IIIGII SCll00L PRINCIPAL Mr. Robert Jordan has earnestly and faith- fully served West View High School for two years in the capacity of principal. He had previously taught commercial subjects here be- fore the war interrupted his teaching career. Mr. Jordan saw action in the European The- ater of Operations before his discharge and his return to West View. No sooner had he arrived than he was elevated to the position of principal, replacing Mr. Paynter who had been promoted to the supervising principal's office. The military experiences of Mr. Jordan have given him a better understanding of stu- dent problems and school difficulties. He is always willing to assist a perplexed student in every way possible. The Student Council has found a sympathetic listener and a reliable friend in Mr. Jordan. The Senior Class of 1947 is truly grateful to him for his numerous services. He has rendered service in all respects: discussions of college entrance, problems of employment, and many other ways. An avid and a profound interest in sports, classes, individual problems, and the many activities of the school is always shown by Mr. Jordan. The Class of l947 is thankful for the competent and understanding principal they were privileged to have.
