Mr. Johnston 1 ROBABLY no teacher in Newark High School is more popular Mr. Reed S. Johnston. Although Mr. Johnston has been in this school for only four years he has had much experience in teachingl He was superintendent of the Summit Station school for only four years he has already had much experience at teaching. He was superintendent of the Summit Station School for nearly nine years, and just previous to his coming here he held the same position at Hazelwood School. Among the subjects which Mr. Johnston has taught are Geometry, - N' X Physics, Algebra and Arithmetic. Mr. Johnston is a graduate xg ,ff Y X 5 of Ohio University at Athens, Ohio. 'fit L In spite of the short time that he has been among us, he if has already honored the school by his name and his efforts. il Those who have been in Mr, .Tohnston's classes cannot help but be impressed by his systematic methods, his interest in his work, and the fact that no matter how busy he may be he can always find time for individual help. Mr. Johnston's session room seems to profit by his example, having held the school savings banner for a great part of the last two years. I However, in addition to his other duties Mr. Johnston has found time, or rather, literally taken time from his sleeping hours during the last three years to render a great service to the school and to bring honor to it that is inestimable. No one except those who have worked under Mr. Johnston as a debate coach can fully realize the responsibility which he assumed and the Work he has done. The debating prestige of Newark High School in the last three years has, under his supervision, risen to an almost infinite height. Outside the Triangular Debating League there have been sev- eral challenges come to Mr. Johnston to match his teams against some of the best High School teams in the State of Ohio. These challenges were not taken up, not be- cause of the fear of defeat, but because of the fear of over-working members of the teams. In summarizing Mr. Johnston's debate work thus far, one may say that he has won four victories and suffered two defeats which may be reconciled by the fact that last year all three affirmative teams lost, while this year all three negative teams lost. Due to Mr. Johnston's efforts Newark High is holding a good lead over Mt. Vernon and Zanesville. One fact remains, therefore. Newark High School has in its faculty a teacher who is as near ideal as can be found anywhere, and one who will always be remembered by his students, even to the day when they have grown gray in rendering their many diHerent services to mankind.
