7a Ma. Germain Our principal, who has ever been a pioneer in lamestown High School. Mr. Corwin is celebrating his twenty-titth anniversary at I. H. S. this year. He has guided us Well, and under his super- vision we have learned and matured. Mr. Corwin's lite has been sincere, and he sets a goal tor us all. He has pioneered in many ways in Iamestown High. He has insti- tuted such valuable activities as the auto-driving club and the radio club. He believes in the students, and puts himself in their place. He once said that it he didn't believe in them, he wouldn't be principal. Mr. Corwin also loves nature, as all good pioneers should. He spends a great deal ot his time fishing, and it is typical ot his wants and pleasures. We present, then, this briet picture of Mr. Corwin. Striving end- lessly for perfection at his work, yet simple in his relaxation, he is our idea ot success. To him we pay tribute.
