Twenty-nine years ago betook up his duties here as principal of the Academy. The school was very weak and run down, hut under Ids wise and able guidance it has gradually attained a prominent place among its sister High Schools. Prof Johnson is a man of strong character and resolute purpose. He has ever sought the advancement of the school and the uplifting of its students. He has an excellent knowledge of mathematics, and his ability to teach arithmetic and algebra has long been recognized. On account ot his mature age and long experience lie is especially qualified to have charge of a High School. G. M., bJ.

6 THE ORACLE. PROF. JOHN BEERS. Prof. John Beers, our Vice-Principal, hails from LeRaysville, Pa. He was graduated from Candor High School in’95 from which he went to Collegiate Institute, Towanda, Pa. He was graduated there in ’97 and then entered Syracuse University where lie pursued a classical course and graduated in ’01 with the highest honors. In September of that year became to Watkins High School and now has charge of classes in Foreign Languages and Geometry. Mr. Beers has demonstrated a thorough mastery of his subjects and by his interest and untiring industry, has been able to skillfully conduct his pupils over the stumbling blocks that have confronted them in their attempts to acquire a knowledge of foreign languages. He has taken a lively interest in athletics, having helped organize our efficient basket ball and base ball teams. Mr. Beers, during his stay among us. has won many warm friends who wish him the greatest success. L. W. F., ’03. MISS GAYLORD. Miss Carolyn B. Gaylord, Preceptress of Watkins High School and Patron Saint of the class of 1903, is now nearing the end of her fourth and last year with us. Throughout the whole of her work here, her success has been such as no other teacher has ever excelled. Possessed of an excellent college education, with the knowledge of how to use it to the best advantage, her efficiency in the class room has been well recognized from the first, while her sincere interest in all matters, literary, athletic and social, relating to the welfare and progress of the school, has won her a place among her pupils which few teachers are fortunate enough to attain. Sweet in disposition, tactful and becomingly dignified in manner, well-read and popular—surely an ideal teacher, did not circumstances fix her vocation otherwise. Until the past year, Miss Gaylord’s work in the High School has included both English and Scientific subjects; but last fall, much to her own delight and that of all so fortunate as to be pursuing any of the Sciences at that time, she was relieved of the work in English and left free to give her whole attention to the line of study of which she is so fond and in which she is so ably prepared to instruct. The regard in which Miss Gaylord is held by the members of the Senior Class was conclusively brought out when they conferred upon her the highest honor in their power, and with unanimous voice chose her as their Patron Saint—the first that Watkins High School 1ms ever known. Among all her friends, none can go beyond them in sincere respect and affection; and assheleaves us in response to a claim which we recognize as even stronger than our own. she is followed by the love and best wishes of the class of 1903. wherever her future course may lie. M. N. S., ’03.
