FACULTY, PAGE 8 CLASSES, PAGE 26 Willie seemed to be everywhere and certainly was a creature of a hundred moods. At times he cooled the hot faces of students and faculty. On other occasions he roar- ed recklessly through the hallways banging classroom doors or spent the day piling sand in the corners of eyes and classrooms. Docile as a newcomer in September Willie increased his tempo as the school year picked up momentum and by midterm had driven athletes from the fields and swept student life from the campus lawn. By midwinter Willie would have been classified as a problem child. Day after day he swooped and whirled, moaned and howled, never missing a chance to make himself known. Guidance coun- selor Jack Landrum expressed the belief that Willie was not chronically maladjusted but that he simply was going through a phase . Sure enough. With the late spring Willie quieted down, the students returned to the lawns, and campus life returned to its earlier tranquil stage. Page 4
