,-444Zeq 7 pifltdgdf Wa? Ashley T. Conrad was born in Bloomfield, Iowa, and has been active as a teacher during his entire life. He began his teaching, after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University. His first school was in St. Joseph, Michigan, where as a Science teacher, he taught all the science classes, physi- ology, biology, chemistry, physiography and physics. He remained there one year. Then he was elected to a position as a teacher of biology and physiology in the Blaine High School, Superior. This high school lwas the one thatl preceded the present Central High School. During that time there were enrolled many people now prominent in the civic and business life of our city. Then he accepted a position in the science department at the New Trier Township High School, La Grange, Illinois. During his summer vacations he attended the graduate school of the University of Chicago, studying the sciences under such well known teachers as Dr. Coulter, Dr. Land and Dr. Chamberlain. He then transferred to the Wendell Phillips High School and later to the McKinley High School, Chi- cago, Illinois. While teaeching in Chicago he was elected to the principalship of the Nelson Dewey High School, Superior. This occurred in January, 1911. During his principalship in this community he has seen the present Superior East High School take the place of the old Nelson Dewey High School building. He has seen the senior class grow from an en- rollment of nine 119121 to one of one hundred and thirty-three seniors l1937l. The school plant has grown from a combination of high school, grades, and kindergarten to the present high school of thirty class rooms, complete with library, home economics, manual arts, graphic arts, audi- torium and a gymnasium equal, at that time, to any found in the surrounding area. Of his thirty-three years as principal much more can be said, but the visible signs of East High's growth under his administration are many and wide spread. During this time twenty-three hundred and twenty-five students will have finished the high school course at the two high schools. Graduates may now be found in almost very occupation. Many of these men and women are serving in our armed forces at home and abroad, and even on the seven seas. In concluding his administration at East High School, he has this to say: I can only express my heartfelt appreciation to all those who have so ably served under my supervision during these many years, and especially to those loyal and faithful teachers who have been my co-workers.
