Mr. Carl H. Townsend Principal Administration ldeally, the principal of a high school should be a man who possesses many qualities. He should have tact, friendliness, understanding and a sense of humor. His interest in his Work, his teachers, and his students should be, at all times, sincere. He should handle dis- ciplinary problems in a manner to command respect. WVe, the graduating class of 1960, have had such a principal. Now that we are leaving Senior High, we are beginning to realize how important a part Mr. Townsend played in shaping our lives, not only as students, but as individuals. His policy has always been that of 'cthe open door. He has given of himself in a way that we shall never forget. He has command-- ed our respect, our admiration, and above all-our liking. XVe believe him to be our friend. Mr. Townsend was born in Arcanum, Ohio. He at- tended Ohio University, where he earned an A.B. degree. He received his M.Ed. degree from the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. His hobby is camping, and his talent, we believe, lies with people. Mr. Townsend is capably assisted by Mr. Townley and Mr. Kaufman.
