+. M. Gus u -1nryessuuy, O.Ilo,
has started his thirty-frst year as
superintendent of the Willoughby
schools.
Unusual in itself is his lengthy
service, but Otis has overcome a
physical handicap that threatened
the end of his teaching career.
Last year Otis had his larynx re-
moved. The operation deprived him
of use of his vocal chords and made
breathing possible only through a
small hole in his throat.
Undiscouraged, Otis learned to
talk through an accomplishment
rare in medical circles. He talks
now by drawing air into his body
and expelling it through his throat
by use of his diaphragm-at the
same time forming the words with
his lips and teeth.
