n 0 OUR PRINCIPAL MR. WILBUR H. WRIGHT Mr. 'Wilbur H. WV right, who has been principal of Parker High School since October 14, 1924, and who took the place of our former principal, Mr. Charles H. Perrine, came to us directly from the William Henry Gladstone Grammar School. Before his principalship at Gladstone, Mr. Wright served as principal of the Grant Grammar School, and previous to occupying this position, he was for seven years assistant principal of the McKinley High School. For several years before becoming assistant principal of McKinley, he taught biology and chemistry there. In connection with his work at the Gladstone School, Mr. Wright also served as principal of the Brainard Grammar School, a branch of Gladstone, and as prin- cipal of the Juvenile Detention Home. Mr. VVright is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He spent an additional year at Illinois in the study of law, and has also done graduate work at the Universities of Cornell and Chicago. Although Mr. Wright has been with us less than a year, in that short time he has won the honor and respect of both the faculty and the students, because of his fairness and his high ideals. He is always ready to encourage the promotion of any activity that he thinks will be helpful to the welfare of the school. His untiring efforts already have begun to bear fruit. .14
