CWiCdttOH His whole life is built around teaching and working with young people! This warm praise came from Principal Campbell concerning one of the most prominent faces around RHS. ' He is the type of teacher who is always ready, willing, and able to perform any request made of him, either by the administration or by his students. Although born in lona, Idaho, November 11, 1924, this familiar face calls California his home. In fact he is an alumnus of Redlands High, Class of 1943. He was very active in campus life and was an outstanding athlete. Upon entering the U.S. Army after high school graduation, he was stationed in the infantry in the European theater of World War II. There he was wounded in action. Soon after the war, he continued his education at the University of Redlands, majoring In business administration and minoring in history. While at the University, this distinguished face was treasurer of his fraternity. Kappa Sigma Sig- ma. He received his Bachelor ' s Degree in 1952, graduating With Distinction. Among other honors he has received are the Wall Street Journal Achievement Award, the Sears-Roebuck Scholarship in 1951, and membership in the Delta Alpha Honor Society. He has also served as treasurer of the UofR Alumni Association. Upon the advice of the Veterans ' Administration, he began working at Norton A.F.B. as a budget administrator in 1953; however, his desire to teach conquered all, and he joined the RHS faculty in 1956. Here at his Alma Mater, this popular face has been an outstanding teacher of World and U.S. History. To those under his tutelage, he has imparted a priceless gift of knowledge, understanding, and patriotism for the America he loves. He has been active in all phases of school life, from timing a football game to chaperoning a dance. He has previously been faculty adviser to Student Government and was adviser to the Class of ' 65 during their junior year. Words cannot express the respect and admiration all Terriers feel towards this fine man. These words are merely tangible tokens of intangible gratitude. Therefore, with pride, this Makio is dedicated to Mr. Herman J. Thornton. May this dedication speak for itself!
