JOSEPH I. HORTON Superintendent of Schools Once again a senior class has the inestimable privilege of placing in the frontispiece of their year book the picture of a venerable companion throughout their school career. Our deepest respect goes out to this man who, at an age when most men seek the seclusion of a soft chair by the fire, still labors unremittingly with a capability and clarity of mind which typifies the innate fortitude of the man. Our respect is immeasurably deepened when we reflect that Mr. Horton has devoted the best years of his life serving the public school system of which he is not merely a cog, but a live, outstanding personality. Perhaps his greatest asset as a school superintendent is his interest in each growing class and his co-operation with the class organizations. In closing, all too briefly, we, the class of ’35, wish to one of our best school friends the “top of the world.”
