nj 7f5 I'I0Lgg7z-I I SUPERINTENDENT F. 0. HOLT In Mr. Holt the Janesville Public Schools have the best friend they could have. There is, in him, a constant striving to every year do more for the schools than he has done before, an-d it seems that he has attained this when one looks back at his record. He is a finished orator, and when he ap- pears before an audience, it is to the delight of that favored group. Mr. Holt is a true man in every sense of the word. Straightforward, reliable, friendly, opto- mistic, are only a few words to describe his char- acter. He is not thought of only as the super- intendent of our city schools, but also as one of Janesville's best citizens. However, it is unfair to present Mr. Holt in the light of a reformer, for he is not that species of animal. He appre- ciates clean speech and morals but -does not go about telling what should be done. He does it! And sets us in front of ourselves, as one might say, to review our faults. He is a Scotchman, which is a defect or a virtue as one regards it. At least his Scotch humor is always ready with a good anecdote for any and all occasions. His faults are excusable and his virtues are those of his sex. PRINCIPAL W. W. BROWN Mr. Brown could be called the cornerstone of Janesville High School. He was laid as head of the faculty shortly before our new High School building was completed. He has been in our midst ever since, and now when we think of J. H. S. we think of Mr. Brown. It is said that the best way to judge a man is by his works. A review of this kind is altogether beneficial to our revered principal. Under him J. H. S. has flourished and become a member of the front rank. In scholastics, we are far above the average, both in knowledge and initiative, in athletics, our teams are known and feared, our orators are little giantsg our Seniors are noted for their wisdom, and the undergraduates are al- soknown. Mr. Brown is behind the school in all things, taking an active part in most school ac- tivities. Judging from this evidence, it is safe to say that the students are well favored. -Moreover, our disciplinarian is a real man. He is an ex-doughboy, and in every day life is a standard of good-fellowship. Mr. Brown gives his unselfish cooperation to every good thing in the high school. Taken all in all, Mr. Brown is a real principal and a fine man. We appreciate him and gaze with pity on less favored high schools than we. Page Seventeen
