Mosaic ANNUAL Superintendent Hotchkiss-1928 LIFE OF PROFESSOR HOTCHKISS Thirty-six years ago Professor Hotchkiss was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with his Bachelor of Arts degree. He received his M aster's degree at Columbia University, New York City, and later his Ph. D. degree at Deliver University, Denver, Colorado. After graduating from O. W. U., he was elected to the superintendency of schools at Mechan- icsburg, Ohio. After five successful years, he was called to the superintendency at Ashtabula, Ohio. Later, he was appointed to the position of assistant superintendent of schools at Cleveland, Ohio, which position he held for five years. He left the Cleveland school system to accept the position of Teacher Training at Colorado State Teachers' College, Greeley, Colorado. His next move was to the presidency of the Teachers' College, Kansas City, Missouri. After many years of successful teaching in high schools and colleges, he decided to leave the teaching profession and to accept a responsible position on the editorial staff of a publishing com- pany. He worked from the branch oflice at Columbus, Ohio. The depression caused this position to be abolished. It was thus that Green Township Public Schools were able to secure his services as superintendent. He is now closing the sixth year of successful leadership of the public schools of this township.

Club was organized in 1933 and now it has an enrollment of forty-five members. The purpose of our club is to encourage friendship and cooperation. Some of the activities of the club were our monthly meetings. Two of the topics were etiquette and voca- tions. The girls also had a style show at Smithville Inn in which the girls modeled the dresses they made in class. A large group of girls went to Wadsworth to the Regional Club meeting in which Jeannette Zimmerman was elected secretary. A large number of the Home Bc. girls attended the State Convention at Columbus this year. In addition to our candy selling the girls served the dinner for the Farmers' Institute. They also served the dinner for the Father and Son Banquet. There were various other organizations which were served din- ners by the club. The outstanding event of the year was the Mother and Daughter Banquet which was held April 29, at the Lutheran Church. The guest speaker was Mrs. Zella Lawrence whose topic was Problems of Youth. Parents. and Home.
