I-Y 6, J' lessons learned, the profitable failures, and the inevitable lectures without which life would have no sparkle, have been fondly recorded in word and in picture in the annals of our Alma Mater. Remember as you scan these pictures and read the accounts of events herein, that this little book is not just your copy of the annual- it is much more than that--it is you and your friends. Each of you has a part in its pages, in its personality. The Spirit of V42 is new. Incorporated in it is the realiza- tion of one of the fondest dreams of every high school senior. We believe that some day we shall see the Annual an established tradition of Stamford High School, and We are genuinely proud to have begun it.

ju emoriam MR. MICHAEL A. BOYLE The death of our beloved teacher and counsellor, Mr. Michael A. Boyle, has left with us all a deep sense of sorrow and loss. He gave to the Stamford High School a wealth of warm friendship, an understanding wisdom, and a genuine affection. Formal instruction was not so much a part of his theory of teaching as was informal educational guidance - that which holds over beyond the classroom - that which caused so many former pupils to inquire for him during his illness - that which is intrinsically a part of good living. His classes were never con- fined to the study of English, as such, but rather to the examina- tion of the profound philosophy of life- the sanctity of the home, the love of one's country, the respect for authority and, above all, faith - in self, in, associates, in mankind. He loved the profession of teaching because he had a sincere, ever present interest in boys and girls. Friendship to him meant honest and fearless loyalty. Those of us who shared this friendship were enriched, for he was in fact, in word, and in spirit, a true friend. Though his knowledge was broad, varied, and significant, he never made one feel inadequate, never became too mighty , never knew it all , but rather was always tolerant of one less gifted, always ready with a helpful suggestion and always thoughtful in giving advice. Although he has departed from our halls and from our Stadium, his spirit will live forever in our hearts because the indelible imprint of his sterling character and gracious person- ality will remain with us always. His spirit will continue to serve as the inspirational guidepost to those who would do honor to our school. We, of the Stamford High School, are convinced that our loss is Heavenis gain, for we know that God, in His infinite knowledge, has called home to everlasting peace one of His most humble servants!
