Q U P ' 1' P ra I N C I P A L it Sul E. R. STEVENS, B. S.. Kansas State Teachers' College, Em- pori' a M. S. University of Kansas Every high school has a big shot . He may be easy to get along with and likable, or he may be just the opposite. Our big shot be- longs in the former category. All principals, because of the nature of their profession, make themselves the target of all the criticism of disgruntled students. Principal E. R. Stevens, the big shot of I. H. S., is no exception, but certainly the amount of criticism is at an almost irreducible miniumum. Principal Stevens came to I. H. S. in the fall of 1927 from Leavenworth High School. He gained his Bachelor of Science degree at Emporia State Teachers College and earned his Master of Science degree at the University of Kansas. Our principal is not lacking in qualifications for his position. Our principal by no means limits his activities to his school duties, although he has enough of them by virtue of his being principal of the junior and senior high schools and dean of the junior college. He takes his part in civic affairs, having recently served as president of the local Rotary Club. The esteem in which he is held by his fellow-educators is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Stevens is now president of both the Kansas State High School Athletic As- sociation and the National Federation of High School Athletic As- sociations. A friend to all activities and departments of the school is our principal. Although recognizing the three r's as fundamentals, hc realizes that school would be a very dull and useless place if only reading, writing, and arithmetic were taught. Music, debate, manual training, athletics, and all the rest receive enthusiastic backing from Mr. Stevens. , The final proof of Mr. Stevens' competency is that students ap- proach him not fearfully and trembling, but as they would one who is their friend.
