A. G. I-IEITMAN, Principal We of the Annual Staff wish to introduce to you a man who is regarded highly by every student in the Castle. Our principal, Pop Heitman, has been setting a fine example for the students since he came to the school in the fall of 1912. His record at Central is one of marked advancement. He began as a teacher of physics and in four yfars' time he attained the position of assistant principal. The years rolled by until in l926 he became prin- cipal of Central High. During his many years of service, Mr. Heitman has ably managed and directed the affairs of the school and has always taken an active part in every school activity. His friendly attitude toward a student body exceeding two thousand persons will never be forgotten. When an occasion has arisen that has demanded disciplinary action, Pop has handled it with fairness and leniency. He has been responsible for changing the idea that the purpose of a faculty is to punish. He has never been known to refuse a student seeking help or advice. Mr. Heitman's record shows that he has acquired a varied background in preparation for a career in teaching: he has attended Carthage College, the University of Illinois, and the Uni- versity of Chicago. -f2f10
