A D M I N I S T R ATION SUPERINTENDENT PAUL R. TAYLOR A.B., M.S., Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater Superintendent Paul R. Taylor has served as head of the El Reno school system for ten years. During these years he has quietly, serenely, and wisely formulated and executed plans that have resulted in the growth and the betterment of the local schools. Many are the suggestions Mr. Taylor has made to his teachers and students that have challenged them to attempt to do their tasks better in their tomorrows than they have done those previously assigned them. Mr. Taylor has answered the call to greater service for his country by accepting and fulfilling in a most creditable manner an appointment as Oklahoma Schools-at-War Direc- tor, War Finance Division. With the wisdom that comes through experience. Princi- pal Walter P. Marsh has led El Reno High School through another nine months to complete his tenth year of service in El Reno. Under his direction, two valuable programs have been instituted this year, specialized reading courses for fresh- men and guidance service for all high school students. Mr. Marsh will long be remembered by his students for his love of music and for some of his famous stories. What would the students do without Mr. Marsh to lead them occasionally in group singing in assembly and to illustrate some much needed advice that he is giving with a well- chosen story?
