Page Eleven As Vice-Principal of Ottawa High School, Mr. Haworth has been enabled to come in contact with more students than he would as American His- tory instructor. Although he has not been con- nected with O. H. S. for so many years as has Supt. Senter and Principal Gowans, Mr. Haworth, during the eight years he has been here, has taken VICE-PRINCIPALS 4, g , 3 .vi I gl ,. li ri .i .,,. gn -iii, If gk? EW FN' fl . EL Qt .X E5 iw gl!

In his history classes, he has striven to instill in his pupils fair niindedness, truth, and the seeds of good citizenship. And in turn his pupils have ap- preciated his earnest interest, frank manner, keen interest, and sense of humor. For many years as Hi-Y sponsor, he has taken an active in- terest in promoting the work and interest of the boys of the school. In the summer, Mr. Haworth is head of the summer school session which was organized a few years ago. Apart from his school activity, he has taken a prominent position in the church and community of the city. Although this is but Professor Wilson's first year as principal of the junior high school, the faculty and student body have come to look upon him as one of them. The junior and senior high schools are so closely connected that he is thrown student body continually, with the high school and each student has learned to appreciate his spirit of interest and cooperation in the senior high school as well as junior high.
