MR. MILTON J. FLETCHER Principal of J. H. S. from September 1898 to June, 1919 Superintendent of Schools from 1919 to 1932 While Mr. Fletcher was superintendent, the schools became highly organized. He started an extensive building program, including the three Junior high schools, the Samuel Love School, additions to five of the grade schools, and the Admin- istration Building. It was his dream to climax this program with two new Senior high schools in the northern and southern parts of the city. He bought land in Poland and started the School Forest Incorporated. When he retired, he was con- sidered the most universally beloved schoolmaster the city has known and his influence is far-reaching. MR. MERTON P. CORWIN Principal of J. H. S. since September, 1920 Head of the Mathematics Department and Assistant Principal 1913 to 1920 Mr. Corwin is a natural organizer and as the author of the Jamestown adaptation of the platoon system, has with admir- able facility, pulled the high school through two extremely crowded periods. During his administration, also, the music de- partment has expanded and the famed band and orchestra of J. H. S. has been founded. Through his co-operation with Mr. Fletcher, the School Forest, Inc., has been developed and Hnanced. Both Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Corwin have honored Jamestown by serving as chairman of the New York State Association of Academic Superintendents and Principals. Mr. Corwin has also been active in civic affairs, being at present a member of the training school committee of the General Hospital and president of the Rotary Club. He is highly esteemed by the students for his fairness and sympathetic understanding of human nature. LIST OF PRINCIPALS 1868-1871 Samuel G.
