George Mason High School - Mustang Yearbook (Falls Church, VA)

One V(io Has Helped Make rvin The year 1949 was a year of significance to the citizens of Falls Church— a new city was chartered, a new school was begun. The decade just passed has been one of growth and progress for the city and for its school system. The foundation of a splendid educational system was laid upon which greater accomplishments could be realized. Much of the credit for the progress in the building of a superior educational system should be given to Irvin H. Schmitt, Division Superintendent. His is an enviable record of achievement. Since coming to Falls Church in 1949, his efforts have been untiring in the shaping, molding, building of a school system based on sound educa- tional philosophy, high ideals and practical management. Under Mr. Schmitt’s guidance the George Mason High School and the Mount Daniel Elementary School were built; the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School was acquired from Fairfax County and enlarged; and the Madison Elementary School received extensive alterations. The Mustang Staff believes that no yearbook should be dedicated to an individual unless that individual has an outstanding record of accomplishment. We feel that such recognition of Mr. Schmitt is long overdue. His quest for better educational opportunities for us has been an inspiration to us all. It is with pride that we dedicate this, the I960 Mustang, to MR. IRVIN H. SCHMITT.
