HALL THE BOARD OF EDUCATION A Young people of the Class of 1930,-yours have been busy years since that September morn in 1926 on which began your secondary educational period. You have come by various routes to this long looked for height and are now enjoying the exhilaration and pride of achievement. ' The Board of Education congratulates each one of you on laurels worthily won and wishes you joy and success in your future undertakings. The habits which you have formed in these four happy years in our dear old L. T. H. S. will be the great- est inHuence in your future careers. Your Board, your Faculty, your Parents, and your Friends believe that those habits are predominantly good, and so look for your continuing success in the serious affairs of life.

The vice-president of our country, Charles Curtis. who greatly enjoys speaking to youth, has said, Never have opportunities so crowded themselves upon youth. We live in a choice age-there never was a better period than that which awaits the young man -and, may I interpolate, the young woman-of today. Live not to yourselves alone. Be generous in your help for worthy things. For only what you leave for others done Will live, to mark fthe limits of your worth. ' L. T. H. S. lives in her sons and daughters. May you always fondly remember your Alma Mater. The golden harp of memory!-MEMORY!-One of our choicest possessions! May the recollections of your happy years in L. T. H. S. be jealously kept and often recur to bless you with pleasant thoughts. ROBERT C. FLETCHER, President. Page I3

ABULAE r GEORGE W. WILLETT B. E. GORDON Principal Assistant Principal - Graduated from high school at Centerville, Iowa, in 1902, Dr. Willett taught in country schools for two years, after which he entered Des Moines College, receiving an A. B. degree in 1908. He was principal of the high school at Villisca, Iowa, for one year, and of the high school at Albia, Iowa, for four years. For the next two years he was superintendent of schools at Albia, Iowa, during which time he earned an A. M. degree in education and psychology at the University of Iowa. - From 1915 to 1922 he was principal of the high school, junior college, and night school at Hibbing, Minnesota. He spent the summers of 1917 to 1923 doing graduate work at the Uni- versity of Chicago, receiving his Ph. D. degree in 1923. That same year he came to Lyons Township High School and has accomplished much since then, spending his summers in teach- ing at the Universities of Arizona, Michigan, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania. Dr. Willett is well known among Chicago educators as a progressive administrator. A recent recognition of his ability was his election to the office of second vice-president of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. To his forward looking influ- ence may be ascribed, in a large measure, the rapid progress which Lyons Township has made in the past seven years. Reviewing Mr. Gordon's career we see that he has been engaged in athletics since the time he left high school in Fort Scott, Kansas. His first experience was in teaching and coach- ing football there at the high school. While attending the University of Kansas, he won his letter in track, taking part in the high jump, shot put, and also discus throwing, in which he held the state championship. He was graduated from the University of Chicago in 1910, receiving a degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, and from Chicago Kent College in 1918. , In 1907 he came to L. T. H. S. as a teacher of manual training and mechanical drawing. Since 1913 he has coached track at La Grange High School, and during that time besides many championships of less importance, La Grange has won the National lnterscholastic Track Championship at Chicago, the lnterscholastic Track Meet at Michigan, and the Illinois State Championship, which has been won twice. In 1926 Mr. Gordon was made assistant principal of the school. Since that time he has served in that capacity, in addition to teaching mechanical drawing and coaching track., No matter what he tackles there is always that force and energy that carries him through, always an understanding graciousness, sympathy, and humor that has endeared him to all. - Page I4
