LEON C. STAPLES Saperintendenl of Scbooif R. STAPLES is an Old hand at education. Since his grad- uation from Colby College in 1905 his life has been devoted to im- proving educational conditions throughout the state. His first four years out of college were spent as superintendent of schools in Portland, Connecticut. Since then he has held similar of- fices in Ellington, Tolland, Bolton, Suffield, Plainville and East Granby, Conn. During his period of teach- ing science and coaching football, he took graduate courses at Yale where he was awarded Phi Beta Kappa honors. Mr. Staple came to the Stamford superintendency in 1933, and for the past ten years has administered his duties in an efficient progressive manner. FLORENCE L. HOLBROOK Dean of Girly LEON C.

EDWARD H. SMITH Primipfzl University of Maine rincryoct 3 mdaozge As this new publication, the Annual, comes into being, I wish it many long years of usefulness to our school. The class of 1942 has made school history in establishing this desirable means of publishing and preserving material that is of special interest to graduates and the student body. The spring issue of The Quarterly, ever since its first graduation numbern in 1904, has been largely given over to the activities and interests of the senior class. This magazine will now be free to grow along lines originally intended and the Annual will be more than a transient interest for the Seniors. May the Annual have the same good record for service and the same place in the minds and hearts of graduates to come that The Quarterly has enjoyed since its beginning. EDWARD H. SMITH 12

C' GLCM, cgicfeggfilfa OME of us, in thinking of teachers, rarely stop to realize that theyre just like the people who live next door. Some- how, we are inclined to set teachers apart in a different world. We don't seem to be able to associate them with the every day things that other people do, like baking a chocolate cake or bowling. However, this idea, in spite of its deep roots, is just another unfounded rumor that has been augmented at every turn. We have here, however, concrete evidence guaranteed to disprove this rumor and at the same time to demonstrate that the mem- bers of our faculty are really ordinary human beings like the rest of us, with their little idio- syncrasies and individual likes and dislikes.
