Our high school vice-principal in 1960 was Mr. Robert L. Littlefield, who also taught Geometry. Mr. Littlefield was first elected as a teacher of mathematics and science at Gardner High School in 1926. In 1939 he was named vice principal, a position he held until his retirement. Prior to coming to Gardner, Mr. Littlefield served one year as a teacher in Worcester and two years as a teacher at Colebrook High School in New Hampshire. Mr. Littlefield was a graduate of Wells High School and the University of Maine. He received his Masters in Education at the University of New Hampshire and completed post-graduate work at Boston University, Harvard University, and Fitchburg State College. Mr. Littlefield retired in 1966, concluding 43 years as an educator, with forty of those years spent in Gardner. Mr. Littlefield died in Gardner on May 27, 1983. He was 82 years old.
