MR. W. D. GAMBLE A When we boast of the fine educational system in our city we are paying tribute to the efforts of Mr. Gamble. Since coming to Sharon High as principal in 1910, Mr. Gamble has worked unceasingly for the betterment of our public schools. We shall always point with pride not only to his achievements as a most able Superintendent of Sharon public schools, but to his many deeds of service to the people of Sharon. In addition to his work as superintendent of our schools, Mr. Gamble is prominent in many civic undertakings. He presides over the Board of Directors of Buhl Hospital, serves as an officer of the United Presbyterian Church, and holds membership in the local Rotary Club. He also holds a life membership in the National Education Association, which honor was tendered him several years ago by the teachers of Sharon High School. Mr. Gamble is a graduate of Westminster College, where he has received a Doctor of Philosophy Degree. Mr. Gamble's outstanding work as an educator has brought 'him a great many favorable comments, and much well-earned praise for his significant achievements. MR. P. A. IONES A high school can be successful only as the guiding hand of its principal makes it so. The long record of achievements that Sharon High School has made in many Helds is only a partial indication of the individual success of Mr. Iones in his work as principal. Mr. Iones came to us from Martin's Ferry, Ohio, in 1914. He saw the school grow from 392 to 1509 pupils. When he retumed as principal, after three years with the Chamber of Commerce, he came to a school so crowded that even with the use of basement store- rooms it was necessary to run two separate sessions every day. In this situation, Mr. Iones worked enthusiastically for a new school building. In this new school, he helped establish a much-needed Commercial Department. Largely through his efforts, also, the stadium, public address system, and equipment for visual education were added. Mr. Iones played a leading part in establishing Music-Literary meets. He supported school athletics and headed the state athletic association. Because of his sympathy and understanding, Mr. Iones enjoyed a close friendship with the students, and the full co- operation of the faculty and student body. His aim in everything he did was all-around efficiency for Sharon High School. MR. C. M. MUSSER Although he had held his position of Vice-Principal for less than a year, Mr. Musser had already achieved success as an outstanding administrator before he was called to execute the duties of Principal. Since assuming his new duties, Mr. Musser has made every effort to pursue the policies that the school has followed in the past. Previous to this year, Mr. Musser taught History and Problems of Democracy for several years at our high school. Before coming here, he taught at Boswell, Pa., and served as assistant principal at Canonsburg, Pa. Mr. Musser received his Bachelor's Degree at Lebanon Valley College, and his Master's Degree at Washington and Iefferson. He has also done graduate work at the University of Pittsburgh. Knowing of his good work as an in- structor, we were well pleased to see Mr. Musser join the administrative staff of our school. His genial personality has been a big asset in his new work, and he has continued to strengthen the bond of good-feeling that exists between himself and the student body. A
