teacher, and maker of champions H.T. Clothier The I974 WILDKAT is H.T. Clothier's special book, with greetings and hearty best wishes from all Wildkats, l93l to I974. Who can guess how many fingers pounded typewriter keys? How many turned in budgets? How many drew and painted pictures? How many feet pounded the tennis courts and the volleyball lloor during the 43 years when Mr. Clothier was preparing students lor life and business, laying down his rules and enforcing themg winning games and tournaments? lt would be hard to count the grateful students who visited him over the years to thank him for setting a good example and maintaining high standards in the courses he taught and the sports he loved and coached. Well, let the WILDKAT say for all: Thank you, Mr. Clothier. We wish you Godspeed and happy retirement. We will not forget you.
