SUPERINTENIJENT If that same stranger should see our Mr. Miller moving around the school, he would certainly arrive at the conclu- sion, and rightly so, that here is a man who gets things done. If our Superintendent's mid- dle name were Energy or Enthusiasm , it would seem justly deserved. QWe wonder just what that E does stand forj. Although we don't see Mr. Miller quite so often now, there is always definite evi- dence of his good work and his personal interest in each of us. ,.4v,a-sd., wAnE E. MILLER U73 A. B.. Heidelberg: M. A., Ohio State We've seen this familiar face around school for several years as principal, but this year Mr. Miller has taken on the responsibilities of Superintendent of thc Middletown Schools. Already he has begun to lay the groundwork for a bigger and better school system which will benefit the future genera- tions of Middletown. Starting out in a modest way, he taught in a rural school near Barberton. Ambitious as ever, after a few years' of teaching, he went to Heidelberg College to renew his studies. Returning again to his profession, he accept- ed a position in Fostoria as a history teacher. which position he held until he came to Mid- dletown as principal.

D. R. BAKER A. B., Miami: M. A., University of Cincinnati Reliably holding the reins of our school this year is one of our former faculty members, Mr. D. R. Baker, now principal. He has made an excellent start in carrying out the duties of his newly appointed position. Mr. Baker's career began at Martins Ferry, where he coached and taught mathematics. When he later moved to Anderson, Indiana, he taught these same subjects along with physics. Then in succession he became teach- er, principal, and superintendent of the Ham- ilton schools. His final position, before ar- riving in Middletown as Supervisor of In- dustrial Education, was as Supervisor of the U. S. W. P. W. program in Cincinnati. PRINCIPAL A stranger entering the halls of M. H. S. and meeting Mr, B a k e r would immediately think, Here is a man of chiv- alry, indeed . Our new prin- cipal certainly has the ability of smoothing out the roughest situation. His kindly advice has made many erring students mend their ways. Although Mr. Baker was new to most students at the beginning of the year, he is now not only known to all, but is liked by each and everyone. l
