V THE T RIUMVIRATE E. T. Austin, Principal Kate M. Stoddard, Assistant Principal Maine Foe, Secretary Among Hthose in authorityl' the most exalted rulers of this high order, Mr. Austin, Miss Stoddard, and Mrs. Coe, form the powerful Triumvirate. In their hands is the invisible badge of otticefthe scepter. Air. Austin is one of the rare species, genus regisf' A more kingly bearing never rested on the shoulders of man. Then there are those trivial duties which a man of his stamp is often called upon to exercise. His signature must be affixed to all absence excuses ere the bearer may be admitted to his classes. To him falls the task of admonishing all slightly refractory Freshmen and more refractory Juniors. Occasionally he favors the rabble in the large assembly with words of weal or woe as the occasion may de111and and often commends the II101'8 elite Senior class in like popular addresses. Scarcely another receives and merits as much respect our worthy Principal. hliss Stoddard is one who well deserves the name of a good sportf' Her domain is the land of Mathematics, over which she rules both wisely and well. Nlany who have in a 11l0Il1G1'1l7 of folly entered upon Solid Geometry or Advanced Algebra know her untiring efforts to get them through, yet in the midst of her many duties she always has time to help some bewildered Freshman find his class, or urge the rank and file to Be prompt, please! Most memorable of her maxims are those imaginary ones hung upon the walls of the Mathematics room: HMake Haste Slowly, and t'Factors, Not Termsf' Mrs. Coe holds guard over the office, and not even Mr. Austin easily disputes her authority therc. To her falls the task of keeping our scholastic records and of acting as recording secretary to the Board of Education. She also has charge of the library books with each of which she gives out a word ot' advice. Many, there have been who, upon returning an over-due book, have had a choice bit of reprimand impressed upon them. She has been made a vendor of sundry articles, including candy, tickets, and celery and is now considering setting up a meat shop. With this slight introduction we present our Triumvirate. D. W., '27, 1927 17
