MR. E. R. SCHWINGER . . . MT. PLEASANT'S POPULAR PRINCIPAL We at Mount Pleasant feel that we have a fine school. Much of the success of a fine school depends on the kind of a principal the school has. We feel we have a truly fine person in that post. Mr. E. R. Schwinger, our tall, distinguished principal, has been at Mount Pleasant since l945. He received his B.S. degree from Shippensburg State Teachers College and also did graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers University, and the University of Delaware. Although he doesn't have much leisure time, Mr. Schwinger is interested in s electronics, woodworking and photography. He is now serving on the Executive Board of the Delaware Association of School Administrators and is immediate past President of the Brandywine Rotary Club. Mr. Schwinger is very interested in Student Council work and democratic techniques in School Administration. lt is a tribute to him that he is respected by the students and faculty. l l2
