PAGE SIX Some Short Biographies of the High School Teachers. PROFESSOR T. R. JOHNSTON is an alumnus of Evanston “Prep” Academy and North Western University He has done post graduate work at the University of Chicago, and completed a year’s course in the Northwestern University Law School. He taught three years in the Milan, Illinois, schools, was Principal of Rochelle High School four years, and has just finished his second year in M. H. S. This year he has taught American History, Civics and Manual Training. We hope that the time will come when a Superintendent may be allowed to carry only that work and not be expected to teach classes.
