WELLER........................Teacher of Latin and History KATHARINE BROW N.................................Teacher of English CAROLINE F. BARXES................Teacher of Mathematics and French JOHN A. BEERS Prof. John A. Beers, who so capably filled the position of Vice-Principal of this school from 1901-1909, began his education at Candor High School of Pennsylvania. He was graduated from this school in June, 1895. From here he entered the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute and was graduated, as valedictorian, in 1897. Desiring to become more proficient in his chosen work, he entered the Syracuse University in the fall of 1897, from which institution he was graduated in 1901 with election to the Phi Beta Kappa. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was later conferred upon him, Magna Cum Laude. In 1901 he came to the W. H. S. as Vice-Principal and teacher of Latin and German. He has for several years been manager of track and baseball teams. In recognition of his past services, he was elected Principal, which office he has most efficiently and faithfully filled. By his untiring efforts in behalf of the best interests of the school he has won the esteem of all the students, who wish him many successful years in W. H. S. L. K.. TO. FRED S. ROGERS To me has been assigned the pleasant task of writing a short sketch of our esteemed Vice-Principal, Fred S. Rogers. Mr. Rogers is a native of Alfred, his early education being attained at Alfred High School. His college life was spent at Alfred University, from which he was graduated in June, 1909, with the degree of Bachelor of Sciences. Last fall he accepted the position of teacher of sciences, which position he has since faithfully and ably filled. Less than a year ago he came to us a stranger, but has gained many warm friends, for he has been to us a friend and a helper. As manager and coach of the High School track team, he has helped to further the attainments of the school in athletics. He does not expect to be with us another year, but will certainly be sure of the best wishes, in any future undertaking, of his many friends, not only in the school but among the citizens of our village as well.
