During the past eight years, he has accomplished successfully his greatest task- reorganization of the school curriculum with the growth in school population. His efforts and keen desire to improve our school have made possible Towsonis rise to distinction. Miss Mary A. Litsinger, our new vice-principal, came to us via Sparks High and Towson junior High. Knowing many of the teachers and pupils when she arrived at Towson has made her position even more enjoyable.
