W. E. WATTERS, principal Hiram College-B.A. Kent State University-M.A. Mr. Watters has spent ten of his twelve years in the Ravenna school system as principal of the high school. His helpful interest and guidance enabled us to suc- cessfully fill a school year with scholastic and social activities and achievements. Before coming to Ravenna he spent four years in the county schools, three of them as principal of Streetsboro. He also taught one year in Trumbull County. One of the chief obligations of any school citizen today is that of finding the way in which he can contribute most -effectively to the preservation and improvement of democracy. Free schools are a product of the democratic outlookg in turn it must nurture that philosophy. says Mr. Watters. :ic :i: :lc f Ravenna Board of Education The Board of Education has many duties that most of us know nothing about.
