GUUDBYE T0 Miss Florence Paine retires this year after teaching in the Science Department of Stamford High School for the last thirty years. An intelligent and inspiring individual, both in the class- room and in private life, Miss Paine has voiced faith in the youth of today. If you recognize the good within a student and offer him encouragement, his chances of potential development are greatly increased. For making this philosophy a part of her career, we thank Miss Paine and wish her future happiness. Miss Julia Bibiana Stark, one of Stamford High's best known teachers, retires this June. Miss Stark has been a Latin teacher in the Stamford school system since 1920. ln her forty years of in- struction she has vitalized Latin for hundreds of students. She has been the sponsor of the Junior Classical League where she has striven to enrich the study of the ancient language. We, the Class of 1960, wish Miss Stark much happiness as we say fare- well to a warmhearted individual and dedicated teacher.

47 .J l X . FA REWELL MRS. BUHN Mrs. Louisa H. Bohn, Dean of Girls, retires this year from Stamford High School with a record of extraordinary achievement. She has symbolized all that is at once iust yet merciful, scrupulous yet kind. Her office has been in the literal and figurative sense, the heart of the school. From here emanated the vitality and love which kept this great organism from becoming iust so many cement stones and pieces of wood. With incredible insight and perception she has handled the conflicting prob- lems of youth, smoothing out the tangled emotions and establishing order from confusion and disappointment. Her guidance at meetings and activities was con- stant assurance of absolute fairness and genuine interest. Mrs. Bohn has made her presence so integral a part of Stamford High, that it is difficult to think of the school without her. Reviewing the past, she says in her own words, Every minute has been pure joy, Contemplating the future, we say in the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. vi ga N
