Administration HOMER M. LOWRY, Principal WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL High school days will never 'Fade so tar away that a memory can not be re- called of a day when Mr. Kelley called some student to his oFFice, for he, it was, who handled the disciplinary problems ofthe school. The Pennsylvania School Code book was his most valuable posssesion, and the sections therein were the answer to many a problem. Others of his duties are the handling of the book inventory and the administering of various apti- tude tests. A principal must have extraordinary patience and understanding as well as the ability to carry on the administrative duties ot a school. Such qualities are ex- hibited in the personage of Homer M. Lowry, principal of Washington High School. He has been generous with his time and etiforts to make our school lite hap- pier and more successful. His oFFiciaI title cloes not exclude him from a close rela- tionship with the students, but instead he has shared with us the thrills and dis- appointments of the year. SHELDON KELLEY, Assistant Principal WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL

He and his two capable secretaries keep the wheels of the school system functioning smoothly and efficiently. The pupil who wishes working papers must visit his office.
