. f-li' i Henry D. MacNaughton, principal of Gttawa Hills, attended Western State Teachers' College, the University of Michigan, and Columbia University, from which schools he received his life certificate, A.B. degree, and M.A. degree. A As a result of his meritorious service in the World War, Captain MacNaughton, who was at that time affiliated with the Tennessee National Guard, was rewarded with the Croix de Guerre, a presentation of the French government, and the Disf tinguished Service Cross, the United States' war honor. Mr. MacNaughton's thorough understanding of boys and girls may be atf tributed to the fact that he is the father of three girls. Zelda, the oldest, is a senior at the University of Michigan. Jean is a junior at the U. of M., while Kathryn is a member of Central's senior class. According to Mrs. MacNaughton, who has spoken twice for the annual All Girls' Banquet and is much loved by all the girls, her husband's main hobby is children. Second to this he ranks soldiering. At present he is captain in the 126th Infantry of the Michigan National Guard, and every summer he goes to Grayling with the Grand Rapids Unit. Publicity is his pet aversion. He is very fond of art, good pictures, good literature, and good music, but he dislikes jazz. , X . T J XF Pane Twenty
