'Know Your Principals' Featured on Front Page of Crimson Crier 37 Years Ago This Week

Let's take a trip back 37 years this week and see what was making front-page news from the Crimson Crier, Andrew Warde High School's student newspaper, March 5, 1976:

"This year we have two new people to run Andrew Warde. Most of us have heard of them, but how many of us have met them? Not many of us have, and for the purpose of giving them a formal introduction, the Crier hails Mr. Shine and Mr. Genualdi.


"Mr. Robert Shine was born in New Haven in 1944. He went to a private high school and, as the fifth of seven college-bound brothers and sisters, he was expected to go to college. He did so at Fairfield University. For four years he studied history and, finding school to his liking, he stayed on to get an M.A. in education. It was while he was at the university as a practice teacher that Mr. Shine got 'turned on to teaching.'"

If you'd like to read more about Mr. Shine and peruse the entire copy of the March 5, 1976, edition of the Crimson Crier, simply click the link at the beginning of the article or the cartoon above.
