V. D. AMACHER PRINCIPAL Mr. V. D. Amacher has been principal and a teacher at A. C. H. S. since 1929. He came the second year the building was in use and suc- ceeded Mr. H. J. Cawthorne. Having acquired his college education at the University of Illinois, he received a B. S. degree in 1927 and a M. S. degree in 1931. During Mr. Amacher's service here, our high school has become fully accredited by the North Central Association and the University of Illinois. A new agriculture building has been added, our home economics room has been remodeled, and a new commercial department established. Mr. Amacher has been anxious to build up our school with a well trained faculty and he has worked successfully with the school board in accom- plishing this. Our high school district has been enlarged, some of the non-school districts having been added. Through Mr. Amacher's leadership and with the cooperation of the board, the Argenta Community High School has become one of the top ranking high schools in central Illinois. 9
