STOCKARD Supervisor of High School Instruction UR ANNUAL recognition of the administration would not be complete should We fail to recount the changes that have taken place in it during the past year. Two of the three of last year's group are still members, but each occupies a different position. Dr. F. Kimball, former superintendent, resigned, and the position Was given to Dr. Norman R. Crozier, former assistant superintendent, the position made vacant by Dr. Crozier's advancement Was given to Mr. E. B. Cauthorn, former superintendent of high school instruction, the position made vacant by Mr. Cauthornis promotion Was, in turn, given to Mr. L. V. Stockard, former principal of Bryan Street High School. We deeply regret the loss of' Dr. Kimball from the field of high school activity. Because of his sterling qualities of mind and character, he had endeared himself to us, hence, as a man and as an educator, We greatly miss him. But our loss was com pensated by an equal gain, and We consider ourselves very fortunate indeed, for in Dr. Crozier, We have found the same admirable qualities which characterized Dr. Kim ball and made possible his wonderful achievements. A To the administration and to the new School Board, we Wish to express our sin cere appreciation for all their efforts in our behalf during the year that has passed. May our earnest efforts and the accomplishments in the coming year prove our gratitude. V 1 III UI I LID Page Fifteen Ifl
