T R A T I O N Superintendent of Schools . BETTER SCHOOLS W. Dwight Darling returned to the superintendency of the Crooksville Schools at the beginning of this school year after a military leave of absence of over four years. Mr. Darling was called to active duty as a First Lieutenant of Infantry on May 30, 1942. He served as commanding officer of the 233rd Military Police Company, Provost Marshal of the Indiantown Gap Military Reservation and finally as a Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute during his active service. He was separated from the U. S. Army as a Major of Infantry. Mr. Howard A. Zollinger served as Superintendent of Schools during the difficult war years and resigned August 1, 1946 to devote his full time to his insurance business in Crooksville. Mr. Darling has been associated with the local schools since 1930. He was recently given another four year contract by the Board of Education. He is an ardent believer in student activities and sports but states that his biggest problem is to maintain such a balance between these affairs and regular school work as to allow full scope to activities and still not interfere with the best education possible for the student. He started the first school newspaper the local schools have had since the days of school control of the Crooksville Messenger, the mimeographed semi-weekly, THE CRUX-HI-RE-VU, with the aid of Miss Coulter, Miss Snell and Miss Eswine. W. DWIGHT DARLING B. S. in Edu. and M. A. Ohio State University U. S. Naval Academy Mr. Darling has found the combined jobs of superintendent and high school principal rather difficult and time consuming. He gives full credit to the elementary principals, Mrs. Sinsabaugh and Mr. Gannon, and to the entire faculty for sharing his many responsibilities in working for better schools.
