School Under Leadership of William Crowell and Robert Paxton “No leader, however great a personality he may he, is as important to a people as their own intellectual development. Russell As the Assistant Principal of Sharon High School, Mr. Robert Paxton spends many hours consulting students. He listens to students' problems and makes decisions on their sometimes unconvincing excuses. Besides being a listener, he is also a disciplinarian. An unhappy part of his job is to occasionally reprimand or suspend a student for his unconventional behavior . Mr. Paxton was born on September 8,1910 in Canons-burg, Pennsylvania and attended Canonsburg High School. Some of his numerous qualifications for the position of our Assistant Principal are his degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State and Columbia University. His experience as a teacher covers a wide variety of subjects ranging from history, geography and algebra to chemistry, physics and German. After school hours his interests include photography, music and bridge. BELOW: Mr. Paxton consults with Mr. Bennett, guidance counselor. 19
