SX 1 Mr. Charles I. Bunhage Perhaps fhe layman who is mosf asso- ciafed in our minds wifh fhe Prep, is MR. CHARLES J. BONHAGE. For fhe pasf 35 years, Preppers have come 'ro regard his friendly, Whaf can l do for you? as an expecfed welcome upon enfering his office. Mr. Bonhage has handled fhis difficulf and offen fhankless job wifh a devofion equalled only by his love for 'rhe Prep ifself. All of us, affer our long asso- ciafion wifh him, have realized fhe mag- nefic influence of his characfer and per- sonalify. We will never forgef fhis man nor will we ever underesfimafe fhe parf he has played in our lives. Mr. Iohn A. Donahue From fhe firsf day we mef MR. JOHN DONAHOE, we have learned fo appreci- afe more and more fhe qualifies fhaf have immorfalizeed him af 'rhe Prep. We ac- cepfed him and his friendly manner even before we came fo know fhe Prep ifself. And we are nof alone, for af one fime or anofher during his exfended career he has been known as coach as well as Physical Direcfor by parficipanfs of every sporf. Thousands of Preppers have 'raken Uncle John fo 'rheir hearfs and confided fheir froubles fo his good iudgmenf. To 'rhese alumni and fo us, fhe seniors, Mr. Dona- hoe will always remain a symbol, an un- dying parf of fhe Prep fradifion. ATR Mr. loseph A. Mattern MR. JOSEPH MATTERN holds a unique place in fhe annals of Prep hisfory. Since his arrival in I9I9, he has 'laughf every subiecf on 'rhe school rosfer, wifh fhe ex- cepfion of Biology and Chemisfry. This disfinguished educafor has won fhe spon- faneous esfeem of our graduafing class. Besides having fhoroughly drilled us in fhe essenfials of Lafin and German, Mr. Maf- fern has efchecl deep impressions of loy- alfy and dignify which will remain wifh us long affer fhe frials of Cicero have faded from our minds. This he sef ouf fo do, and fo his efernal credif, fhis he has done.

Since his firsf Good morning, boys! af fhe Prep in l923, Mr. Himes has shown fime and fime again The consuming fire which drives him in his efforfs fo insfill knowledge and high ideals info our dense and offen uncooperafive heads.
