MR. MACE SPANCLER, vice-principal of Northeast, was born in Champaign, Illinois, graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1928, and received his M.A. in 1936 He has served as principal of high schools in Wellston and Comanche, Oklahoma, also as principal at Taft in Oklahoma City. An interesting part of Mr. Spangler’s career has been spent in the armed forces. He has risen from private to Lieutenant Colonel in World Wars I and 11 and has been a member of the Infantry, National Guard, and Air Forces. We share his services now with the 310th , Air Division, for which he is executive officer. It is his philosophy of education that each student in the public schools be taught to live in a democracy with respect for the rights of others. MR. J. B. GREENE, principal of Northeast, was born in Robert Lee, Texas, and was graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1931. He received his M.A in 1937 from Columbia University, and has completed further graduate work from A M and OU. Mr. Greene was a classroom teacher in the Oklahoma City public schools ten years prior to four years' service as vice-principal at Irving and Harding. But that which means the most to us at Northeast is his service as principal here for the twelve years since the opening of the school. He has dreamed and worked toward the realization of a high school that would meet the needs of the students and citizens in this community. His philosophy is that our education should provide op- portunity for each student to receive instruction and guidance to fit his industrial need, personal evaluation, and self-realization through democratic procedures.
