Occt OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, MR. JOHNSON! On your first year as Principal of Russell High School—you have done a swell job—you have generously and wholeheartedly supported all our school activities— you have had patience which we did not often deserve. You have been firm, yet understanding. You have taught us the rules of good sportsmanship and loyalty. We think Russell High School is a better school for your being here.

“The needle's eye that does supply The thread that runs so true” I had one criticism to make of my teachers. I had heard a few of them say, “Oh, I’m just another schoolteacher!” This burned me up. I told my teachers never to say this. I told them to walk proudly, with their heads high, and to thank God they had chosen the teaching profession—the mother of all professions; that they were members working in the front line of American democracy, that they were the ground roots and not the brace roots of American democracy. I believed this deep in my heart and brain. That the teaching profession was the greatest profession of them all . . .
