Every person in the cheering auditorium had felt the influence of Mr. M. N. Funk. To some he had been the man behind the desk behind the door marked Principal. To many he was a friend who had helped them in any way he could. To all, he was an outstanding man. During his career at Latrobe High School, he accomplished many things. With the idea that a good plant is necessary to produce good students, he promoted many improvements. The homemaking cottage is still a novel idea in education. The new addition to the school relieved the crowded class- rooms. The well lighted stadium caused students to lift their heads in pride. His work extended into community life. Various organizations were proud to have him as a member. Through his help, these groups became more interested in school affairs. The forensic contests and many awards were the result. The town supported the school in Whatever the students un- dertook. The band, marching gaily down Ligonier Street, is a living memor- ial of the campaign for new uniforms. Mr. Funk's work was quickly noticed by outsiders. For many years he served as president of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. This year he received the position of executive director of the P.I.A.A. Latrobe's loss is the P.l.A.A.'s gain.
