Mr. George L. Morton, the versatile ex-principal of South Houston High, with his winning personality has earned the respect and admiration of all. After graduat- ing from Sam Houston State Teachers College, he served in the Pacific with the Marines. He received his M.Ed, degree from the University of Houston after the war. As a teacher he began as a junior high coach in Galveston. Soon afterwards he moved from assistant coach to high school counselor, then on to assistant principal, finally becoming principal of Ball High School. When Mr. league was chosen as Assistant Superintendent of Secondary School Education, Mr. Morton ' s qualifications made him an excellent choice for the vacant position of principal here. After the beginning of this school year, Mr. Morton received the deserved opportunity of holding the posi- tion of Dean of Men at Sam Houston State Teachers College. Naturally, Mr. Morton decided to move a step further by applying his efforts toward a new task. The students at South Houston will never be able to forget such an understanding, and devoted man as Mr. George L. Morton. Mr. Morton gets a hand of approval as he encourages school spirit by speaking at the Ball High pep rally. 294
