 Mrs. Lillian Saxum DR. DONALD M. PRINCE Principal We members of the Class of 1960 wish to thank Dr. Prince for all he has done for our class. Dr. Prince first came to Princeton the year we were freshmen, so we learned together. He attended Illinois State Normal Univer- sity. He received his bachelor’s degree at Mur- ray State College of Kentucky and his master's and doctor’s degree at the University of Illinois. He taught in Norris City and Crossville, was a part time staff member at the University of Illi- nois, and taught a summer course at Appala- chian College. Before coming to Princeton, he served as principal at Knoxville High School. Dr. Prince will always be remembered as our friend as well as our able principal. We also wish to thank Mrs. Lillian Saxum, secretary to the principal. Her unending pa- tience and attention to duty keep our school running as it should. Page 11

School Board In recent years our Princeton High School Board of Education has had to hold many extra meetings, and remain in conference extra long hours, with many heavy decisions to make. Planning and completion of the new addition to P.H.S., and the remodeling in the old building, presented many difficult problems. Board members worked hard to plan build- ing accommodations for enrollment needs of the future as well as of the present. Facilities in our new addition include a new chorus-English class- room, an art room, industrial arts classrooms and shop, agriculture classroom and shop, band room, cafeteria-study hall, and Prouty Gym. In the old building remodeling has provided for ex- pansion of the speech-English accommodations, expansion of business education space, and a new library. Our board members were alert to both pres- ent and future needs of our school, and they were consequently able to insure the offering of a sound program of studies in a physical plant that allows for class size convenient for the purpose of giving individual attention to stu- dents. We students of P.H.S. wish to say “thank you” to these gentlemen for their time, energy, and wisdom spent in planning and completing our new addition and our remodeling, and at the same time taking care of the routine business necessary for the efficient operation of our school.
