For eight years Mr. Misenar has been superintendent at St. Clair. Those years have seen the erection of one of the best equipped modern high schools in the state, credit for which is due largely to the efforts of the superintendent. Students, faculty, and townspeople wish to express their appreciation of Mr. Misenar ' s work and wish him success when he enters the field of business next fall.
