Nixon, has wrought is no exception. Space does not permit a mere enumeration of the activi- ties on which has been left the indelible stamp of his personality and resourcefulness. Ably fit when he came to fill his administrative position at East, he continued his study until, in 1922, he was awarded the Alas- ter of Arts degree in education by the University of Chicago. Since that time honors in recognition of his ability and leadership have been numerous. At various times he has been president of the Fox River Valley School Aiasters, the Forensic League, which he organ- ized, the Athletic Conference, and of the Green Bay Teachers' Asso- ciation. He has served on important state educational committees, and has been a member of the faculty at Oshkosh and at Wliitewzitei' State Teachers' Colleges during summer sessions. Mr. Nixon's administrative work has been imposing. Alany innovations are credited to him, not a few of which have been adopted by other schools. Under his leadership East High has become out- standing and has blazed the trail to achievement. Anxious to stim- ulate a desire for superior scholarship and to reward work well done, he inaugurated Honor Assemblies and the Wlinners' Banquet, both of which are now institutions at East. Open House , perhaps destined to become a tradition, was Mr. Nixon's idea of acquainting the pub- lic with the work of his school. A worthy citizen, a conscientious, loyal, and faithful principal, Air. Nixon has won a host of friends. East is loath to see him go. As he leaves to work for his doctor's degree, alumni, student body, and faculty bid him God-speed and wish for him only the best. P.: Ii If 12
