That is known when a person starts to workg but in the beginning, the end seems far away, and the beginning, at the end, seems like only yesterday.

His school day was not controlled by the clock, and long after lights had been turned out in classrooms, and teachers and students had gone from the building, the light in his office burned on. On lanuary 23 he stepped down from his position as high school principal, leaving a va- cancy in the hearts of students and faculty, for he was a man whom all could call friend.
