Our Principals LEVI GILBERT Our principal, Mr. Levi Gilbert, has a rich and varied experience as a class room teacher and as an executive. After his graduation at Shippensburg Normal School, he entered Franklin and Marshall College. Basketball and football were his favorite sports, and service as captain of the F. and M. football team during two years proved him to be an athlete of no mean ability. From Franklin and Marshall College, Mr. Gilbert was graduated in 1922, as the valedictorian of his class. He earned his M. A. degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 1928. For several years he has been working toward a Ph. D. which he expects to obtain at the University of Southern California. Mr. Gilbert had experience as dean of men at Shippensburg and as mathe- matics instructor in Girard College. In 1927, he went to Lansdowne as principal of the high school. Since 1930, he has been our principal and friend. JOSEPH N. MADDOCKS Mr. Maddocks, our assistant principal, is a product of the Altoona High School, a member of the class of 1917. He entered Juniata College in 1918, but transferred from that school to Penn State in 1919, where he earned a B. S. degree in 1921. While a student at Penn State, Mr. Maddocks served as circulation manager of the Penn State Engineer and became a member of the Scarab Fraternity, an honorary archi- tectual organization. He was awarded his M. A. degree at Columbia University in 1925. Mr. Maddocks returned to Altoona High in 1921, where he continued to teach mathematics for eight years. During the years 1927-1928 and 1928-1929, he served as the director of the 'Lnight school sessions of the district. Mr. Maddocks' progres- sive spirit and conscientious effort led to his appointment as assistant principal, a position which he has creditably filled for the last four years. Mr. Maddocks has also served as director of the summer session of the Altoona High School and has assisted in the supervision of student teachers for the past three years. L1 MR. GILBERT MR.
