Franklin A. Miller Mr. Franklin A. Miller, our Supervising Principal holds an enviable record of service in Richland Township. Being a member of this community it was his honor to be one of the twelve freshmen in the first class to enter high school from this dis- trict, and he also holds the distinction of being among the first graduates from Richland Township High School in a class of three members. Mr. Miller received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, and at present is a candidate for his Doctorate in Education at the same institution. Apart from two years as a teacher in the East Conemaugh Borough Schools, Mr. Miller has served continuously in this district in one capacity or another, and has occupied the position of super- vising principal since 1936. He has watched the high school grow from its modest beginnings a few years ago to become one of the more important districts in Cambria County, and has helped direct it through several expansion programs. At present he is faced with the colossal task of providing adequate facilities for the rapidly growing student population. In spite of the many demands made upon him through his position as supervising principal, he has also found time to take an active part in many educational and service organizations, where he has frequently held important offices, and served on numerous important committee assignments. MR. LUNDQUIST Mr. Carl E. Lundquist, High School Principal, has been affiliated with educational work in Richland Township for the past twenty-one years. Most of this time has been in his present capacity as principal. When he first came to this community there were fifty-six students in the high school, and a senior class of six. Mr. Lundquist, who holds the Degree of Master of Education, came here as a teacher of English, and during his many years as principal he has continued to teach several English classes a day. The only extra-curricular student activities in his early years here were the iunior-senior play and basketball. The Washington trip was added, and since then he has witnessed and directed the in- auguration of one activity after another, until today Richland Township can boast of a well rounded prc-gram of student activities which mean so much in the growth and development of our youth. During the war years Mr. Lundquist responded to an appeal by our government for additional help in the various branches of governmental service and enlisted in the Merchant Marine. There he served his country for thirteen months as a Steward's Mate, 2nd Class. His several voyages, aboard troop and cargo transports, took him to England, France, Africa, and Italy.
