We Interview Mr. Speicher MR. H. B. SPEICHER Sl1D61'VlSi1 ' Principal Mr. Speicher has served as sup rvising principal of the Boswell public schools for the past twenty-one years. During that time he has seen the develop ment of much that constitutes our school today. ln 1921, the high school con- sisted of eighty pupils and four teachers. Today there are three hundred and forty pupils and sixteen teachers. The present high school building was first occupied in January, 1924, also the year in which we were classified as a four-year high school by the Pennsyl- vania Department of Public Instruction. Each year brought some new depart- ment or addition to the school system or buildings. This year both the high school and the grade building have been improved. Three rooms have been added to the high schoolg the grade building has been completely renovated. Along with the broadening of educational attitudes throughout the country, the curriculum of our high school has developed from one of purely academic courses to a wide variety of individual interests, including vocational and instru- mental music, art, commercial studies, agriculture, home economics, and wood shop. It is significant that graduating classes contain a greater number of boys than girls. 7 Mr. Speicher has had thirty-eight years altogether in public schools in Somerset County. He began his work teaching in the grade schools of the county and in Somerset High School before assuming the principalships of Somerset Township High School, Garret Public Schools, Rockwood Borough Schools, and Boswell Borough Schools. f8l
