. 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

ENGLISH With nouns, pronouns, verbs, and the rest of the eight parts of speech, as with bricks and mortar, the Junior High students begin to lay the foundation of their language and sentences and para' graphs which later develop into themes. Great is the joy when it is duly an' nounced that short pilgrimages in literaf ture will be taken for a few days, from which they return greatly refreshed. And then, when it is revealed that speech and speaking will be advanced, glee reigns supreme, for these pupils greatly enjoy their Hrst attempts at debating and public speaking. Then these students enter the ninth grade with a great sense of pride and dignity and lay down their constructive tools at regular intervals to take longer and more extensive tours in Greece with Odysseus, in Rome with Caesar, and in England with Silas Marner and Ivanhoe. And what thrills are offered on a long voyage with the old and modern poets, and with famous essayists. After three years of labor, mingled continually with pleasures, it is crowned by a final trip lasting one whole year, taking the traveler all over England in the study of English literature and history. And then it is with great satisfaction and pride that the students who have persisted look back upon their completed pilgrimage. Offered in the English Course under a separate heading are the speech and def bating classes. Dramatics is also under the direction of the English department, and it is under this heading that plays and the dramatics for the operetta, which is produced every two years, come.
