A TUI1HITE T Perhaps never before in the history of tin public schools of DeKalb County has it been the good fortune of a school town or city to have tin valiant services of a most worthy janitor for so many years of continued service. The subject of these words of tribute. Mr. Joseph Wyatt, was janitor of the Butler schools for about twenty-four years ' of constant service. Mr. Wyatt proved indeed to be the right man in an impor- .taut place. 11» not only faithfully and patiently attended to the many details of work of the school rooms and premises, but he was constantly looking after the welfare of the pupils and teachers. The comfort of all connected with the school was his delight, lie was a kind and sympathizing friend to all tin pupils and teachers. His council was always good. Pupils never sought in vain when Mr. Wyatt was approached. JOE WYATT At all times In had a kind and pleasant smile for every one of his many friends. No one who knew him best, no one with whom he associated in near relationship, could help but be his friend. His genial good nature and broad minded sympathy al- ways held in store the better elements of friendship. He is missed in the public school by the teachers and pu- pils with whom he mingled. The author of these words writ- ten for the Butler High School Annual does not feel able to word a tribute that can possibly give proper credit for all that he did for the Butler schools in his many years of patient labor, in helping as he did to elevate the better elements of human character. He has gone from among us. but there remains the memory of him and his labors, which memory shall never pass from the minds of those associated with him in the by-gone years.
