lllnmrr Haul Svhvphrrh Homer Paul Shepherd came to Lincoln high school last September from Kansas City, Kansas, Where, at the invitation of the superintendent, M. E. Pearson, Mr. Shepherd had organized the first junior high school, of which he served as principal for five years before coming to Lincoln high. When Mr. Leflcr introduced the new principal, he said that we should find in Mr. Shepherd, among other things, a man who was deeply interested in high school boys and girls, and one who was an exponent of the square deal. In the school year that has intervened between that time and this, Lincoln high has found all this to be true. Mr. Shepherd possesses those qualities and many more, all of which go to make up a versatile principal who has made firm friends among both faculty and students. Lincoln high school is fortunate in having the guidance of a man as cosmopolitan as its present principal. Mr. Shepherd has had wide experi- ence as an administrator in educational fields, from the time of his gradua- tion from Baker University, Kansas, until his arrival in his present posi- tion at Lincoln high school. His experience in administrative education has included principalship and superintendency in several cities, and since he has had the advantage of comparing the systems of these, and retain- ing the best methods of each, Mr. Shepherd is in a position to render the best possible service to Lincoln high school. He has taken advanced study at the University of Chicago and has been a continuous student of educa- tional problems of the day. When Mr. Shepherd addressed the students of Lincoln high for the first time, he laughingly observed that he had been looking things over very carefully here, and that he was aware that he, too, had been very carefully looked over. Lincoln high school now knows the result of its own measurement of Mr. Shepherd and realizes that Mr. Shepherd has also formed an opinion of the high school to which he has come. It is the wish ofthe students that Mr. Shepherd may have found them as loyal and sincere as they have found Mr.'Shepherd. -3--
