WILLIAM E. BUCKEY Principal O more competent man could have been chosen than our new ’•fjX and much loved principal. Although he has been with us only a short time, he has already made a host of friends among both students and faculty. Mr. Buckey was bom in Randolph County, West Virginia, near the town of Beverly. After completing his High School education he taught at Cairo, Ritchie County and at Central City, a suburb of Huntington. He attended the Fairmont State Normal School, and then was sixth grade critic in Butcher School of this city. Later he was made principal of that school which position he held for six years. He resigned there to go to West Virginia University, after which he took extension courses at Har- vard and Columbia. Always cheerful and ever active and helpful in promoting our wel- fare, his influence over our school life has been unlimited. Seven
