One of the highest goals in life is to attain a higher education. ln- structing so many students on the road to education is too much for one individual, and so Hoyt Dean, assistant principal, helps with this task of instruction. As principal of the Summersville Grade School, he starts many of the students on the long iourney over the roads of edu- cation. Mr. Dean is a graduate of Rich- wood High School, and furthered his education at Glenville State Teachers' College where he re- ceived an AB degree. He also at- tended West Virginia University and Marshall College. Before assuming the duties of grade school principal, Mr. Dean taught driver education and seventh and eighth grade history and geo- graphy. He is very active as coach for the grade school basketball teams. Remember that from these young explorers will come the cham- pions of future years. Mr. Dean is a member of the Richwood Chapter of the Masons and the Richwood Baptist Church. He is also a former member of the Lions and Rotary clubs. As Tests, Words of Advice Are Given Throwing a wet towel across the dressing room and shouting, Nice game, rinkydinksf' is typical ofthe humor in varsity athletic coach, James S. Gladwell, who also assumed the duties of as- sistant principal this year. Mr. Gladwell began his teaching career here in 1950 as assistant, or B-team, coach, and has since become varsity coach. An ardent sponsor of the iunior class and the N-Club, he also teaches world history and physical education. Fairmont being Mr. Gladwell's home town, he naturally attended Fairmont State Teachers' College from which he holds an A.B. degree. He then at- tended West Virginia University, where he received an M.S, degree. During the summer months, Coach, may be seen at the swimming pool where he manages the Nicholas Memorial Park. Besides golf and hunting, Coach also has another very important hobby-baby sitting. He is married and the father of three children-two girls and a boy. 11
