ll Mr. H. K. Whittier Principal 0 Mr. H. K. Whittier became principal of the Streator Township High School in December, 1935. He came to Streator in 1932 to become superintendent of the elementary schools. He still holds this position in conjunction with that of high school principal. Mr. Whittier earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the Western Illinois State Teachers Col- lege and his Master of Arts degree at the University of Iowa. Before coming to Streator, he held administrative positions in both elementary and secondary school sys- tems. Since coming to Streator, Mr. Whittier has become well known in the community. During the brief period he has been at his new assignment, he has shown himself to be capable and well qualified for his work. We know he will be very successful in the future. The Principal s Message O There is all the difference in the world between becoming well informed about science or history or literature or agri- culture or any of our organized subject matter fields, and becoming a better and greater personality because of having studied and worked within these fields. Real education takes place when there is a development of the individual in his abilities, skills, appreciations, attitudes, understandings, judgments, in his personality growth. To provide the oppor- tunities for such education is the function of the high school. The courses of study, the equipment, the activities, and the efforts of the school as a whole are merely the means or materials available through which the individual himself may promote his own education. H. K. Whittier.

Mr. C. L. .Tordan 0 Mr. Jordan came to Streator in 1933 from Waukegan, Illinois, where he was an assistant superintendent of the secondary schools. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois in engineer- ing and industrial courses. He earned a Master of Arts degree at the University of Chicago, in education and school administration. 0 Mr. Jordan was principal of Streator High School for a period of three yearsg during these years he did much for the general advancement and good of the school. He took many steps in raising the standards of scholarship and qualifications of leadership of the student body. He served the needs of the majority and arranged the curriculum to offer opportu- nities to every individual. Mr. Jordan, in the fall of 1935, resigned to take another position as principal of the du Pont Manual Training High School in Louisville, Kentucky. 0 The vacancy created by this resignation was very capably filled by Lowell Dale, who was acting principal until Mr. H. K. Whittier was appointed to the position. Mr. Dale has been head coach of Streator High School for seventeen years. He has won much popularity among the students and townspeople. Thus he was well qualified to accept the leader- ship of the school. Mr. Dale worked earnestly and diligently and is to be priaised upon the manner in which he so eiiiciently assumed this respon- si iity. Mr. Lowell Dale 10
