A Tribute to Mr. R. A. Deen.
In February of 1923, Mr. R. A. Deen, superintendent of the
Mineral Wells City Schools, tendered his resignation to the School
Board. This was a terrible shock to the town as a whole for Mr.
Deen's supervision of the City Schools has indeed been a wonderful
success in the town and in the High School, especially in the Senior
Class will he be missed.
When Mr. Deen came to Mineral Wells from New Mexico, our :I
schools were in a very unsettled state, but he immediately began !I
straightening affairs and for three years our school has been running
smoothly. Today our High School is considered one of the best of its
size in the state of Texas.
"Take your troubles to Mr. Deen" has been a slogan of the
high school, for never is he too busy to help one out of trouble, or
talk to one of the welfare of the school. He has always listened to
the students troubles and for this interest in them and for many other
reasons do the boys and girls love him.
During Mr. Deen's superintendency many honors have been
bestowed upon him and also upon the schools. Many high school
subjects have been granted state affiliations through Mr. Deen's keen
interest and work. It was through him that the Home Economics and
Spanish courses were established.
Mr. Deen will be an asset to any place he may go, and it will be
their gain and our loss. Having made a name for himself in Mineral
Wells he will carry with him their appreciation and regard through
his walks of life.
