®r. 5-1. iilann For six years, Greensboro was fortunate in having as City Superintendent of Schools, Dr. James L. Mann, of South Carolina—a teacher of sound scholar¬ ship, wide experience, and n ational reputation. It would be superfluous to recall to students of the Greensboro High School his record as Superintendent or to remind them of the many improvements made in the system during his adminis¬ tration. They remember well the pride with which they entered the new high school building; they look back and count the numerous grammar schools that have been built one by one in all parts of the city; they tell visiting debating teams, with perhaps some arrogance, that our high school graduates are now admitted without condition to the best colleges of the South, and that those students are winning honors in the colleges to which they have gone,—and they naturally feel that a large part of this glory belongs to the man who laid the foundations and directed the work in Greensboro. Dr. Mann ' s personal influence in the high school will long be felt, and his daily visits, a point of contact between him and the student body, will always be missed. We shall never forget those masterly orations in the chapel, those out¬ bursts of scathing sarcasm against the folly of our generation, those unsparing phillipics against the lawless youth of our school, those humorous pictures of American life that made chapel an occasion, or those more serious talks that made it the most important part of the day. When a busy superintendent finds time to talk with the students here and there, when he takes the trouble to know by name each of the five thousand children in his system, when he makes their interests his interests, and his time their time, he becomes in effect not merely a director but also a part of the system under his supervision. Such was Dr. Mann. Clean-cut in his opinions, just in his requirements, de¬ cisive in his administration, friendly in his bearing. One needs only to listen to realize the feeling that still exists for him in the Greensboro High School. It is for this reason that we are trying to show our loyalty and appreciation of his services in dedicating to him this volume of the Reflector. 6
