HEADMASTER
With Wardlaw-Hartridge being eval­ uated this year, the entire school community has had to analyze its goals. Our headmaster, Mr. Prentice C. Horne, has his own philosophy about what Wardlaw-Hartridge should be. Since 1959 he has put that theory into effect through diligence and in­ telligence.
Mr. Horne had the following thoughts on Wardlaw-Hartridge and its students. “ As we rounded out our sec­ ond year of merger, I wondered how we would complete the circle of changing from a single sex education to co-education. The amazing thing is that boys and girls working together seem to reap the same or even greater rewards than they did separately. Our school should mean something special to every student, but that something should be different for each. Obvi­ ously, first of all everyone is a stu­ dent and it is our goal to prepare him as well as possible for the academic competition he will meet in college. But there is more to preparing for college. Colleges want candidates who have demonstrated their willingness to do something more. It is to this end that we strive to motivate every Ward­ law-Hartridge student.”
Mr. Horne has been very successful in molding the school into this ideo­ logy. His readiness to work to put this into effect has resulted in an effective educational community.
