Exim HIGH Scnooi. qenffemen 0 gl'l6lLL2l4C2 By GEORGE PETER Two of the most outstanding figures in the educational circle in our city are Dt-Witt VValler, Superintendent of Enid City Schools. and D. Bruce Selby, Principal of Enid High School. As Superintendent of Enid Schools, M1'. VValler is the functional head of approxi- mately 170 teachers, who are divided into fourteen different schoolsg namely, ten ele- mentary schools, two junior high' schools. a senior high school, and a colored school. The preparation of the budget, the plan- ning and spending of approximately 235335,- 000.00 annually for school expenditures, and the buying and replacing of school equip- ment are but a few of his many duties. He was quite busy followingithe fire on September 2, making necessary adjustments in reorganizing the ten elementary schools to include the seventh grade classes retained in the various schools, and with the work of providing for the high school in the two junior high school buildings. Although a busy man with regard to edu- cation, he devotes his spare time to the help- ing of the war program. The teachers, under lVIr. VValler,s supervision, have issued three different XVar Ration Books. have sponsored the sale of war stamps, and aided with the Red Cross and junior Red Cross, and other co-operative agencies directed by the super- intendent through the teachers to the homes of students. Mi'. VValler also supervised night classes Miz. D, Bnocie St: 5 Miz. DIEXNITT Vifiu l,l-R,SllpKTl711z'nr.1t'Vll.- taught by instructors in the two junior highs. Having been associated with the Enid Schools for thirty-three years, Mr, Walla-i' is well known by the people of Enid and is active in civic, church, and school enterprises. This tall, broacl-shouldered man has a ready smile and a wonderful personality. Although not coming into di1'ect contact with many students, he holds the friendship of all. He is interested in all school activities, and devotes his entire time to keeping the stand- ards of the schools well above average. Mi'. Selby's position as principal of Enid LBY, 'T7rim'1pal High School developed into phases extra- ordinary due to the disastrous fire of Sep- tember 2, l943. ln a brief space of four days lVIr. Selby and his ofhce staff were forced to draft, devise, and arrange new and complete schedules for two high schools in the place of one. Temporary offices were set up in the Bible building across the street from the high school. The program of operating two high schools in conjunction with two junior high schools was directed from this tempor- ary oHice for about three weeks. lVIr. Selby's progressive enthusiasm prompt- ly rose to the occasion. He is insistent that the speed with which reorganization was ac- complished was through the wonderful co- operation of the teaching staff of Enid High School and Longfellow and Emerson junior High Schools and their loyal student bodies. Mr. Selby made every attempt to spend as much time in both Emerson and Longfellow as possible, not permitting one student group any advantage not available to both. Always enthusiastic where Enid High School students are concerned, Mr. Selbyas interest in their welfare and concern for them never lessened. His presence at every activity from the opening whistle of the first football game through commencement, evidenced the warm friendliness for which Enid High Students admire him most. Though many of the traditional experi- ences and joys of the true Plainsman were lost by this disaster, lVIr. Selby says, We must count as gained the rich and varied experience which comes from adapting our- selves quickly to so radical a change. Ir goes without saying that this temporary CIICLIIIIP- ment of Enid High School in the junior high schools will perhaps be a more outstanding event in the lives of the faculty and the boys and girls of l943-44 than had they not been interrupted by the firef,
