JAMES W. McDOWELL A very versatile instructor indeed is Mr. James W. lVlcDowell of room 110. Not only is he outstanding in school activities, but he participates in an active sports life. His favorite sport is fishing, and he spends many summers indulging in this pastime. During the first part of his summer vacation, hei directs activities at one of the city playgrounds. The remainder of the time is spent at his cottage in Forest County. Mr. McDowell is a native of Butler, an alumnus of Butler High School, and a graduate of Gettysburg College where he was a member of the varsity football squad. He has taught social studies in the high school for the past twenty years. No alumnus will forget his famous ustanding army, a device which he used in English history. When pupils failed to respond in the desired manner, Mr. McDowell required them to remain standing until they could answer a question correctly. The method proved effective. To the present school generation he is known as an efficient, sometimes stern taskmaster, one who requires the best of his pupils and gives of the best of himself. Last year when Butler High was in dire need of a football coach, Mr. McDowell came forward and assumed full responsibility. Throughout the season, he worked hard to achieve a good record. Mr. McDowell is present at all of the school athletic events, cheering lustily. He knows first hand the problems of modern-day youth as he is the father of three young people and a proud grandfather. He occupies his leisure hours at home by puttering around in his downstairs workshop. To Mr. James W. McDowell, all round sportsman, untiring coach, and teacher who gives of his time and knowledge so that youth may face life with a more sportsmanlike attitude and with a better sense of preparedness, we the 1945 classes of Butler Senior High School dedicate this issue of the Magnet.
