For fifteen years Mr. K. J. Clark was principal of Murphy High School. We found him a wise and courageous leader, calm and steadfast in perilous times. We learned to respect him for his sane judge- ment, his integrity, his unswerving loyalty to his convictions; we learned to love him for his sincerity, his great kindliness, his unfailing sympathy and understanding. We regret that his position as assistant super- intendent of schools will remove him from Murphy, but we rejoice that his new work offers him even greater opportunities for friendships and for service. —Tribute by Miss E. Lura Moore. 19
