4 TOE eee be AS LD Eien. Kien Value, Mr. George A. Burridge Principal A look backward to September, 1920, recalls to memory the first Continuation School girls in Springfield, who paved the way for girls to graduate from Springfield Trade School in 1937, as they discovered the need for training girls and women to meet the demands of industry. A look ahead, and I see this pioneer group of girls and women increasing each year, demanding training in the trades of today, the trades of years ahead—and not only training in how to earn a living, but related training in how to live. Margaret C, Ells It seems hardly possible that twenty- five years have passed since the first group of young men received diplomas from our school, yet the facts are before us. Those who have gone out as graduates during this period have become a credit to their school and their community and for this we are grateful. None of the original instructors of the school are on the staff today. All have accepted positions in wider fields of edu- cational service. At this time, we who have followed in the footsteps of those patient, noble pioneers, pay our humble respects. George A. Burridge Mrs. Margaret C. Ells Assistant Principal In charge of Girls’ Division
