T. R. SMITH The Tm stands for Theodore, but the R remains a mystery in Mr. Smith's initials. He has kept this secret during his 15 years as principal of Selah high. During this time he has been tops as an administrator, and at the same time he has been a student of new ed- ucational methods. Since he doesnlt relish tardiness on the part of students, some Selah boys and girls have been at the receiving end pf a blunt, informative sentence, You're ate! He has his soft side, though, especially around good music, and he is an able gard- ener. He studied at the University of Idaho and the University of Washington. Before coming to Selah he was principal and math teacher at Mullan, Idaho, high school, for five years, coach and manual arts teacher at Stan- Wood, Wash. With a yen for poetry he is well qualified to teach English, and he has taught social science in Selah. J. M. CAMPBELL A rapidly growing and progressive com- munity such as Selah requires a leader who builds for the future, and for 15 years Mr. Campbell, our superintendent, has been Work- ing hard to develop the Selah school system into one of the most up to date in the state. Believing that pupils benefit by larger and better schools, he has been a power in the consolidation of Selah valley schools. The system he heads today is a far cry from the little schoolhouse where he first taught back in the Cumberland mountains in Tennessee. Mr. Campbell likes children, and the teach- ers like him. His aggreeable personality takes him far towards the success he enjoys. He at- tended the Universities of Idaho and Wash- ington and Marysville College. Hobbies? Yes, he has them, but they are seasonal affairs with him. In fall he is a hunter, in spring he likes to go fishing, and in winter his main pleasure is to sit in front of a fire with a good book. ln summer, he's an orchardist, if thatls a hobby.
