In Memory of Our Late Principal Mr. 0. B. Hayward, principal of our school for the past eleven years, was a man who strove to apply a constructive philosophy of education to the fulfillment of his duty. Through his meticulous regulation of school policy, he created the enviornment which he felt would afford every stu¬ dent the best possible start in education. He placed scholarship at the top of his scale of values, but never slighted the character and personality¬ building experience of extra-curricular activities. Although his tenure on earth has ended, his memory will be preserved, not only in the educational program he helped develop, but in the minds and hearts of all who knew him: friends, parents, teachers, and the thou¬ sands of students for whose educational development he was responsible. To these his life was dedicated, to these his death brought sorrow.
