SUPERINTENDENTS 1.. A. WALKICR Mr. Walker has been our very capable superintendent since 1927. longer than any other incumbent. As superintendent, he is the head of the entire school and leader of all educational features in the community. Much of his time is spent in supervising the work done by the teachers. He recommends teachers for employment and aids the Board of Education in establishing school principles. ln his work the superintendent comes up against many problems. both large and small. He must see that good public relationships are established between the school and the community, and must be able to keep the faculty in a spirit of co- operation. toward himself as well as toward each other. Being superintendent is no easy job as Mr. Walker will testify. Superintendents of Swanton schools have been: Frank Templeton. l887g W. gi. Scott. 18883 H. A. Jones. 1880-90: W. W. Geer. 1891-973 Cains Henry. 12-107-911: J. EQ. Hutchison. 1398-1901g C. 0. Castle. 1900-13: L. W. Bates. 1913-22g W. A. Salter, 1922-273 and L. A. Walker. 1927 to the present time.

PRINCIPALS H. C. RUNNELS l will send you to the principal's office. is often the threat heard hy a student. The principal's job is too frequently thought of only as that of a disci- plinarian. Few people realize how important this busy man is. Some ol' the men who have held this thankless position in Swanton High School are: W. A. Scott. Sebastian Mauchley. N. B. Ceer. C. 0. Castle. E. li. Thomas. C. V. Pfaffman. L. W. Bates. W. L. Bruchlman. W. L. Brown. W. lf. Simms. Allan Trumbull, Helen Fisher. the only woman: V. S. Uougan. Thomas l.. Parlter. L. ll. llurgoon. L. A. Walker. K. H. Zartman. lfrank Prouty. Howard iloggc. and our present principal. li. G. Hunnels. Keeping yearly and monthly reports on attendance of every student. and arranging a well-balanced school calendar of activities are part of his job. When school starts in the fall. eacti student knows where to go and what class he is in. l'his is the task of the principal. who has spent hours making out a schedule. tfle presides over teachcr's meetings. disciplines the high school. co-sponsors the school paper. the High-Life. supervises enrollment of students and extra-cur- ricular activities. This man often directs the future of the student for he con- tacts colleges. recommends courses you are most suited for and fills out many sheets ol' information necessary for college entrance. In recent years the principal has been Athletic Manager. Here again are more duties: such as. being the head of the high school athletic association. hiring athletic officials for the games. making out schedules for football. basketball and baseball. as well as being time keeper at these exhibitions. Purchasing necessary equipment. checking elegibility of players and supervising of transportation to various contests add more labor. We owe more than most realize to these men who during the past 50 years have given counsel and encouragement to each high school student at some crucial time in his lifc. Let's all give them a good pat on the back for a job well dsne. 1127
