AD IN MEMORIAM Mr. Russell D. Johnson, Superintendent of Schools, Granite City Community Unit School District 9. In November, 1966, we were saddened by the sudden death of a man who has long served the citizens of this community as a teacher and administrator, Mr. Russell D. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was born on December 4, 1900, in Moline, Illinois, where he attended the public schools. After attending Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, from 1918- 1921, he taught mathematics and industrial arts at Michigan City, Indiana. In 1923, he married Ertha Maria Lindenmeyer. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have three children, Russell D. Jr., Ertha Ann, and Ruth Marie. In 1925, Mr. Johnson received his A.B. degree from Augustana College. In 1926, he came to Granite City and taught mathematics in the high school from 1926-1941. He became Assistant Principal in 1941, and he was Principal from 1950- 1955. In 1950, he received a Master’s degree from Washington University. In 1955, he became Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Community Unit 9, and in 1964, he be- came Superintendent, serving in that capacity until his death. Mr. Johnson stood for integrity and service, providing a major contribution to the education of the youth of the area. 16

OFFICIAL SEAL Granite City Senior High School This year, the 1967 Warrior yearbook staff is proud to introduce the new official seal for Granite City Senior High School. Its design is the result of the combined ideas of several members of the yearbook staff. At top center is the lamp of learning above a shield surmounted by the motto, “Wisdom.” In the left upper segment of the shield is a quill and inkstand, representing scholarship; to the right of it is the gavel of democrat- ic parliamentary procedure, and below is the book of knowledge, opened through scholarly en deavor. Below the shield is the Latin inscription, Scientia Ipsa Potestas Est. (Knowledge, itself, is power) Surrounding all is the continuous chain linking the senior classes of Granite High. At bottom is the founding date of the first high school in Granite City, 1898. The art work is by Joan Mowery of the Warrior staff, and the American Yearbook Company. We are indebted to Miss Mildred Iffrig for her advice concerning the Latin Inscription. 15
