ADMINISTRATION Under the guiding hand of Superintendent Paul R. Taylor, who has served as head of the El Reno school system for nine years, new plans for speeding and improving the prog- ress of the boys and girls of El Reno are constantly being tested and, when successful, being incorporated as a part of the school program. New courses of study are being formulated. Classes in which students are specifically trained for traveling for- ward in a nation at war have been added to the curriculum. Under Mr. Taylor’s inspiration, the work goes on. Teach- ers and students en route to the future appreciate the fact that their superintendent not only points the way forward for them but also urges them to “hold fast to that which is good in the present. SUPERINTENDENT PAUL R. TAYLOR A. B., M. S., Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater Directing the traffic along the highways and byways of El Reno High School is Mr. Walter P. Marsh, who is com- pleting his ninth year as principal of the high school. Mr. Marsh is always ready to help a student overcome the difficulty of climbing a steep hill of seeming defeat or frustration. He is always happy to rejoice with a student when the way he is traveling leads to success. Under Mr. Marsh’s direction, the students are being trained to think clearly, to act wisely, and to make split- second decisions when these sre necessary. While recogniz- ing the value of play and relaxation, he constantly impresses upon the students the fact thst they must conserve their energy for those projects most worth-while in a country at war.
