PRINCIPAL STANLEY R. OLDHAM Born May 15, 1887 — Died February 8, 1945 The senior class regrets deeply that Principal Oldham is not here to see us graduate. Most of us owe a debt to Mr. Oldham—for nearly four years he helped and guided us through the difficulties of high school. There is hardly a senior who at some time has not sought Mr. Oldham's assistance. He knew each of us personally and had an instantaneous grasp of our problems. He always gave the student a chance to speak, and his decisions were fair and just. Mr. Oldham understood and appreciated the qualities of adolescence. He praised and admonished; but always with the utmost justice. We shall be always grateful to Mr. Oldham, not only for his kindness to us personally. but for the improvements and enlargements of school curricula and activities. High school should be some of the happiest years and Mr. Oldham did his utmost to make them so. We appreciate Mr. Oldham more than we can say. We are deeply grateful that we have known a man as gracious and kind, as considerate and gentle, as Principal Oldham. 5
