. .,,, .. .M ROSS N. ROBINSON, SIlI7l'l'ilIft'I1H'L'lIf OUR CHIEF OF STAFF It can be truly said that upon the shoulders of this man lies the responsibilities of leader of the Kingsport schools to their best interest. It is he who leads the student activities and studies of all the schools in our city. Besides his regular duties, he takes personal interest in the problems of our school. Through his kindness and interest, he has led many students through a difficulty. He has helped to install in the minds and hearts of the students a sense of the patriotic privilege and duty they have to their country. He is, indeed, a great leader. Probably the best way to show the abilities of our Superintendent is to name some of the offices he holds. As a school administrator his membership in such groups as the Tennessee Ifducation Association, American Association of School Administrators, President of Public School Officers, and past-president of the lfast Tennessee Education Association has given Kingsport schools a high standard and a higher recognition throughout the South. Yfithin these Q 1 walls knowledge is increased and WN- X character is being developed. -' 'ar :vs : ll? E
