The I964 Arrow ls Dedicated to FRANK S. FGLEY Not only does he seem a proper Bostonian about to take over an executive suite, but assistant principal Frank S. Foley shows a vigor that makes you think he could take you out on the golf links and run you off the course. And he could. This low-handicap golfer has enough trophies to fill the showcases in the main hall at the high school. This man with the compact, athletic frame first came to Ridgewood from the Winchester, Mass., Country Day School in 1932 to teach Latin and history. The sharp a of New England has not entirely dis- appeared from his speech. Mr. Foley was born in Cohasset, Mass., and later earned both Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees at Boston University, He continued his graduate work in this area at New York University. On leaving Boston University, he taught at the Morgan School'in Clinton, Conn., for a year, managing on that tour of duty to coach all athletic teams in the school. At Ridgewood, he has served as assistant basketball coach, golf coach, advisor to the International Club and the Hi-Y Club, a 15-year job. ln l941 he started the Booster Club, which he presently serves as advisor. From 1946-49 he was principal of the Summer School. ln his guidance office stands a file stacked with letters of thanks from the hundreds of boys he has sent on to prosperous college careers and iobs since he organized the guidance program in 1941. Students young and old still drop in for a visit. ln 1943, as Veterans Counselor and principal of Vet- eran's Evening School, he advised countless hundreds in their educational plans, a task that he continues to this very day. ln 1955 when invited to deliver a maior speech at the annual Colloquium of College Admissions Officers at Arden House in New York, so effective was he that his speech became part of the present College Entrance Examination Board Handbook. ln the editorial field, he was chairman for the Metropoli- tan School Study Council publication, Education for Citi- zenship, a pioneer study of the newer practices in educa- tion. Last summer he was co-editor of the Guidance Hand- book, a complete catalogue of courses for grades 7-12 in Ridgewood, and prior to that was chairman of the Report Card Committee for the Village. During World War ll, he turned his talents to serving the community as chairman of the Ridgewood Salvage Committee from 1943-45 and as member of the Fair Rents Commission, both on appointment by the Mayor. At that time he also organized the Civil Defense Unit which is active today. ln 1955 he became chairman of the Mayor's Commis- sion on Recreation, Local users of the municipal tennis courts have Mr. Foley to thank for all the municipal courts operative today. His group also expanded playgrounds for baseball in the Village. For his work on the commission, former Mayor lnow Freeholderl Robert L. Olson writes: The people of Ridge- wood and their children for years to come will be indebted to Frank Foley for his skill, his kindly interest and his en- thusiastic support of every recreational activity in our Vil- Iage. Mr, Foley retired from the commission in 1962. His plans for the future are indefinite. He may stay in Ridgewood and attempt to emulate his brother Mason, who is First Selectman of Hingham, Massachusetts. He may move to Florida with his wife Peggy. Certain he is to continue his bridge-playing, his bowling and his golf. Page l lim.,

In Recognition of 2.5 Years As Publications Adviser The cosmopolitan air of the man the English Department refers to as Our Leader, Julian P. Darby, belies his birthplace of Cortland, N. Y. The polishing probably came at toney Amherst where he was awarded his Bachelor of Arts. More English courses at Cornell and Columbia put enough credits on his transcripts to be awarded a doctorate. This ivy background also accounts for the tweedy coats he hangs on his tall, spare frame. His three years of teaching at a private school in Connecticut probably accounts for his decline from being a highly talented violinist to what he now describes as a bad fiddler. Which isn't true, as can be attested by his duets with his violinist daugh- ter, Susan, music student and secretary of her class at Oberlin in 1963. Mr. Darby's father was a professor of Music at Syracuse University. ln 1927 he came to Ridgewood High School where some 22 years later he was chosen head of the English Department. For 25 years he served as faculty advisor to the Arrow Literary maga- zine, formerly issued three times a year with the fourth issue published as the yearbook. Mr. Darby has no plans on retiring, but his friends are certain that Martha's Vineyard looms large in them. There every summer Mr. Darby catches up on his reading, his rest and the local doings at Vineyard Haven. Whenever any of the family can-wife Barbara from the Ridgewood YWCA iob, son Paul from Ridgewood High School, or daughter Susan from Boston, father Julian from his books- each is 05 and running for the ferry from Woods Hole to the Vineyard. Mr. Darby's organizations include National Council for Teach- ers of English and national, state and local teachers' organiza- tions.
