Aubrey Gray Tuggle 1933-1978

The 1978 Corinthian is dedicated to

Mr. Aubrey Gray Tuggle whose time, efforts

and personal dedication were largely respon·

sib le for the extraordinary growth and develop­

ment of The Steward School. He served as a

member of the Board of Trustees for six years,

its president for two years. I n add ition,

he was the father of one of the members of the

class of 1977, the School 's first graduating

class. The School will always be indebted to

Mr. Tuggle for his leadership, wise counsel

and his be lief in the importance of the School

itself.

Paul R. Cramer Headmaster

Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, Mr. Cramer was educated in Amherst public schools and attended Deerfield Academy. After high school, he rece ived a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wi ll iams College in Will iamstown, Massachusetts, then his Master 's of Educa tion from Springfield College.

He began hi s teaching ca reer at the University School in Shaker Heights, Ohio where he taught French and Engli sh. He also taught French and Eng lish at his alma mater, Deerfield Academy. Mr. Cramer was associate headmaster at Wilbraham and Monson Academy, and he then became our headmaster at The Steward School.

No one in the past ha s helped the school grow both academically and structura lly the way he has.

Mr. David Trimble, Admini strative Assistant, graduated from Suffolk University with a

Bachelor of Arts degree. Before beginning work here at Steward in 1975, Mr. Trimble worked on

the faculty of the Windhendon School, and was a teacher and coach at Augusta Military Academy.

He also worked at Keene State College, and served as Dean of Students at the New

Community School. We are proud to have Mr. Trimble as a member

of the school facu lty . In these past four years, he ha s served as a teacher of American History,

Government, and has served as Mr. Cramer's right-hand.

Th is past year, Mr. Trimble helped to set up ath let ic programs in the areas of weightl ift ing,

fencing, and tennis. We will always remember his devotion to the overall growth of the school.

Mrs. Carolyn Hyde Life Science

During the Alternate Program, I had a rockets class. The f irst part of the second week it rained. The day finally came when the sky cleared . As I ran out on the soccer field after the boys, I felt myself si nking. My shoes became stuck and I tried to get them out, but they stayed in the mud and only my feet ca me out. By hand, I got my shoes out and walked back to the bui lding ba refooted .

Seniors

Bruce is late for cla ss again.

Bruce finds Mr. Wagner 's advice humorous.

As my senior yea r at Steward School comes to an end, the true purpose of a high school educat ion has finally

become dear to me. If I cou ld live through Public Speaking, Pig Dissection, and so many "unsuccessfu l"

art projects, I ca n live through anything.

and infinite in quantity."

If I trul y love one person, I love all persons, I love the world, I love life.

If I ca n say to somebody else, " I love you, " I must be able to say, " I love in you everybody,

I love through you the world , I love in you also myself." Erich Fromm
