PCHWYRRS TTL4TfBEI I i M.s.MAHAN GLENN M. CURTIS 'P i Mr. Mahan has been superintendent of the Martinsville schools for the past twelve years. Under his guidance the high school has grown from an enroll- ment of 313 to the present enrollment of 798. In order to make school life more interesting to all types of students, Mr. Mahan has brought about the addition of several new departments. Mr. Mahan is an excellent econo- mizer. In these years of financial dis- tress he has safely carried us through. Many students do not realize thc amount of fighting, planning, and scheming which has been necessary to maintain -the high rating of the school. Mr. Mahan has been a real asset to the school system as a whole, and the students of Martinsville High School are greatly indebted to him for many of the scholastic opportunities that are open to them today. This year marks Mr. Curtis's thir- teenth year in the Martinsville schools, and this is his fourth year as principal at M. H. S. During the thir- teen years he has been connected with the schools he has each year success- fully coached a basketball team. In fact, he now has the distinction of being the only coach credited with four Hoosier hardwood titles. His team won at Lebanon in 1918 and here in 1924 and 1927 before capturing this year's state victory. Mr. Curtis is greatly loved by every student as well as by faculty mem- bers. He has a winning smile and a sympathetic disposition which go far in making his close, daily contact with student life a success. Disciplining is necessary in many cases, of course, but he serves his doses with a. smile, which is no doubt the most effective method after all. This factor also often reduces the mental acuteness ot' the punishment which must necessar- ily be administered by him at times. Every student relies upon Mr. Curtis as a principal, a basketball coach, and a real friend. This page through courtesy of 1. J. Newberry 5-10-25c Store
