Mr. H. Lee Angus former principal and mathematics and physics instructor suffered a severe heart attack in January. As a result, he decided that retirement was in order, so ten- dered his resignation to the school board in March. Coming from Kirksville to the Niantic-Harristown High School in 1954, he served most efficiently as principal for a year and a half. A heart attack then forced him to resume regular classroom duties the following year. Mathematics and physics were his classroom assignments, where in math he introduced a five year program for college bound stu- dents, encouraged participation in the national math com- petition, and challenged his students constantly with ad- vanced work. In the physics class his students successfully fired per- haps the first rocket in any high school science project in the area. Each year he took many students to the engineer- ing open house at the U. of I. and to the science fair where he often served as a judge. He encouraged much research work in the field of science and made each student feel his worth, that doing his very best was important. The Student Council, too, was close to his heart. He or- ganized the council soon after he came to the high school, and its work has been far-reaching in the school life. Help- ing with homecoming plans, the Student Council sponsored the queen contest where“each girl was a queen” to Mr. Angus. And perhaps he felt no greater pride than when he escorted our Kathy McCammack to be crowned queen in the Meridian Conference queen contest just this year. MR. ANGUS RETIRES AFTER LONG CAREER Some of the many Student Council sponsored activities with Mr. Angus at the helm were: the purchase of the hon- or’s bulletin board, the podium and steps for the new stage, the large commercial size screen for the gym, the carry-voice, and securing of many outstanding school assem- blies which the council sponsored each year. Plans were also made and put into action for a Student of the Month com- mittee to honor an outstanding student of our school. The national recognition for “his distinguished teaching” was awarded him the Valley Forge Medal at a special “Lee Angus Night” sponsored by the PTA October 21,1963. Mr. Angus was also active in the teachers association, serving as county president as well as being on the delegate assembly for several years. He has been active in community work as he served his church capably and other community organizations willingly and enthusiastically. The school will miss Mr. Angus. He had a very personal concern for the individual student; a devotion to the arts and skills of teaching; an enthusiastic interest in sports; a ready wit—always ready with a good story;a congenial friendliness that endeared him to all;a dignity which made him respect the students, and he, in turn, won their loyalty and respect-a true educator. We will miss this influence and guidance of a friend With whom we all have worked for a while But our lives are richer for this friendship so true For the touch of the hand and the infectious smile.
