8 T II E C R E S C ENT, 1924 SUPT. SMITH Though Mr. Smith’s duties as Superintendent of Schools keep him from being a frequent visitor at the High School, we still regard him in the old-titnc light of an adviser. Whenever there is need of counsel he willingly gives it and it is of a profitable nature. Our pep meetings hold more and finer enthusiasm when he is able to leave his tasks and lend a word of encouragement, criticism or praise. More than once his talks and suggestions on sportsmanship have been timely. His interest in every line of activity is unfailing. Mr. Smith’s first year as superintendent has proven that he is capable of the faithful and efficient discharge of the responsibilities of that office. He is making good in the bigger field and we are glad that he has had the oopoi-tunity, though El-Hi has surely missed him since he left. PRIN. HUFF. For the first time the “Crescent” extends its greetings to Principal Huff. While becoming accustomed to the departure of Mr. Smith, we have been becoming acquainted with his successor. Mr. Huff is a man who loves art, nature, and intellectual pursuits. He has had placed above the main entrance a piece of statuary representing the “Choir Boys,” an imitation of that on the Parthenon (Athens), which he found in the attic and which was repaired under his supervision. He has personally cared for and raised a fine collection of flowers in his office. Through the influence of Mr. Huff, a series of programs were given by individual students during the latter part of the term. Also, he has made quite a “hit” in this and neighboring cities with his descriptive address on Europe and his tale of the Passion Play, both of which he has seen in his travels abroad. Mr. Huff came to us from Muncie Normal.
