Page Twelve MR. M. C. MURRAY, Superintendent Say, Oscar, whose office is that over there? Let's walk over and peek in. Why, Penny. I’m surprised at you; this is the superintendent’s office. Do you mean to say you never heard of the work of Mr. Murray? We can walk right in because it is early, and no one is here. Say, Oscar, what do you say we hide and surprise Mr. Murray when he comes in? A fine idea. Penny; these files will do the trick. My! Oscar, look here—records of high school students as far back as the founding of this school, and look at all the records of the various public schools. Here comes Mr. Murray now. Let’s talk to him. Hello, Mr. Murray, could we—.’’ You will have to get an appointment as I am busy just now. And so the daily routine of our superintendent’s office goes on. MR. M. L. KNAPP, Prineipal “Here, Penny, is the office of our principal, known to all of his friends as a handball enthusiast. After his work is finished, he hurries down to the Y”—where he indulges in his favorite sport. You know, Penny, Mr. Knapp’s life is not all recreation; he is responsible for some one thousand students, and he watches over them as if they were his own. Possibly some of the boys and girls with whom we have already become acquainted have been called on the ’green carpet, but under his guardianship they have just completed the four happiest years of their lives. You know, Penny, principals in some schools have some enemies, but 1 believe that 1 can safely say that Mr. Knapp is admired by all the students of this school. Come, Oscar, let’s go out in the hall, as classes are passing, and I should like to watch the students.
