as as ac... QFNIUFSS s e- e a e-. .. as .. PPRECI 'l'I0i OR the last three years Paul J. Misner has servefl as principal of Roosevelt School. Under his leadership there has been a subtle but sure growth. As in the case- of natural phenomena, this growth may have been almost impercept- ible to someg it may have seemed only the first slight twinees of necessary grow- ing pains to others. There has, however, been definite- evidences of progress, anld it has been that type of progress which fails to recognize any stopping' point. . Behind all this is Mr. Misner whom we know as our personal friend. He is recognized as a leader in the liel'l of progressive education. He holds out high ideals, puts into effect challenging projects, stimulates creative activity on the part of pupils and faculty, and throws himself into every Worthwhile enterprise with the enthusiasm of youth and the mature judgment of age. His ability to understand the problems oi' his students and his school have made his labor fruitful. His willingness to listen to both sides of a uuestion and to dispense impartial opinions and deci- sions have won for him the respect and admiration of all. This book stands as a record of his achievement. lt has been his aim to provide a medium for the creative ae- tivities of the students and at the same time present a vivid picture of school life. It is only through his contagious enthusiasm for a publication of this type and his ability to inspire his co- workers that this Hillcrest has been evolved.
