—HE 1931 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHO 0 L OUR TEACHERS FLOYD O. GLASS Mr. Glass received his college training at North Manchester College. For two years he taught the upper grades at Mount Etna. Huntington County. Then he held similar positions at Lincolnville, Wabash County, for five years, and at Rich Valley for two years. In 1928 he came from the Wabash valley to Porter County, taking a position in the High School at Liberty Center. The past two years he has taught Civics and has or- ganized and directed the work of our Commercial Department. He has made this a most popular group of studies, but has held us all to a high standard of attainment in his classes. Mr. Glass is naturally quiet, but has won many friends outside of his classes by active interest in all school activities. For two years he coached and trained the grade boys’ basketball teams. He has kept the score at all our high school games and contests, and directed our “pep” sessions. He was the chief instigator of the “Leather Lungs” a spirited body of rooters who led the cheering in the later games. To us all he gives the finest of examples—unselfish service to one another and to our school. —Wallace Brainerd. GEORGE K. LOWRY Mr Lowry was born at Vandale, Arkansas where he attended public school from which he graduated in 1919.
