MR. HARRY H. SEIDELL When the doors of Southwest High School opened for the first time on September 7, 1937, Mr. Harry H. Seidell was principal of the new school. Mr. Seidell graduated from Normal University at Lebanon, Chio, and then did graduate work at Humboldt College and Washington University. He taught at Humboldt College before coming to St. Louis in January 1905. From 1905 to 1917 he taught mathematics at Yeatman High School and from 1917 until 1934 he served as principal at Marshall, Lyons, Meramec, and Marquette elementary schools and Franklin Branch High School successively. He was supervisor of the Ninth Grade Centers at the time he became principal of South- west High School. On Wednesday, February 10, by order of the Board of Education, Mr. Seidell was again placed in charge of the Ninth Grade Centers where his absence had been sorely felt. The best Wishes of the entire school go with him. Fuse
