TO MR. NUTTING WVXXYE WISH to congratulate the Board of Education on their good fortune in securing Mr. Nutting as superintendent of the Moline public schools. The splendid spirit which existed during his years as principal of Moline high is certain to exert a lasting influence on the whole educational system of our city. The high school has under- gone many changes since Mr. Nutting came here in 1905. To- day Moline high stands among the first-class schools in our state. The high school is a fit- ting monument to Mr. Nutting's fine leadership which played such a vital part in its develop- ment. When he left us last year to became superintendent of schools, each of us felt a great personal loss. Not only was he a fine principal, but he proved himself a real friend to every student. Although he no longer maintains direct control of the high school, that spirit with which he endowed it still lives on. TO MR. CRAKES IT WAS indeed gratifying to ' those who have a sincere in- terest in the welfare of Moline high school when Mr. Crakes was secured last year for principal. No one could be better fitted for the position. He possesses a high quality of leadership to- gether with the ability which is so necessary in conducting an institution like ours. His broad experience enables him to cope with the problems which a prin- cipal frequently must solve. During his first year at Moline high he has displayed unusual ability in maintaining a smooth- ly operating educational system. It is reassuring to know that the task of guiding the destiny of our school rests in such compe- tent hands. Much of his success is due to his friendly under- standing of the students. We, the class of 1932, desire to ex- tend to Mr. Crakes our sincere wishes for many years of con- tinued success at Moline high, Page Niue
