Mr. VVilliams is at present engagecl in operat- ing coal mines, but he cherishes a secret ambition to be a larmer eventually. VVe are quite sure he woultl be successful: because he is a lover ol' horses, antl likes all outtloor sports, such as hunt- ing, lishing, anal football. In his philosophy, Live, let live, antl be con- sitlerate of others, Mr. NVilliams illustrates a lilietime policy. He likes the Tiger because it gives him :ui opportunity to stutly the lives ol' the students who are preparing themselves lor a live- lihootlg it also gives the stutlents in charge an ex- perience which will be very helpliul to them throughout lilie.

MR. WILSON WARE Mr. Wilson Ware, a member of the Ran- dolph County Board of Education, and a fonner member of the Mingo District Board of Educa- tion, is a native of Valley Head. He was educated in the Mingo district schools. Mr. Ware is an interested member of our board as he has children in both the elementary and high schools. The schools nearest Mr. Ware's heart, however, are the rural elementary ones. He hopes eventually to see them receive the necessary consideration that will make them serve the pur- pose for which they are intended. Mr. Ware is a blacksmith and miller by trade. MR. FRED CHENOWETH Mr. Fred Chenoweth, President of Randolph County Board of Education, was born in Ran- dolph County in 1874. He is a direct descendant of Iohn Hart and a great grandson of Iackson Chenoweth, Revolutionary War soldier. So it is easy to see that Mr. Chenoweth comes from a line of people who are up and doing. We are sure that Mr. Chenoweth in various ways has led as active a life as his forbears. Mr. Chenoweth prepared for his life's work, that of farmer and dairyman, by attending various West Virginia schools. His philosophy, Life is what we make it, strikes us as being illustrative of his entire life. He believes that healthful recrea- tion is the best hobby a man can have. Mr. Chenoweth has always cooperated with Elkins High School in every way possible. We want him to know that we duly appreciate his many kindnesses to us. MISS EMILY I. WILMOTH Miss Emily I. Wilmoth, assistant superin- tendent of Randolph County Schools, was born in Wheeling, NVest Virginia. She declines to tell when, but stated it was sometime during the Dark Agesf' Miss Wilmoth has attended the following schools: Davis-Elkins College, Columbia Univer- sity, Wisconsin University, and the University of California. She majored in foreign languages and her profession is teaching. A lover of outdoor sports Miss Wilmoth en- joys golf most of all. Her philosophy of life is The world is so full of a number of things, I am sure we should all be as happy as kings. Miss Wilmoth, when commenting on the Tiger, said, Every year since the 'Tiger' was a 'Cub,' I have looked forward with pleasure to its publication, and I have never been disap- pointed. E DR. 1. L. BosWoRTH Dr. I. L. Bosworth, a senior member of the Board of Education and a prominent physician and surgeon of the county, was born in Beverly, West Virginia. To obtain his education, Dr. Bos- worth attended several well-known schools and medical colleges. Dr. Bosworth's hobbies are printing news- papers and publishing books, he having owned the Randolph Review for several years as well as being the founder of the Randolph Reveille. Dr. Bosworth has held the following political offices in Randolph County: Member of Huttons- ville District Board of Education for fourteen years, four years of which he was president. For the last four years this venerable citizen has been a member of Randolph County's Board of Educa- tion to which he was reelected in I938. His active life is reverberated in his philoso- phy, Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. MR. BRYAN HAMILTON Mr. Bryan Hamilton, Randolph County Su- perintendent of Schools, was born September 15, 1896, in Elkwater, West Virginia. He graduated from Davis-Elkins College and received his Mas- ter of Arts degree from West Virginia University. Although his hobby is reading, Mr. Hamil- ton believes that character is higher than intellect. He gives the following advice: Be ashamed to die until you have done something for humanity. Mr. Hamilton has served as county superin- tendent for many years, and the high school really appreciates his Fine support during this time. MR. HENRY HAMILTON Mr. Henry Hamilton, Director of Randolph County High Schools, needs no introduction to Elkins High School students as he is their princi- pal. He was born at Elkwater, West Virginia, on Iune 17, 1904. After finishing elementary school and Mill Creek High School, he attended Davis- Elkins College from which he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. Later he earned his Master of Arts degree from West Virginia University. As principal Mr. Hamilton is every student's friend. This'fact is well illustrated in his message Lo the Tiger : It has always been my policy to consider stu- dents and fellow teachers as friends struggling along life's pathway, it has been my happy duty to lend a helping hand where possiblef' Mr. Hamilton's hobbies are hunting and fish- ing. We are not sure whether or not his philoso- phy of life, Man is judged by his works, is car- ried out in the success of his hobbies, but we agree with the ideal set up in this philosophy.
