Clinton High School - Clintonia Yearbook (Clinton, IL)

Page 7 text:

The Yearbook is dedicated to three very special people who have earned the love and respect of not only the seniors and the Clintonia staff, but members of the student body, faculty, administration, and community. It is with great pride that we dedicate the 1982 Clintonia to Mr. Richard M. Glasson, Mr. Patrick Henry, and Mrs. D. Ann Jones. Mr. Glasson was born in Capital Falls, Michigan, the youngest child in his family. He attended school at Northern Michigan University, the University of Michigan, Eastern Illinois University, and ISU, where he studied English and Spanish. Mr. Glasson has been fortunate enough to enjoy several interesting positions—City Editor of the Flint Journal, English teacher at Cumberland High School, and a building contractor in Michigan and Illinois. Amateur radio, writing, golf, reading, designing homes, and reciting poetry are several of his hobbies. He and his wife Carolyn are the parents of six children. Mr. Henry was born in Mendota, Illinois, the middle of five children. He graduated from Joliet Junior College and Illinois State University, where he studied math and administration. He spent one month in Bogota, Columbia, before returning to Chicago to attend photography school. Mr. Henry has also worked in several interesting positions. His career has included time in the Army Reserves, a position as a coin collector for Illinois Bell, and a truck dispatcher for Johnson Johnson Baby products. He and his wife Joan have two children. Joan describes Mr. Henry as a “very gentle and considerate person, one who always puts his family and job before himself.” Mrs. Jones grew up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and attended Hot Springs High School. Mrs. Jones was a cheerleader and Hot Springs High School Homecoming and Sweetheart Queen. She attended University of Central Arkansas in Conway where she was voted best actress. She was also a member of Delta Zeta Sorority. Anyone watching Romper Room in Paducah, Kentucky, could have seen Mrs. Jones as the teacher. She was said to be and still is a very good “Do-Bee” Mrs. Jones has one daughter, Wendy, a student at U of I. 3
