l Administrators of Lima Public Schools McLEAN REED, superintendent of Lima public schools, was born in Putnam County, only twenty miles from Lima. His boy- ' hood dream was to become a good lawyer. Upon graduation from public school, he entered Ottawa Normal School to prepare for a teach- ing position. After teaching in Putnam and Hancock Counties for four years, he entered Ohio Northern University as a law student, but the urge to become an educator soon supplanted his earlier ambition. He received his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees from Ohio Northern University, and his Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University, at which institution he will begin work on his Doctor's degree this summer. After ten years' teaching experience, Mr. Reed became principal of Fostoria High School, and a year later he was named superintendent of the Fostoria schools, a position which he held for seven years. ln Sep- tember l937, the Lima Board of Education chose Mr. Reed as head of our educational system. The friendliness of Central's student body has impressed Mr. Reed a great deal. He feels that the excellent quality of the school work done in Central may be attributed to the fact that the students participate so freely in the activities and government of the school-a policy in which he firmly believes. A versatile individual, our school head enjoys various hobbies. He is an ardent movie fan and attends the theatre frequently on Saturday afternoon. Lionel Barrymore, William Powell, and Wallace Beery are his favorite actors. A'The Marks of an Educated Man by Albert Edward Wiggarn holds a certain fascination for our superintendent, for he has perused it a number of times, ln fact, it was lying on his desk at the time of our interview. He also flnds magazine articles and biography entertaining. One of Mr. Reeds main interests to which he devotes a great deal of his time is music, and almost every Sunday morning he can be found singing in the choir at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he is a member. ln contrast with his cultural pursuits, he is fond of such outdoor sports as fishing and hunting. He likes athletics of all kinds and attends most high school contests in all major sports and many inter-collegiate and big league baseball games every year. experience in school ad- Mr. J. M. Reeds ministration and his sparkling and outstand- ing personality are two of his greatest assets. He faces issues squarely, thinks them through. and then acts upon them from an impartial viewpoint. Schools and nations need more men like him. Board of Education Dr. A. N. Wiseley, physician, has been a member of the Board of Education for the last five years and is now its president. Mr. A. M. Gantz, manager of Standard Brands, is its clerk and has served for six years. Wt? Mr. C. H. Pool, vice-president, has been a member of our board for four and a half years. Mr. Pool is associated with the Buck- eye Pipe Line Company. Mr. C. A. Neiswander, a member of the Board of Education for the past ten years, is the superintendent of the Buckeye Machine Company. Mr. W. C. Derbyshire for the past twelve years has been a member of the board, and is the proprietor of a grocery. Mr. H. Ci. Mason has been director of maintenance for eight years. -NADINE CoRsoN
