Superintendent jack. M. Logun CAQKQVL 8144 0 As superintendent of Walterloo schools, Jack M. Logan has always shown the utmost confidence in the ability of American youth to forge ahead and accomplish what at first seemed almost impossible. Seeing unlimited potentialities in students, he in- spires them to strive to reach ever higher goals and to attempt to achieve success in whatever they undertake. Because of his stimulating confidence in them, East High students feel that they must prepare themselves to live constructively in today's world. Charles L. Hoffman, principal of East High, has helped to establish Fast High School as one of the most democratic student bodies in the country.
