Marine Captain John P. Collins
Named Eastern High Principal
Veteran Says War
Taught Him Need
Of Peaceful Livinq'

John Paul Collins, 48, who was
discharged recently after two years
with the Marines invading Pacific
islands, has become principal of
Eastern High School. On opening
day one student remarked. Won
der if he'll treat us like Marines?"
After two weeks of school the stu
dents have the answer to that.
Marines are, what he doesn't
want us to be- a pupil said. He
wants us to go to class regularly and
live PEACEFUL"
Mr.. Collins said today that the
Importance of living peaceful is
what, he learned in the inyasions of
the Gilberts, Guam, Tinian, Saipan
and Two Jima. He saw boys aged
beyond their years. He wants his
students to go to class now with
no Interruptions, no war activities
to make them restless"
For one year I want them to
shut out the war world and get
back their balance" he said
There's been too much pressure on
these children-unavoidable, < but
still pressure that robs them Of the
educational quiet they ought to
have"
Learned Ideas in Marines.
After the peaceful year Mr. Col
Inns has some other ideas he got
from the Marines Gtilat he would
like to put into practice. He wants
all his students to take a lot more
physics and math to help them
with postwar inventions. He wants
them to study languages to help
them around the postwar world.
His own anguages-French, Ger
man and Spanish-were Invaluable
to him as the first of eight Allied
Military Government officers the
Navy had in the Pacific.
One day on Saipan, for example
Capt. Collins found 5000 civilian
prisoners VINO had been construct
ing ammunition depots for the jap
anese. They could not understand
his Japanese and he did not know
their island jargon. Then through
one who knew Spanish, the former
Marine captain was able to flash to
the invasion commander the depot
locations.
Weapons to Fight World.
"Giving these kids weapons to
fight the peacetime world with
languages, electronics, knowing all
about plastics-that's what want
to devote my life to-" he said.
A veteran of % years in the
school system, Mr.. Collins was prin-
cipal of Anacostia High School when
he was called to active duty with
the Marines in 1912. On his return
last July the Board of Education
appointed him to succeed Charles S
Hart, for 81 years principal OF
Eastern
MIR. Collins, who lives at 4003
Twenty first street NE, wears four
campaign stars and the presidential
citation awarded to the 4th Marine
Division after Saipan. Sometimes he
forgets to wear his gold discharge
button, but the teachers say that
doesn't matter.
THE students knows where he's
been" one said. you can tell by the
way they quiet down when he walks
in the room.''
