W. C. ttTop Taggart . . . W. C. Top Taggart . . . . . . is a believer in the value of persistent hard work and determined individual enterprise. He believes in the worthi- ness and essential goodness of his fellowman. His credo you have to be only half as smart if you work twice as hard is his quippish way of spelling out the secret of much of his personal success. His eminent suc- cesses in the gas and oil industry of Michigan serve as punctuation marks for his philosophy of hard work. Top Taggart, as he is affection- ately known, is a believer in his home town of Big Rapids. His various acts of helpfulness to fellow citizens and community betterment-both known and unknown - stand as eloquent testimony of this belief in the town he calls home. He believes in his Alma Mater- Ferris Institute, its students, its faculty, and its leaders. He has given support to the college as Chairman of the Board of Trustees when it was in dire need of an effective leader during depression days. He has, upon sev- eral occasions, given financial assist- ance to the college in many different ways. His generosity made our stadium a reality. Talk with him for five minutes and he will sell you Ferris Institute all over again. He is a believer because, funda- mentally, he is a devout man in his personal life. He is thankful to the Almighty; his belief in people, values, and institutions stems from his sense of personal obligation that man was made not to live selfishly within him- self. Top Taggart has been bestowed many honors by Ferris and others ap- preciative groups throughout the states. We, as students of Ferris Institute, would like to express our great ap- preciation for the incentive he has given us to be believers in what we do, by dedicating this, the 1962 Fer- riscope, to a great citizen -W. C. Top Taggart.
