Brant. faculty Every class we attended, every subject we studied, every activity in which we took part during the year was designed by the various departments of our faculty to fit us in some way for the future. And, though only a short while ago we thought of the future as merely a dull, bookish word, now for us, it is here. We are grateful to our friends, the faculty who have prepared us so well to accept its challenge Under the leadership of Mr. Frank W. Bogardus, jr., the Board of Education this year again devoted itself tirelessly to the rearing of Stamford youth in the American tradition The late Dr Dolan a lon . . , g time member, exemplified the true spirit with which the Board has carried on its unpaid tasks.

All incoming and outgoing mail was handled by the office this yearg the daily and attend- ance bulletins were typed by the staffg records of every student were kept up to date in the office. In addition, the office tunities to interested students desiring practical experience in office work. SHS is exceptionally musical-minded, chiefly because of the fine work of our Music Department.

Our department leaders have performed their various tasks well. It is to their credit that Stamford High possesses the fine record it does, for they are the bridge between our principal and our teachers, and they are the persons who coordinate the many separate organs of the school into one smooth work- ing unit. Obviously, their task is no easy one. How- ever, these fine teachers have worked long and hard at their jobs and it is certainly apparent that they have succeeded. Because of them Stamford High is a better and a more ehicient school. . ,ry :3' . 't nl 'Sq - i' 4 It ark. 5513 'P L. FLORENCE HOLBROOK BERTHA M. NEWCOMB Latin Mat X 51525 ..

,ppl- mony classes. Musical students took part in assem- blies, broadcasts, and other extra-curricular activi- ties. Do you know what colors harmonize-how to arrange a room properly? SHS art students do. In numerous courses presented by the Art Department students received instruction which will be very useful to them in later years. Students who plan to make art their profession will find themselves well prepared, thanks to classes in weaving, crafts, mechanical drawing, and costume design. Those pupils to whom art will be just a hobby or pastime after graduation will find invaluable the fine art foundation given to them in high school. The high school library enjoyed an especially active year. The two librarians, along with ten stu- dent aides, were kept busy by pupils and veterans who needed good books and source material. Besides being visited by entire classes and housing an extensive photography exhibit, the library circu- lated on the average of two hundred books a day. Long past are the days when learning to parse and conjugate were considered the main accom- plishments of the English Department. This year English teachers stressed the importance of correct usage of the English language as well as the appre- ciation of the world's fine English literature. Emphasis was placed on the career the pupil intends to pursue in the future. The English Department has tried to equip students with such powerful weapons MUSIC DEPARTMENT Left to Right: Leon R.
