MR. Since the year 1951 will mark the beginning of his twenty-fifth year of service to the Somerset School System, we, the class of 1951, dedicate this page to Mr. Austin J. O ' Toole. Mr. O ' Toole graduated from Fitchburg Teachers College in June of 1926 and received his Bachelor of Education Degree in 1931 from Bridgewater Teachers College. In 1935, he received his Master of Education Degree from Boston College. He was assigned to his first teaching position at the Potters- ville eighth grade in 1926, and a year later became principal of the Village School. After the disastrous high school fire of 1935, he was named acting principal of the high school. During the emergency ' ' TOOLE period of 1937, he was named principal of the new high school and remained in that capacity until 1946, when he assumed his duties as Superintendent of Schools. Mr. O ' Toole ' s philosophy of education has guided him in promoting the growth of our school system. He believes that instruction should bring about the harmonious development of all of the faculties of the individual student. This has been his constant aim, and we have benefited. We thank him for his loyalty to the Somerset School Department and wish him health and happi¬ ness in the difficult years ahead. 3
