Dechoatlon It is perhaps only once in a lifetime that a community is fortunate enough to have a man like Hadley Watts head its school system-a man so dedicated that he has devoted his entire person for the past 14 years to the building of quality education in Washington Township. His magnetic personality, his selfless devotion, his tire- less energy, and his knowledge of scholastic needs have served to make him effective in communicating the ne- cessity of superior education. When Mr. Watts came to Centerville in 1952, there were 450 students all housed in one school. This year there were 5,000 students attending classes in seven buildings. He was determined that the schools under his supervision should be staffed by competent faculty members who would be properly rewarded for their professional ability. He worked ceaselessly to obtain the best in facilities for everyone concerned. When a man invests more than 14 years in one com- munity, he is investing not only years, but a great part of his life. Hadley Watts, with a dedication consistent with that of a true leader, has contributed these years of his life to create in Washington Township an appreciation of a good education and a framework upon which to build this education. His sphere of influence reached far beyond the classroom for his philosophy has offered a fresh way of learning for many and a fresh look at living for most-for he had a special interest in every individual. Everyone in the community will be deeply affected by his resignation. It is fitting that the 1966 Elkofzimz should be dedicated to the one man who, more than any other, has provided the leadership for shaping and molding the schools of our community into the edifices of learning that they are today. It is with great pride and extreme humbleness that the yearbook staff dedicates the 1966 Elkofzian to Hadley Watts. With the heritage he has bestowed on each one, may the flame of wisdom, knowledge, eagerness, and achievement never flicker but continue to burn brightly in the years to come.
