New Sterling Township High superintendent appointed
The District 300 Board named Dr. Richard F. Klahn to succeed Dr. Plath as superintendent of Sterling Township High School. Klahn, from Iowa, will assume duties July 1965 after serving as Shorewood High principal since 1962 and teaching at Wisconsin University summers. He holds a Ph.D. in 1965 and a MA in 1962. The article lists Klahn’s past roles and family plans in Sterling. It also notes 1965 Junior‑Senior Prom chairmen and Post Prom Party committee work, ending with a joke about a tiger returning to its tigress smelling of gasoline.
