Q 0 ll P. F. runs, Principal ll Mr. Paul F. Ries is completing his second year as principal of Galion High School. He came to us in September, 1923, from Mt. Vernon Where he has been an assistant. He is a graduate of Ohio State University where he received his A. B. and M. A. Degrees, and has been spending his sum- mer vacations with his alma mater, taking post-graduate work in school administration. He enjoys the distinction of being the youngest person to hold the position of high school principal in Galion within the last thirty years. He is also a member of the Phi Delta Kappa Education Fraternity. Owing to a shortage of teachers in the high school, it has fallen to Mr. Ries' lot, in addition to his administrative duties, to teach three or more classes. Students who have been so fortunate as to be under his instruction speak highly of his Work in the class room. As an administrative officer he is prompt and business-like in his methods, and, toward the students who are charged with class offices or with the management of extra-curricular activites, his attitude is encour- aging and appreciative. The Spy Staff extend to him best wishes for continued success in his Work. I Eleven

ll SUPT. R. D. CONRAD fl Mr. R. D. Conrad is completing his first year as superintendent of the Galion Schools. He is a graduate of Wittenberg College with both the A. B. and A. M. degrees and has secured some credits at Columbia Uni- versity towards a doctor's degree. He came to us from DeGraff in Sep- tember, 1924. As his office is in the high school building he is a familiar figure to high school students and seems to belong more to the high school than to the other departments in his charge. But this is only apparent. He is a very busy man, since the school year 1924-25 has been an eventful one for the Galion Schools. In addition to the usual duties of this office' the superintendent was called upon to manage a publicity campaign to secure a favorable vote on the bond issue for a new Junior High School building, and to help the Board of Education to secure plans and bids. Notwithstanding such pressure of business, Supt. Conrad has mani- fested a warm interest in high school students, ever meeting them with a genial smile and sympathetic interest in their wishes and projects. The Spy Staff takes this opportunity to thank Mr. Conrad for his genial atti- tude and to extend to him best wishes for future success. Ten D- i
