Pilots Our Course lVIr. J. Charles Wanamaker, Principal of Phillipsburg High School, has watched Time and the River for eight years. Never standing on the banks to Watch only, lVlr. Wanamaker has continually guided hundreds of students in their high school trips ' on the river. This year one of Mr. Wanamakefs most important visions of the river became a realityg namely, the accreditation of Phillipsburg High School by the Middle States Association. Together with plans for developments of school grounds and homogenious group- ing, lVlr. Wanamaker is a busy schoolman. But our principal is conscious of the towns along the river.
