07 X gf lj ailnlllnlla E? Albert Schwartz T is indeed appropriate that honor should be paid to Mr. Schwartz for the exceptional services he has rendered to night school education. The story of East Night is largely the story of Mr. Schwartz. We, accordingly, record here the story of the man, who by his indomitable will has made a deep impression upon the students of East Night. Mr. Schwartz was born in Cincinnati, January 14th, 1876. He at- tended the Cincinnati schools and graduated in 1894 from Hughes High School, then conducted at Fifth and Mound Streets. Later he attended the University of Cincinnati, Miami University, and the University of Chicago. He received his B. A. and M. A. degrees from the University of Cincinnati. In 1898 he was appointed teacher at the 14th District School, now the Sands' School. Next he went to the 4th Intermediate School, the present Bloom Junior High School. In 1905 he was made assistant prin- cipal of the 20th District School, and in 1906 went to the 16th District School, now the Mt. Auburn school, as assistant principal. In 1907 he was appointed principal of the Linwood School where he remained until 1913, when he became principal of the Cummins School, of which school he is still principal. The night school record of Mr. Schwartz is as follows: In 1904 he began teaching in the old Hughes High School at 5th and Mound. Previous to this no day teacher ever taught in the night school. In September, 1905, he became principal of the night school held at the Fourth Intermediate School. The next year, 1906, he was appointed as assistant principal at East Night High. In February, 1908, Mr. Schwartz became principal of East Night, where he remained until his resignation in 1929. East Night, in 1908 was held in the school located on the south side of Ninth Street, between Main and Walnut. The enrollment was 300. In September of the same year the enrollment was increased to 1200, and the school moved into the Peaslee School building. The exhaustless energy of Mr. Schwartz was responsible for this great increase. In 1910, because of further increase in the enrollment, East Night moved into the new Woodward High School building with an enrollment of 3500. In 1910-11 an enrollment of 4500 made it necessary to use Peaslee building as a colony. This wonderful growth of East Night from a school of 300 to one of 4500 attests the remarkable organizing ability of Mr. Schwartz. A man of untiring energy, inspired by a desire to make East Night one of the lead- ing high schools in America, Mr. Schwartz gave the utmost of his physical and mental vigor to this great task. He met with eminent success, and thousands of young men and women are today proud that they are gradu- ates of East Night. To Mr. Schwartz they render honor for his untiring efforts in their behalf and for his loyal spirit of devotion to the cause of night school education. -A. F. Steltenlcamp ff KDX ll. .
