Hi Elizabeth, I've looked all over my 1907 West Side commencement article (and surrounding pages) but can't find the name of the principal. Isn't that odd, that his name isn't mentioned in the graduation announcement? Here's what I did find: East Batavia School Teachers: LF Wentzel - Superintendent CH Bramer - Principal High School Emily R Johnston - Science Vivian Jarvis - Latin Madge Grimes - 7th and 8th grade L Vivian Jarvis - 5th and 6th grade Retta Kuhn - 4th and 5th grade Mary Fitzgerald - 3rd and 4th grade Margaret Nolan - 3d grade Nellie K Netzley - 2d grade Emma J Lemley - 1st grade Just another limb, Laura search for fallen leaves at http://home.attbi.com/~branchingout ----- Original Message ----- From: Rea7669@aol.com To: ILKANE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2003 10:03 PM Subject: [ILKANE] Westside School I have been looking for information about my gg-grandfather Oren Theodore Snow who was supposed to have been principal of Batavia High School in the 1800s. Is it possible that he was principal of Westside instead? He was probably in the job after 1880 as the census simply gives his position as school teacher. Elizabeth in Florida.
