Mr Nowinson Chatting with Group of Students . -lm, W-..-. OUR NEW LEADER It didn't take long to decide to whom to dedicate the T954 PURPLE AND WHITE. Its theme being, The Englewood Tradition Marches On, the logical choice tor the dedicatory honor could be none other than our genial new principal: Samuel L. Nowinson. Upon his shoulders now rests the chief responsibility of directing this march. So with deep appreciation and aftection the editors ot the i954 PURPLE AND WHITE dedi- cate it to the stalwart, scholarly, and warmhearted new administrative head ot our school. In the tew months he has been with us, we have come to know him as a man at broad sympathies and wide interests. A kindly, consider- ate man with a positive attitude, he strives always to influence others by appealing to the best in them rather than by harping on their shortcomings A discriminating literary scholar, he wears his scholarship lightly, but is ever keenly aware ofthe extent to which true educational values are being effectively imparted in any given situation. A tar- seeing executive, he quickly senses how much re- sponsibility peaple under his supervision can carry and then encourages them to do their best in their own way. He .likes people and people like him. He particularly likes students and teachers, and one ot his chief concerns is that they should be happy in their work. The educational and character- building obiectives which he advocates for Engle- wood are high indeed, and he is convinced they can best be attained in an atmosphere ot selt- discipline, cooperation, cheertulness, confidence, and good will. Such a leader should be an inspiration to all ot us to carry on with a will and to keep the Englewood tradition ever present in our minds as a stimulus to higher and higher attainments. Such a leader should inspire all ot us to live and help live, do and help do. Page 9

Hurled forth by The Little Corporal during his Egyptian campaign of l789, This lightning-like outcry served as a Transfusion of vitality, IT lifted The hearts of his Troops and swept away Their fatigue, boredom, homesickness. ln a flash iT gave Them a rendezvous with history. Boys and girls of Englewood High you are not soldiers, you are not weary and homesick, you are not within sighT of an awesome monument repre- senfing ancienT civilization. If you stop To Think, how- ever, you can have your own rendezvous with hisfory. Indeed, you rub shoulders and Touch hands spiritually with bygone generations day after day as you move Through The corridors of our school, perform required Tasks in iTs classrooms, laboratories, library, study halls, shops, studios, gymnasiums, and auditorium. You are part of a stream that may be said To have begun flowing way back in l859. That year The first school To be built on our campus opened its doors. And part of The vast and winding structure which houses Englewood High Today has been standing since l883. What does This mean? It means much, buT most of what iT means cannot be Touched nor held .. .mums 2 with one's hands, nor seen with one's eyes, nor even put into words. You might say Englewood High has a long and cherished Tradition of excellence in scholarship, in The arts, in athletics, of loyalty To ideals, of note- worthy achievements by its alumni. All This is True, decidedly true. But iT is probably equally True of many another American high school. This probability should, of course, not diminish our pride and feeling of good fortune in being The onward bearers of The illustrious Englewood Tradition IT should not diminish in The least The sense of respon- sibility and The stimulation associated with, and ema- nating from, The rich history of our school. More intriguing, however, is That which glis- Tinguishes Englewood from any other high school. And This is more difhcult To puT one's finger on Than even The characteristics which distinguish any human being from all others. Many of The facfors which have played a determining part in The history of Englewood have been largely products of what, without going into o very involved analysis, we can only call chance. Some are traceable To The vision, courage, will, and influ- ence of principals, Teachers, sTudenTs, and The par-
