CARL HENSINGER Vice-Principal We have all in one way or anofher come in confacf wirh Mr. Hensinger. Those of us who have been lucky enough 'ro meer and know him in an English class have gained valuable knowledge: and fhose of us who have mel' him in Room 4-well, need we say more? Yel' fhere are few of us who realize rhe long hours he spends in im- proving our English curriculum so fhaf even our neighboring schools are beginning fo recognize his abilify as an or- ganizer and deparrmenf head. His pleasanl' personalify and smile have followed us down The devious pafhs of our Wonderland and helped us along our way. We have all appreciafed his help and guidance in some way or anofher.
