS PALMER M155 PRINCE MR. WERBELOW gne Centennial ,cnger THE FACULTY Mr. Lowry is leader of the Band. He looks like a pro- fessional in his new uniform. When not working with the Band he manages to keep out of mischief by teaching his- tory or economics and assisting Miss Bell with the Seniors. Note the twinkle in Mr. Lund's eye. He needs it to coral the freshies in math but we think it's because he's a newly- wed. He coaches debate and oratory which keeps him from absorbing too much greenness from his first year students. Do you want a new recipe of a pattern? If so, consult Miss Malsbury. She is another of our diminutive members but she accomplishes no end of things in her Home Ec de- partment. She even has to have an extra class period after school to pass out all the information she knows. Mr. Abe Martin is our new athletic coach and he really is a coach. For further proof look at the football and basketball season. To be sure he teaches history and law but coaching is where he takes the honors. Mrs. Mayeur is a linquist who parles Francais and also English. On the side she advises the juniors, the French Club and sees that the news staff gets it work in on time. Oh yes, she chaperones students to New Orleans during vacations. Mr. Mortensen pilots the Science and Camera Clubs when he isn't teaching physics and chemistry or doing all sorts of research along the same lines. He likes to study and is contemplating getting his doctor's degree. Miss Nicholas keeps busy from sunrise to sunset. Teach- ing English and Public Speaking occupies part of her time while the rest is consumed with play practice and contest coaching. Through it all she comes up smiling. If you want to know the latest situation in world affairs consult Miss Palmer. She teaches history and civics but her pride and joy and worry too is the Tiger. She hardly finishes one until she begins planning the next one. What's a scratch on your little finger or any other ail- ment when there is a capable school nurse like Miss Prince around. She keeps close tab on us all and gives the Senior girls a thorough course in home hygiene. Mr. Werbelow left us at the end of the first semester to take a position at the Deerfield-Shields High School. We hated to see him leave Princeton but we rejoice with him in his promotion.

.Ente Clenfenniaf gnger 1858-1958 BUCK TWG From school to school we go as we take each forward step in our education. Beginning in any one of the three grades, depending where we live, we gain the elemental needs of our education. Then we pass to the Junior High located in the Logan building. Last but not least we ar- rive at the High School, from which four years later we leave with our much coveted diploma to begin life. RINCETON is justly proud of its schools and rightly so. From the earliest days education has been one of the main emphases. At the time of its incorporation school was held in the basement of the Hampshire Colony Church. Private schools were also held in homes until the formation of a definite school system. According to the records the first public school was legally authorized in 1851. The first school was located on the site of the present Lincoln school and was known as the South Union School. It was a two-room school and is supposed to have been erected by john H. Bry- ant and james Everett. Apparently no records had been kept before 1857. In that year a meeting was held and H. P. Farwell was employed as Principal at a salary of seven hundred dollars. The school year was divided into three terms, spring, winter and fall. Early in 1901 the school was destroyed by fire and the present Lincoln School was erected. The second school was the North Union School or Depot School. Later the name was changed to Douglas. The coming of the C. B. 8: railroad had caused the population to move to the north and thus created the need for a school in that sec- tion. The building was ready for use in the fall of 1879. By this time the educational needs had increased and Mr. C. P. Snow had been employed as Superintendent of the city schools at a salary of 551300. The highest salaried teacher received 3500. The third building is what is now known as the Logan School although it did not have that name until 1901. The building was voted in 1878 but was not constructed until ten years later. In 1923 a movement to transfer the eighth grade from the High School to the grade system resulted in the creation of a junior High School in the Logan building. A few years later the present building was constructed.
