Page 6_________________PIONEER_______________May 22, 1943 Thumbnail SKETCHES The youngest principal in a Colorado high school in 1926 was Herbert K. Wal- ther , Amache junior .high principal, who was 19 years old. Even now, he is among the youngest school heads. Walther embarked on a ministerial career by at- tending St. Johns college, Winfield, Kans., but later decided he would be more valuable as a teacher. Since then, he has estab- lished the enviable record of 15 years of teaching in Colorado. His teaching has not been confined to sec- ondary schools as he has instructed at every college in this state. He attained his college education by working his way from a grocery store clerk to a printer's "devil." Subse- quently he received his BA in classical language and music at Denver U., and later acquired his MA in education at the same institution. For the past 10 years he was the secretary of the Colorado Music Edu- cators as- sociation. He is now the president. Music-minded, he is recog- nized as one of the foremost music instructors in this state. As a youth, he played in dance bands. Today, he is one of the ablest orators in this cen- ter. He has done an immeas- urable amount of work in the resettlement program by ac- quainting outside people with the evacuees. His immediate ambition is "to become a member of the commission for post-war education in Europe." Prob - ably John Addington Symond's verse, "The Days That Are To Be," best describes his philosophy: These things shall be-- a loftier race Than e'er the world hath Known shall rise With flame of freedom in the souls, And light of knowledge in their eyes. --Suyeo Sako SUMMER VACATION PLANS DISCUSSED Herbert K.
