lt is with pride that the senior class dedi- cates this edition oi the Colophon to Dr. William D. Mullin, who has been principal of Hurst for the past twenty-tive years. Dr. Mullin's career has been symbolic oi Hurst. When he began to teach chemistry and physics in the high school in l922, there were only tour other teachers and the enrollment con- sisted ot only l22 pupils. Today there are 26 teachers and 668 pupils. Down through the years the school has not only increased its en- rollment and its stature, but has gained state- wide recognition for its growth and improve- ment. Hurst, steeped in tradition and her own personality, has become a school oi which to be proud. Much ot the credit tor the progres- sive development oi this township school may be attributed to the constant diligence and man- agement oi its principal. Two years aiter his arrival at Hurst, Dr. Mullin was elected principal of the school. He had received his Bachelor oi Science degree from Pennsylvania State College in l92l. Later, he attended summer school there and received his Master ot Science degree in l932. To ini- prove further his ability, he studied at the Uni- versity oi Pittsburgh from l932 until l94l and secured the degrees of Master ot Education and Doctor of Education. His hard work, devotion to duty, and determination to improve protes- sionally has paralleled the successful develop- ment ot Hurst. Dr. Mullin's interests in the community, state and nation, as well as in the school, are expressed by his membership in the Botary Club and National and State Education Asso- ciations. He is an honorary member oi Theta Xl Fraternity, a member oi the Doctoral Associa- tion oi the University oi Pittsburgh, a member ot the Board oi Directors oi the Erick Memorial Hos- pital and a director ot the Mt.
