Q1 ft fc + IQ C. E. HINSHAW Principal Kokomo High School is especially fortunate to have as its principal, Mr. Hinshaw, a man with high ideals and with a keen understanding of the problems that confront high school students. Mr. Hinshaw attended Westfield High School from which he was grad- uated. In 1910 he received his A. B. degree from Indiana University. He did graduate work at Indiana University and Chicago University. In 1922 Mr. Hinshaw received his lV1aster's degree from Columbia University. As a teacher Mr. Hinshaw gained his first experience in the district schools near Westfield, his home town. Later he taught for two years in the grade schools in Westfield and then he accepted a position as mathematics teacher in the Westfield High School. After leaving Westfield, Mr. Hinshaw moved to Princeton, Indiana, where he was principal of the high school for one year. Immediately following this, Mr. Hinshaw was assistant principal of the high school in Huntington, Indiana. He served in this capacity for two years, when he was appointed principal, succeeding E. O. Maple. Two years later Mr. Hinshaw came to Kokomo to accept the position which he now holds. As this was in 1915, the year when our present high school building was completed, Mr. Hinshaw has been the only principal in this building. Incidentally, as Principal of Kokomo High School, Mr. Hinshaw again suc- ceeded E. O. Maple. As head of our school Mr. Hinshaw has been a decided success. This success has been due not only to his skill and tact but also to his wonderful personality. He has a cheering word for pupils and teachers alike, and he is just in his dealings with both. As adviser of the Student Council, Mr. Hinshaw has aided the Council in enacting many rules and regulations which have been a great help to the student body. oc s1 I131

'3'3. -f-': super'ntendent C. V. Haworth. Mr. Haworth is a graduate of the New London High'School. He attended Indiana State Normal and later Indiana g4xf .fff-I--5 Universfty, from which he received his A. B. and A. M. degrees. N. Porcupine School in the west end of Howard County was the school in g.N,, - which Mr. Haworth began h.s career as a teacher. Upon leaving there he taught in the schools in New London. Later he was an instructor of history in the Danville High School and then in the Anderson High School. Mr. Haworth first became known in Kokomo as a teacher in the fourth if-1-11.-ff .QQg553'.,' ward school. He also served for some years as principal of the high school. E ,V,. In 1913 Mr. Haworth accepted his present position as superintendent of the .'- .I Kokcmo Public Schools. When Mr. Haworth became superintendent there were only five hundred students in the high school. We now have twelve hundred, our total enroll- rv- .-,-, 1 ggi.. S'-Z' ment having more than doubled in the last fourteen years. In 1921 a survey 1 4,-- of the educational institutions of the state was made. When the results were 1- tabulated it was found that the Kokomo Public Schools stood far above the average for the town schools and city schools of the state. To this success, ,-,-.-. .. credit must be given to Mr. Haworth and to his faithful performance of duty. Most of the students of the high school do not come in contact with Mr. Haworth so often as they do their teachers and their principal: nevertheless the majority of them are acquainted with him as he has had supervision of their school lives from the time they were l B's in the grade schools. During '1:-.'-'.1':. this time they have learned to respect him and to honor his decisions in matters that concern them. . 1. .., ,A t . .. . ,s U21 L4 1
