E. Mabel Moon History R. R. Robinson Dir. Of Research Thirty years or more of service to J.T. - that is the record of the teachers whom we honor on this page. These fine teachers have devoted all, or most, of their teaching careers to furthering the best interests of J.T. Loyally they have carried on the ideals of its founders, have cherished its traditions, and have made their contribution to its preeminence. Much of the past greatness of Joliet Township High School has, indeed, been based on this fortunate circumstance - that a large number of instructors have made the development of this institution their lite's work. ln acknowledgement of the debt we owe to them and in appreciation of the high quality of their service we list: Harry J. Atkinson, Bess Banes, Roberta Brown, Ralph Bush, Philena Clarke, Grace Clow, Hiram Converse, Lee Daley, L. M. Deam, Ber- tha Denning, C. E. Durstine, Roy Fargo, Frank Flee- ner, Harlow D. Grose, W. W. Haggard, Glenna Hamill, Myrtle Holmstrom, J. M. Lange, Gertrude Lawlor, Leveritt Lyons, Emily B. Mack, Myra Mather, Edward Mayo, A. R.

Superintendent Dean of Boys Dean of Women Deon, Jr, Cgllege Administration trives For Progress First of many able administrators was J. Stanley Brown, superintendent from 1899-1919, a man of outstanding leadership and devotion to the cause of education. A great organizer and a man of vision, he brought to J.T. the first iunior college in the U. S. Also of broad vision was his successor, L. W. Smith. ln the years he served C1919-281 many additions and improvements were carried out. W. W. Haggard 11928-19391 carried the school through a difficult period of retrenchment. The war years brought about a series of changes. Clarence L. Jordan, a magnetic leader, served from 1939 to December 1941, Leonard B. Wheat, who saw the needs of school, 1942-43, Roosevelt Bas- ler, who commanded the loyalty of the teachers, 1943-46, Donald M. Sharpe, well prepared to under- stand the problems of the school, 1946-47. Last to take over the destinies of J.T. is Hugh S. Bonar. Under his able generalship the school has started on a new period of development. Since 1947 many needed improvements to the physical plant have been made, more are planned for the future. Through his progressive leadership, many new courses and services have been added and develop- ments in curriculum study have made Joliet a recognized leader in the state. Again, through Mr. Bonar's work, J.T. is fulfilling the dream of its founders - one ofthe finest schools in the land! Refusing to step from the role of assistant super- intendent were two leaders of outstanding person- ality - Chauncey Spicer and Harry J. Atkinson. Their many years of loyal service have left an indelible mark on J.T. and on the lives of their assosiates. Graduation pins bearing this design were used by the Class of 1906. C. D.
