This year marks the termination of Lowell Innes's notable career as an educator and administrator at Shady Side Academy. A teacher for forty years and headmaster for two years, Mr. Innes has also placed many Shady Side students in college. Known for his green book bag, a warm, toothy smile, and a Maine accent, he will retire this year to his home in Saco, Maine. Mr. Innes had been a contributing factor in the intellectual and material growth of Shady Side Academy over the years and will be missed by the teachers, students, and alumni of Shady Side.
Also this is the third year of fine service rendered to S.S.A. by Arthur Mann. Coming to Shady Side in 1956, Mr. Mann soon achieved the position of assistant headmaster and this year has placed his first Shady Side class in college. As college counselor, leader of the St. Andrew's discussion group, and teacher of fifth and sixth form English, Mr. Mann is doing a herculean task for the school. Despite his short length of service at Shady Side, Mr. Mann had become a trusted friend of students and faculty.
The 1960 ACADEMIAN is dedicated to these two men who have served Shady Side and her students well.
