HAROLD H. BECHTEL The school year of 1936 -37 finds some new m V- faces in the old office. At the untimely death of John VV. Foreman, Mr. Walter was made superintendent of the Goshen Cit}- Schools. His place as principal of (joshen High School is being ery successfully and ade- quateh ' filled by Harold H. Bechtel. Mr. Bechtel was born and reared near this city in which he now plays an important part. He attended high school in Goshen and in his senior year, Mr. Bechtel was Editor-in- Chief of the 1922 Crimson, which }-earbook was an exceedingh- good one. In the winter of 1922-23 Mr. Bechtel attended Goshen College. The remaining portion of his higher education was all obtained during the summer months, while he taught school in the winter. Our principal was awarded his B. S. in secondary edu- cation at North Manchester College in 1932 ; and after spending the next four summers at Columbia University in New York Citv he was granted an M A degree. At Columbia Mr. Bechtel was pledged to two honorary- fraternities- Phi Delta Kappa and Kappa Delta Pi. Additional work in the field of sec- ondary education was done at the Uni ersitA- of Southern California, where Mr. Bechtel plans to return next summer. The position of principal of a high school is an important and respon- sible one, not only to the community of which that school is a part, but also to the count the state and even to the nation. For that principal plavs a major part in molding the lives of hundreds of voung men and women, the future citizens, the future lawmakers, the future leaders of this country If his task is well done, the outlook for the nation is bright, for good citizens make a eood government and good government makes a great nation. To Mr. Bechtel, as Principal of Goshen High School, is ofl ered this sreat opportunity for ser •lce, as he influences the li •es of the voung men and women of Goshen and the surrounding communities. We, the Class of 1937, the first class to be graduated under the new administration, appreciate Mr. Bechtel and his success m filling his new position and we are certain that the succeed- ing classes will do their part to help him serve Goshen liMiiiiiiiiri ' ii I II II II

Spohn The School Board is the highest authorit}- in the cit ' school system of Goshen. Only leading members of the community are chosen to ser -e in this capacity — smce educational problems are of such ital importance to the com- munity, and to the world at large.
