Haley has en- deared himself to the entire student body as well as to the faculty. A quiet. gentle speafing man, Mr. Haley has by his sincerity and depth of pur- pose inspired the confidence of all who know him. Coming to the Hot Springs school system from Blytheville, Arkansas, where he had served as Superintendent of Public Schools for twelve years, Mr. Haley is a graduate of Columbia University, New York, with an M. A. degree. He has an A. B. degree from Vanderbilt, a B. S. degree from the Peabody College and a diploma on city schools administration from the University of New York. V. E. Sammons, high school principal, has. by the force of his personality, won the hearts of all his associates-both faculty and pupils. Through his efforts in 1929 the school was accredited by the North Central Association. Mr. Sammons has al- ways stressed student participation, but it was not until 1929 that his efforts were rewarded by the faculty and student,s acceptance of the new theory. Mr. Sammons also played a large part in organiz- ing the local chapter of the National Honor So- ciety for pupils. Besides holding office in many local organiza- tions, Mr. Sammons has served as president, vice- president, and secretary of the VUays and Means committee of the Arkansas Educational Associa- tion.
