arion Wyorae and Maker .jlazrreff UCCESSFUL men often say, I owe everything I am to my mother, or My Wife is responsible for my success. The class of 1942 also owes its success to others, its advisers, Mrs. Morse and Mr. Farrell. Mrs. Morse with her warm smile, her sympathetic understanding, and fine business ability, Mr. Farrell with his friendly chuckle, his keen judgment, and wide knowledge of our problems, have won a deep place in our hearts. It was they who so splendidly guided us in the handling of exacting details. Mrs. Morse has seen ten years come and go in the Stamford High Commercial Department. A graduate of Thomas Normal School, she also attended Syracuse University. She not only enjoys traveling and swimming, but has a fondness for collecting miniatures in any form. Mr. Farrell, who first entered Stamford High in 1930 as an instructor in geometry and algebra, received his B.A. at Boston University. In his spare time he putters around his garden or enjoys working with his tools. Mrs. Morse and Mr. Farrell have proved themselves indispensable as advisers to our class. They have helped us put over many activities, overcome obstacles, counselled us wisely, encouraged us to go forward, tempered our recklessness, and inspired us in mind and heart. We of the senior class feel that we could never express adequately our gratitude for the leadership and guidance offered us by Mrs. Morse and Mr. Farrell, our advisers and friends. 22
