 MANOAH R. REITER THE SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Mr. Reiter has been the man behind the scenes in Morrisville High School since his appointment to the Supervising Principalship. From his office in his- toric Summerseat he guides the policies of the schools in Morrisville. He came to us in 1927 with a degree from Muhlenberg College and several years experi- ence in his chosen profession. Many changes brought about in the system in the last ten years may be traced to the influence of this fine educator. The more tangible memorials are the beautification of the grounds of the schools—especially Robert Morris High School—the new athletic field, the restoration of Summerseat. Mr. Reiter’s interest in the beautiful has made him tireless in his efforts toward making our school grounds attractive and keeping them so. Pride in possession leads to pride in upkeep and our Supervising Principal has done much toward giving us pride in possession. In all questions of policy which arose in our Senior year, Mr. Reiter was the final authority. We have realized more and more through our contacts with him how fairly earned is his reputation for being a just man. He has cooperated with us to the fullest extent. Though few of us have had the privilege of knowing him personally, we regret leaving him, for he represents that order, that justice, which typifies our school.

M-otth E. LEONARD CAUM THE PRINCIPAL Mr. Caum, a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College and Columbia University, came to the principalship of Morrisville High School through the ranks.” He was a teacher here for five years before being appointed Principal in 1933. Because of this experience, Mr. Caum has a more penetrating understanding of our problems and a more vital interest in them. His approach to all our prob- lems is that of a teacher, administrator and friend. His interests are wide and varied. Besides being an expert and enthusiastic amateur photographer himself, he has helped to train ethers in this very enjoyable pastime. His help in the Senior High Camera Club has been much appreciated. Drama is another of Mr. Caum’s specialties. He has always been active in the dramatics of Morrisville High School, and is a charter member of the Little Theatre group started last year. As a planner of trips and manager of excursions he is tops.” His help on the planning of the Washington trip and his presence in Washington added much to the pleasure and profit which the class derived from it. It is to Mr. Caum that most of our difficulties and troubles are taken. He is always willing to advise and help any student who comes to him. Beth as Prin- cipal and counselor, we honor him and wish to express our sincere gratitude for the help he has given us throughout our High School course.
