Administration Mrs. Foil, Miss Brown, Miss Gaston. Miss Jakobik For thirteen years, under the guiding spirit of a splendid administration, Murphy High School has grown in size, educational advantages, and national reputation. Founded in 1926, when Barton Acad- emy, the city high school, was converted into a junior high, Murphy, then known as Mobile High School, had as its principal Mr. Frank Grove, who was succeeded in 1927 by Mr. K. J. Clark, our present principal. During Mr. Clark’s administra- tion several noteworthy changes has been intro- duced into the school curricula, outstanding among these being the vocational system put into practice last year by which students may receive training in their chosen vocations along with regular school work. Invaluable as an aid to Mr. Clark in her capacity as assistant principal and as an inspiration to the students is Miss Mae Fanes, a fitting leader, ever an exponent of good sportsmanship. Under these two heads the office force forms a smoothly functioning executive group worthy of managing a school as Murphy High. Other members who comprise in its entirety the force, are well-liked and capable Mrs. Wilmer Fell, registrar; Miss Effie Lou Brown, private secretary to Mr. Clark; Miss Willie Mae Gaston and Miss Elsie Jacobik, clerks.
