Superintendent of Schools Mr. W. H. Kirk EW' people in this community have witnessed and, at the same time, played an important part in the development of our city and school. It has been with interest and enjoyment that Mr. VV. H. Kirk, Superintendent of East Cleveland Schools, has had this unique experience. After teaching for two years in a small-town high school in the central part of Ohio, Mr. Kirk, a graduate of Baldwin-1Vallace College, came to Shaw which was then an academy for both boys and girls. In that year of 1891, the student body of about forty pupils, and two faculty members, watched Mr. Kirk assume his position which included the offices of superintendent, principal, teacher and coach. Some of those subjects in wl1icl1 Mr. Kirk gave instructions were Greek, Latin, physics, geometry and chemistry. It was under the coaching regime of Mr. Kirk that the first football team was organized. In 1915, Mr. Kirk relinquished the position of principal of Shaw High School to Miss Josephine Barnaby to devote all of his attention to the position of Superin- tendent of East Cleveland Schools. Thus it has been in the otlicc of Superintendent of Schools, that we have known and loved this Hne gentleman. for whom the VV. H. Kirk Junior High School was named.
