THE SPOTLIGHT I EH- .ln .- ERNEST ILER, M. A. Ernest Iler, M. A. Mr. Ernest Iler came to Palatine as principal of the township high school with a fine record and in one year has more than lived up to his reputa- tion as a school administrator and friend of boys and girls. Mr. Iler has had wide experience in the field of school administration having served as super- intendent of large high schools in Iowa and Wis- consin as well as Illinois. Records show outstand- ing work in dramatics, music, debating and ath- letics in the schools under his supervision. He has done much to improve scholarship and the quality of work in extra curricular activities in Palatine. The policy of Palatine High under his guidance is a well rounded education which takes into account the fact that extra-curricular activi- ties contribute just as much or more than the sub- jects studied in the classroom. Mr. Iler is vitally interested in a good athletic program and has done much to assist Mr. Megel in the development of his department. His inter- est in music is shown by the glee club, band, and orchestra which have been organized with the two new teachers, Miss Cook and M1'. Kay, in charge. Probably Mr. ller's outstanding achievement of the year is in building up school spirit and morale. Good citizenship in the school as prepar- ation for responsible citizenship in the world of today is an ideal that has been promoted with encouraging results. Mr. Iler has won the respect and cooperation of both students and faculty. From the standpoint of education Mr. Iler is unusually well qualified as a school principal. He holds a Masters degree in Psychology and Educa- tion from the University of Chicago and has the equivalent of Doctor of Philosophy in the same field. P.T. H. S 1 9 3 4 The School Board Palatine Township High School has a pro- gressive board of education headed by A. R. Skib- be, who holds a high executive position with the Horder Stationery Company of Chicago. Mr. Skibbe is also a leader in other activities of the Palatine community. Wm. Mair in his first year as secretary of the board has been very active in improvement of the school. Mr. Mair is employed by the Bow- man Dairy Company. J. H. Toynton, druggist, is the local business man of the board. Mr. Toyn- ton has served several terms and has shown con- siderable interest in making Palatine's school a better institution. N. L. Thompson is employed by a Chicago hardware firm. Elected to the board a year ago, Mr. Thompson is not unfamiliar with school problems having served in similar capacity several years ago. Three progressive farmers have served as board members the past year and all have children enrolled in the high school. We speak of Dan Bergman Jr., J. H. Kreft and Wm. Neitz who have always been boosters for a good school. Mr. Kreft was re-elected this spring while Mr. Neitz declined to be a candidate due to duties as trustee in his own grade school district. Mr. Malody was elected to the vacancy. The board has co-operated with Mr. Iler in improving the standard of work done in the school and in repairing the building and beautifying the. grounds. The board has made the high school a community center through a liberal but well su- pervised use of community room, gymnasium, au- ditorium and athletic field. I-'rout How -A. ll.
