During this time, he has endeared himself to the alumni, faculty, and students because of the depth of his understanding of both in- dividual and group problems, his unfaltering courage in the discharge of his duties, and his far-sightedness in furthering the best in- terests of the local schools. The unselfish service for others exempli- fied in the life of Mr. Taylor, day after day, is an inspiration to all who know him. PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Walter P. Marsh, who is completing his eleventh year as principal of El Reno High School, has all the qualities of a capable leader, a competent adviser, and a well liked friend.
