Friends of Former Registrar Honor Him at Sanitarium In appreciation of toe great work of Harry Clifton, former P.H.S. registrar, in bringing 17 huge record books out of chaos, Albert P. Meub, commerce teacher', has lettered a parchment containing names of Mr. Clifton’s faculty friends. This parchment is to be framed and presented to the former registrar at the Monrovia 'sanitarium. “As truly as any soldier has given his life for his country, so Mr. Clifton has given his for love of P. H. S.,” states Mrs. Helen Stone, chairman of Oral Arts Com¬ mittee. For- toe 18 years of his work here, Mr. Clifton worked day and night, winter a.nd summer, without a vacation. After the record books were at last put in some degree of order, his health broke down, making his four years at the sani¬ tarium necessary.
