Dr. Milton W. Brown was born in West Salem, Wisconsin. In 1923 he received his B.S. at Knox College. After graduation he received a fellowship to Chicago Uni- versity, where he obtained an M.A. He then taught in Illinois for fifteen years before coming to Glen Ridge where he was superintendent of schools for four years. It was in 1946 that he first came to West Orange. It was also in this year that he received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Dr. Brown's ambition, as he stated it to us, is To do the best possible job I can in West Orange. Dr. Brown also said that West Orange is a growing community; and because of this fact, he is faced with many interesting and difficult problems. Travelling with his family to the Midwest is Dr. Brown's idea of an ideal vacation. His son Jimmy, a typical eleven year old boy, is a constant source of joy and companion- ship to his dad. Hunting and fishing, during his vacation or on rainy days, are Dr. Brown's main recreations. Having had Dr. Brown with us for over a year now, we are beginning to feel acquainted with him. He is extremely popular with the faculty, the members of the Board of Education, and the students. Through his addresses and frequent personal visits to the high school, Dr. Brown has endeared himself to the entire student body. It would also appear that West Orange has endeared itself to Dr. Brown; for he says, I like West Orange very much, and I think that it is the nicest place in which I've ever worked. Page 13

Raymond E. Hearn Information, please! Whose fa- vorite phrase is I do not intend to speak every week; this is your assembly ? You’ve guessed; it’s Mr. Hearn’s. However, no matter how many times he has spoken to us, he has always given us con- structive criticism and sound advice. Since Mr. Hearn came to us in 194 1 from Roosevelt Junior High, he has made himself known as our friend. Understanding and unprej- udiced, he appreciates our feeble attempts for nigher education and helps many of us to work out our pro •fdctns. He also believes in teach ng pupils to think for themselves so that they may be better prepared to live intelligently. Mr. Hearn has a number of in- terests, including music and golf, and seems to get much pleasure from life. More than just a prin cipal and adviser, he is a real friend to all of us—both teachers and students. For his kindly interest and wise guidance, wc, the class of '48. are thankful. Pjge 24
