Vedagogically Speaking It seems fitting and proper that we should stop a moment or two in our mad rush, as this, our Senior year, draws to a close, to think of those men and women who have pulled us through these three momentous years of our life. Although we like to think of ourselves as the backbone of the school, we must admit truthfully that there would be no school without our faculty. The war has hit not only our student manpower but also the power of the teachers. No longer can they pin down some handsome Wellesley High man for being seen on Cause¬ way Street during school hours, for he will, without a doubt, answer proudly, ’Tm in the V-3 now.” Many boys have left and so have a number of our illustrious teachers, we’re sorry to say. Our handsome superintendent, Mr. Pierce, is now working for the Air Corps and ’’The Boss” is now on the payroll ofUncle Sam as a Lieutenant (jg). In their stead we welcome Mr. Scully, our new superintendent, and wish him happiness in Wellesley. Our chemist, Mr. Bragdon, is now in Mr. Gaige’s swivel chair with Miss Bronson at his right hand. Good luck, you two! Mr. Pulver, our Frenchie, is also gone, and is now instructing Exeter boys. The keeper of the books, Miss Bishop, is now residing in Reading. Greet¬ ings, Miss Loomer, we’ll try to behave for you also. There are also new and tantalizing smells in ye ole cooking room for there’s a new teacher with new ideas, Miss Fifield. Miss Worthington has departed from our midst for the Red Cross Nutrition Corps. Before we close we would like to extend the warm and heartfelt thanks of all the seniors to Mr. Mathers, our Senior Advisor. We also deeply thank Miss Parker, Miss Guild, Miss Celeste, Mr. Jewell, and Mr. Mathers for all their work on our yearbook. We’re graduating now and we’re truly sorry to go, although we’ve often wished that we were out and gone. But thanks to you for all your interest in us. We’ll be back some day. We hope you’ll still be here.
