SAM R. H I LL PRiNciPAL HE Ranger Song might have been made to order for Principa Sam R. Hill and his Cowboys, for these two, whether they meet in the halls, the locker room, the athletic field or on the dance floor, are all pals forever. lt is not at all uncommon to find him on the athletic field kicking a football, or in the gym dancing. Mr. Hill has been constantly influencing the students toward an ideal which he has for the school. He feels that students should govern their school by themselves, that recreation should supplement work, and that a pupil should at all times be a good sport. ' Outside of school Mr. Hill is a man's man. He enjoys hunting and fishing. During the summer Mr, Hill has lost many a fish in the streams of Southwestern Colorado, but has compensated for this loss by bagging many rattlesnakes. i
