Lawrence 6. Hoover Dies;
( Central Highs Last Principal

The gentle, scholarly, silvery-
haired principal who closed the
doors of Central High School in
1850 for the last time is dead.
Lawrence G. Hoover, the last
principal of Central before the
school building at Thirteenth
and Clifton streets NV. was
turned over to Cardozo High
School, died yesterday in a
Maryland hospital. He was 50.
The prominent educator was
principal of Coolidge High
School when he retired in 1851
after 20 years in the District
public school system.
Mr.. Hoover, friends said, had
a kindlineSs and calmness that
he impaired to the school. He
never raised his voice and he
was never thought of as a nick
name because Of his dignity.
Could Show Tact
Besides being a natty but con-
servative dresser whose tie,
handkerchief and socks always
matched in color, Mr.. Hoover
was a man of understanding.
The story is told about the boy
cadet captain at Central whose
sweetheart was a girl cadet. They
were very much in love. Then for
a semester, the two were sep
arated when one was out of
town. Their reunion took place
at Central, and Mr.. Hoover hap
pened to be there when the
couple met for the first time
after the long absence. Some
how the clinch that ensued
didn't seem to blend well with
the sacred halls of Central and
Mr., Hoover ushered the couple
into his office.
"A man of smaller statue
would have handled the situation
differently" a friend said of Mr..
Hoover. "But Mr.. Hoover just
eased himself out of his room,
leaving the happy sweethearts to
say hello in the lonely confines
OF the principals Office"
Ardent Sports Supporter
Although he himself was not
an athlete, Mr.. Hoover ardently
supported sports at Central. He
called the pep rallies 'thuses'
and he was always the first one
in the dressing room to con-
gratulate the boys when they
won their games. With the same
spirit, he supported the cadet
competitive drills. He always
found time to make a personal
appearance at the smallest func-
ltion at the school.
Mr.. Hoover was noted for
something else. That was the
way in which he always chose
to close the school assemblies.
The words were always the same:
This ends the assembly"
But the intonations, pauses
and infections were different
each time. The students used
to wait, their attention held up
to the last minute, trying to
guess just how Mr.. Hoover would
speak his famous four words.

To Clean Up Virginia Rivers
Moore Heads Move,
Begun by Sportsmen.
To End Pollution
By j. IS Geory
AssociotsL ,sss Stoff Writer

"It really got started with the
fishermen" said a man whose
business it is to know about
fishermen. But he was talking
about virginia's official efforts
over the past II years to clean
up its polluted rivers.
A group of sportsmen, alarmed
that the once beautiful Shenan-
doah River was becoming unin-
habitable for fish, went to see
E. Blackburn Moore, a member
Of the House of Delegates and
high in the councils of the State
Democratic organization.
Mr.. Moore agreed to ask. for
a legislative study of pollution
in the State. The Legislature
went along, and Mr.. Moore was
appointed to the legislative study
commission and was made its
chairman. That was in 1914.
Today "Blackie" Moore. who
has since become Speaker of the
House, is an enthusiast-for pol
luton control. And as the dedi-
Gated chairman of the State
Water Control Board. he still
is the handspring behind the
cleanup that has been progress
ing for the past eight years in
Virginia's streams.
