jueo Teachers Have High Degrees NTHUSIASTIC cooperation on the part of college instructors has made possible many more interesting events for the students throughout this school year. Through the efforts of the teachers, college classes have proved more enjoyable as well as more instructive, and the standing and general morale of the school has been raised. E. A.

He also did graduate work in summer schools at the University of Chicago and Wiscon- sin University. Arkansas City has been his home for the past nineteen years. In 1917, when the junior high school was organized he was appointed principal. In 1924 he was appointed principal of the senior high school, in which capacity he now serves. In 1930, he was also appointed by the Board of Education as dean of the junior college. Before coming to Arkansas City he taught five terms at Caney.
