Mr. Stewart enjoys his retirement Now that his official duties as principal are completed, Mr. Stewart is able to relax and en- joy his well-earned rest. In his new home in the suburbs he en- joys the pleasures of a peaceful family life. The television set given him by the school affords an opportunity for many hours of quiet enjoyment, while read- ing and writing also occupy his time. Outdoor work delights him, and he may also be seen busily engaged in his work shop. This year an outstanding honor came to Mr. Stewart when the degree of Doctor of Human Let- ters was conferred on him by Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio.

After many years of devoted service Above: Mr. Leonard P. Stewart The guidance and leadership of a remarkable man were lost when Mr. Leonard P. Stewart retired last spring as principal of Walnut Hills after eighteen years of devoted service. Mr. Stewart came to Cincinnati follow- ing extensive training at three universities. He served as Assistant Superin- tendent of Schools and principal of six Cincinnati schools before becoming principal of Walnut Hills. During his administration he was a friend and adviser to all. He has labored tirelessly to preserve Walnut Hills' education- al standards and has been rewarded by the success of innumerable gradu- ates. He has helped to maintain the spirit of the athletic teams and has encouraged participation in all extracurricular activities. We know that we can never repay a man who has helped us in so many waysg but in dedicating this annual to him and seeking to recall the advances made during his years as principal, we are expressing our gratitude and respect.
