Book Description

Excerpt from The Chameleon, 1926, Vol. 5 With the close of the school year 1925-1926, the Belmont High School suffers a severe, if not irreparable, loss in losing the services of Felix V. Cutler, a member of its faculty. In addition to his commendable services as an instructor, Mr. Cutler, during his five years in this school, has admirably discharged his duties as Faculty Member Of the Athletic Association, and as the coach of hockey. Not only has he removed the heavy debt which existed when he assumed the former position, but he has equipped the various teams more liberally than ever before, and while in the latter capacity he has produced teams far above the average. But above all this, his reputation for integrity, his influence upon the students as a man of silent strength and unassuming manner, will make his loss keenly felt. So, wherever he goes or whatever he attempts, the Class of '26 wishes him success, never doubting but that it will be the inevitable product Of his sterling qualities. Despite the universal cry that athletics are being over-emphasized in the secondary schools and colleges to the detriment of scholarship, Belmont High School attributes considerable credit to its athletic standards as a stimulus to good scholarship. By rigid physical examination and gym nasties only the physically competent may join the teams, while our strict eligibility rules allow only the mentally alert to compete. Furthermore, it is the Opinion Of several teachers that these strict requirements tend to raise, rather than lower, the scholarship of the students during the playing season.
