Catherine Mooney Barrows, formerly of the Commercial Department, who had sought a leave of absence May 1, 1941, later resigned her post. Mrs. Barrows is now a secr etary at Camp Rucker, Ozark, Alabama. We hope t hat she still possesses the willing spirit and outstanding ability which marked her teaching days with us. Donald H. Fogg has entered the service of his country, and is now sta­ tioned at Fort Blanding, F lorida, where he has recently received his com­ mission as captain in the United States Army. To him we wish all good fortune and continued success. E. P aul Gauthiel', an active leader who participated in and guided many of the school organizations, is now at Worcester Academy. There he is enjoying a continuation of the excellent reputation established at Chelmsford High School as a teacher and friend.
