The term papers I did in Mr. Kittridge's U.S. History class at Bogan H. S. served me well in high school as well as college. One College English teacher dared us to bring in a high school paper good enough to fulfill his college requirement. My two papers from Mr. Kittridge's class got me out of those college papers. The teacher said that that was the first time he had ever seen such good papers.
Of course, it was Mr. Kittridge's method and guidance that helped us learn so well.
Bogan had the greatest teachers in the 60's and 70's.
It was a true honor to be his student.

Mr. Kittridge's love of teaching history was evident in each and every class that I was privileged to take with him. He inspired me to teach history and for that I will always be grateful. Bogan Class of '70

Many years were spent working with Mr. Kittridge at Bogan H.S. He worked as an Assistant Principal, a strict disciplinarian and I enjoyed him as a good friend. God's blessings on him and his family.
