The Final Test Of A Leader Is That He Instills In Other Men The Conviction And The Will To Carry On Behind every successful operation, there stands : strong administrator—a competent leader. The driving force at B.L.S. is our principal, Mr. Wil¬ iam B. Mclver. His ability to use good judgment, t is desire to exceed, his moral and spiritual char¬ acter, and his sense of responsibility have been nstrumental in makng our school one of the finest n the state in a record-breaking three-year period. He directed the opening of the school, assem- led a top-rate faculty, and led us on to accredi- ation with swiftness and skill. He constantly trives for an intellectual atmosphere in which ve may prepare ourselves for future life. He is lirectly concerned with our problems, and many if us have found that we have been better indi¬ viduals after a conference with him. It does not matter how busy he is, he always has time for those who need his help and his understanding. The attitude and wisdom which Mr. Mclver exhibits is an inspiration to all who come in con¬ tact with him. Part of his philosophy is that as long as a person has the right attitude, he will do a successful job! In a prominent place, he has displayed the fol¬ lowing Indian prayer, Great Spirit—Grant that I may not criticize my neighbor until I have walked a mile in his moccasins. And we know that Mr. Mclver practices in his life what he believes in his heart. 33
