  • Printed in the yearbook as: Mr. Clendenning
  • Yearbook entry: He has served as the Vice-Principal and head of the math department at Lakeview since its opening five years ago. He is departing to become the inaugural principal of the new Hammarskjold High vocational school.[3]
  • Named in the write-up "Can You Imagine . . . . .": A humorous list of unlikely scenarios involving various faculty members, such as teachers having tidy desks, changing their appearance, or teaching subjects outside their expertise.[4]

Notes

The yearbook prints only the surname, as Mr. Clendenning. He is identified with G. Leonard Clendenning, the Board of Education teacher listed at 154 High Street North in 1950 (a probable match: a rare surname and the same school board).
