V F ai 'n 's.,i4uv GEORGE L. FOLLANSBFF Headmaster In the first year of his administration, Mr. George L. F ollansbee, Headmaster, has left upon the Academy a sharp imprint. After his graduation from Shady Side twenty-four years ago, Mr. Follansbee attended Princeton University, where, before he graduated in 1934 with an A.B. degree, he had been captain of the baseball team and manager of the wrestling team as well as President of the Westminster Society and Intra-Collegiate Board. He later did graduate work at New York University and the University of Pittsburgh. Following a brief period of work with a Pittsburgh steel corporation, Mr. Fol- lansbee became a teacher of biology at Philips and soon head of the department. Long interested in work with boys, the new headmaster, an athlete and avid sports fan, in recent years has served as director of youth activities at Chautauqua, where he, his wife and two children, Geof and Karen, spend the summer. In September, lNIr. Follansbee returned to his native city and alma mater be- cause, . . . the ties were still there, the pull was great, the challenge stimulating. His return to the Academy in 1953 provided the dynamic leadership necessary to make Shady Side complement the current rebirth of Pittsburgh. and lead Shady Side 9 forward
