Hugh Stewart Magill, Jr. ln the fall of 1904, Hugh Stewart Magill, jr., of Springfield, Illinois, entered upon his work as principal of the Princeton Township High School. The service which he has rendered to our school, since his coming, can never be measured. It is largely due to his ambition and activity that we now have an enrollment of two hundred more than at his accession, a department of Domestic Science and also of Manual Training, complete and splendid equipment for our laboratories, a 5515.000 addition to our building and a. far reaching reputation as one of the best high schools in the state. Far greater and more vital, however, is the intluence and inspiration of his personality which every pupil feels. .X man of high ideals. convincing in precept and example, he has instilled into the hearts of the students, the desire Hnot only to be good but to be good for something. As a member of this community and as a citizen of this, his native state, Mr. Klagill is active in helping to upbuild social, political and moral life. His services, as principal, as a speaker on all subjects which concern the public good, as teacher of a large Meu's Bible Class. and as Senator from the thirty-seventh district. have inspired people with confidence in his knowledge. judgment and ability. No man in the community is more beloved and honored. Wie, the class of 1911, are grateful to have spent tive years in this school during his principalship, and wish to express our appreciation of his life and our hope to attain the high standards he has set before us.
