OUR SUPERINTENDENT We, the Woodrow Wilson class of 1942, give greeting to Mr. Bowman, who in June, completes his first year as superintendent of the Youngstown schools. In his brief term of service, he has set a high stand- ard of student efficiency through the sound scholarship that must relate itself to life situations at a critical period of world peril. Superintendent Bowman ' s background makes for awareness and authority in his guidance. He has had a broad and successful experience in handling responsible school groups. To each issue he brings the moral fiber of an upright nature, the intellectual integrity of a dis- ciplined mind, and a humane outlook. We are honored to have studied under his leadership.

OUR PRINCIPAL Woodrow Wilson ' s first and only principal, George W. Glasgow, was born in Kirksville, Missouri. He was graduated from Macon High School and ihe University of Missouri, where he edited SAVITOR, the University year- book, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts the same year. After teaching English and history there for one year, he became principal of Shelbyville High School. Then followed a brief try at newspaper work in Los Angeles and San Francisco, which post he gave up to teach English and coach football in a Los Angeles high school. With his bride from Macon, Missouri, Mr. Glasgow next left for Quincy, Illinois, where he entered the insurance business, giving up his work to superintend the schools of Republic, Kansas. He remained for four terms in this position which he resigned to attend Columbia University, New York City. He received his Master ' s degree at the end of a year ' s study in that institution. Mr. Glasgow then came to Youngstown as principal of Washington elementary school, a position which he held until the completion of Woodrow Wilson, two years later; coming to Wilson Junior High as its first principal. He organized this school always with the idea that it should eventually develop into a senior high school. After ten years of planning, Wilson became a full-fledged senior high school, graduating its first class in June, 1939. About eight thousand students have attended Wilson during its fourteen years of existence. The success which is Wilson ' s is due to the hard work and foresight of Mr. Glasgow and a cooperative teaching corps. Wilson ' s faculty presented Mr. Glasgow with a Life Membership in the National Educational Association. He also is a member of the Phi Delta Kappa profes- sional fraternity. Mr. Glasgow has two children: Mrs. Robert Brook, Boardman, and Richard, a student at Case School of Applied Science. He resides at 3935 Southern Boulevard, with his wife and son. Vitally interested in community growth, Mr. Glasgow ' s chief concern is to develop Wilson boys and girls into able citizens, fitted to take their places responsibly in all walks of life. t Page Eight (C«-
