In 1888 Mr. Horn entered Olivet CoUe.u-e. and, with the mone} ' he had saved, together with that whicli he earned during his course, g ' raduated A.B. in 1892. During his college course he was much interested in literar} work, and during his junior year won the first prize in the reg ' ular oratorical contest. It was during the latter part of his coUeg ' e course that he fell in love for the last time, and fatally. Shortly after his g ' raduation he was elected princii)al of the Eaton Rapids Hig h School and served in this ca})acity for one year. His work in Eaton Rapids was very satisfac- tory and he was urg ed to remain for a long er time, but hav ing received a call from Traverse City, he decided to accept the position as i)rincii)al of the Traverse City High School. A short time before coming to Traverse City Mr. Horn mar- ried Miss Hila Meads, of Olivet. After spending- a short time at the World ' s Pair, Mr. and Mrs. Horn came to Trav- erse City and have remained here since. As principal of the Hig h School, Mr. Horn has been ver} ' successful, winning by his good judgement, tact and fidelity, the respect of all with whom he comes in contact. During his life as principal he found time to pursue studies along advanced lines, especially in History and Latin. In 1895 Olivet College conferred upon him the degree of M.A., as evidence of the completion of the advanced studies re- quired for this honor. Last year upon Prof. Grawn ' s resignation Mr. Horn was appointed to till the vacancy as superintendent. Mr. Horn is not only a thorough and devoted schoolman but he has alTvays manifested a deep interest in whatever per- tains to the social, moral, and spiritual welfare of the com- munity in which he labors. His influence on the young peo- ple is always that which goes to make up the highest type of Christian character. He will be remembered by his asso- ciates and students as an inspiring and helpful friend. Long may Traverse Cit} be able to retain him as Superin- tendent of her Public Schools.
