-..-.-.......---.,-..-.--U CLASS OF 1940 ------------0-----0--' Mr. William Gallagher has been at Waltham High since 1936. He is a graduate of Boston College, where he received his A. B. degree. specializing in Latin and history, both modern and ancient. He is now attending Harvard Graduate School. and is working for an Ed.M. degree, majoring in Secondary School Administration. He has always been Special Advisor to the Sophomore College Course, and now in addition is Freshman Class Advisor. He is also actively engaged as Faculty Manager of the tennis team. Mr. Francis Sheehy came to Waltham High in 1928. I-le is an alumnus of Dartmouth College. where he was greatly interested in biology and economics. Although studies occupied much of his time he still found the opportunity to captain both the hockey and golf teams. His prohciency in the latter sport especially is indicated today by the consistently low scores he makes on even tough courses. Three years ago, in 1937, he was made advisor to the junior class, whose members marvel much at his intimate knowledge of biology and their own mental processes. Mr. Ralph Hollis, popularly known as The Keeper of the Keys , was elected to the teaching staff of the High School in 1924. He is a grad- uate of Thayer Academy and Boston University, where he specialized in physics. For eight years, from 1924 to 1932 he served as junior Class Advisor, and for the last eight years as Advisor for the Sophomore Class. His hobby is in connection with amateur radio, and for several years he conducted a radio club in the school. As every student in the school knows, Mr. Hollis holds the key to many and many a sit- uation, and whether it is helping some unfortunate fellow get his locker open, or guiding an indi- vidual or a class along the best path, he always seems to know the most satisfactory solution.
