Dr. Carl M. Bair Jr. We of the Senior Class of 1955 feel very fortunate in being the first senior class to graduate under Dr. Bair. Dr. Bair was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and received Elementary Education in South Dakota. He attended New Jersey State Teachers College, Trenton, New Jersey and received his B. S. degree there. He attended the University of Connecticut and was awarded his masters there. He received his Doctor- ate in Education from Harvard Graduate School. Dr. Bair has been ateacher and a coach at Neptune Ridgewood, New Jersey. He was principal of the Littleton, Massachusetts High School. He has been a superintendent in the State Education Depart- ment of Connecticut. It was from this position as Superintendent of Schools in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, that Dr, Bair came to Vestal. During World War II Dr. Bair served in the Submarine Service. He is married and the father of three daughters. Carol, the eldest, is married and is living in New Hampshire, Janet is working as a secretary in a local business firm and Bette is a student in the 10th grade at Vestal. Dr. Bair issued this statement to the class for publication in this book: Few classes in any school are blessed with as many dynamic leaders as our class of '55. It is a class loaded with talent, the will to work, and humor. It's members will strengthen our democracy, our churches, and our business. In short they are wonderful 'kids. ' Frankly, I am going to miss my beloved 'pests. ' Carl M. Bair, Jr.

If anyone ventures to Room 102, the Guidance Room, he'll find six adults very willing to help him all they can. Head of the Guidance Department is Mr. Paul Gimmie who has been in the department for years. Senior boys' counselor is Mr. Bundy who has been guiding students for two years. Mr. Stewart Jones has been with the Guidance Department for one year. A newcomer this year and senior girls' counselor is Mrs. Leona MacLowry. She is only a part-time counselor along with Miss Anna Strong and Mrs. Doris Roney. Sec- retary to these guidance counselors is Mrs. Virginia Hammer. Without their help we are sure many of the students couldn't have gotten through our school years. Our hats are off to the Guidance Department of VCS.
