num MATT O. HANHILA - A PLAYER OF MANY PARTS Carl Hayden High's first principal was born September 23, 1909 in Varsa, Finland. He came to the United States with his family at the age of four, in 1913. He graduated from high school in Chisholm, Minnesota as salutatorian of his class in 1927. High school was the beginning of active participation in many diverse areas including dramatics, music, intramural swimming, and gymnastics. After high school, he attended Michigan Tech where he studied engineering for two years. Once again Mr. Hanhila pursued his many interests by taking part in basketball, music, track, the all school play, and the Golden Gloves Tournament. He enrolled in Arizona State College at Flagstaff and graduated in 1932, again salutatorian. There he added journalism to his long list of activities and became Business Manager, then Editor of the ASC yearbook. Mr. Hanhila holds a Master of Arts Degree from the University of Arizona, and is presently enrolled at Arizona State University where he is working on his doctorate. Mr. Hanhila began his teaching career in the fall of 1932 at Mohave County Union High School. During the ensuing 21 years he served respec- tively as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, and Superintendent of Schools in Mohave County. In 1953 he moved to Phoenix to accept the principalship at Phoenix South Mountain High School, a position he held for four years. In 1958 Mr. Hanhila became principal of the newly constructed Carl Hayden High School. A past President of the State Coaches Association, the State Principals Association, and the State Administrators Association, and an active mem- ber ofthe Phoenix Rotary Club, Mr. Hanhila is still the man of many interests that he was in his high school and college years. Our principal's congenial smile and greeting are direct products of his personal philosophy . . . I try to find something good in every person I meet and in everything that happens to me. Anyone who is familiar with the outstanding service and achievements of our principal will nat fail to see why this second volume of the Carl Hayden Statesman is dedicated to Matt 0. Hanhila . . . A man of many interests, a player of many parts.
