Principals Have i Ji ,jf rx , NJN , . R. B. STAPLETON Principal of Senior High School Milllinburg High School A.B.. Bucknell University MA., Columbia University President of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Asso- cmtion Faculty Manager of Basketball WYE students of Senior High School are very proud to have as our prin- cipal a man who is outstanding not only in school affairs and in his own community, but also in the state. The same personality, helpfulness, and resourcefulness which have made him popular with people outside of school have made him well-liked and respected with his students. With Mr. Stapleton's assistance we have been able to carry on suc- cessfully many activities aiding the war effort. Because of his congenial manner, we have been able to ask him about our personal problems and plans. Because of his ability to make things run smoothly, we have usually found school a pleasant place. The school itself with its high standards of education and its alumni who have been successful in many fields proves his abilities in Tamaqua. The fact that he has been elected president of the P. I. A. A. for the fourth consecutive term proves that his abilities are in no way limited. Twelve
