FIVE-YEAR-OLD QUINTON places a dollop of white glue on a piece of blue construction paper and carefully places a cotton ball on top.

"I'm making a cumulous cloud." The energetic kindergartener tells a very special visitor to his classroom who, in turn, enthusiastically praises the young boy's efforts. The special visitor is Douglas Brengel, managing director of Solomon Smith Barney, one of Los Angeles' largest investment firms. Brengel, along with nearly 300 leaders in the business and entertainment community chose to move from the board room to the classroom last Thursday to become a Principal for a Day.

"These students are incredibly engaged," Brengel said, while helping a group of second graders figure out the profit margin on fictitious school supplies as part of their math assignment. "This is my second year as a principal for a day and I am really enjoying it."
