His primary ambition then was to become o lawyer, and he wors studying low with that end in view. But his second year of teaching proved so enjoyable he decided to remain permanently in the field of education. His greatest satisfaction professionally has come from the accomplishments of his former students and of teachers who have worked under his direction.

Dr. Three To Whom We Owe So Much . . . tln appreciation of their outstanding service and accomplishments as educators and educational administrators, the present issue of the PURPLE AND WHITE has been gratefully dedicated to Dr. Benjamin C. Willis, our General Superintendent of Schools; Dr. Thaddeus I. Lubera, our Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Secondary Education: and Dr. James H. Smith, out District Superin- tendent. Following are sketches of the three distinguished leaders and their careerseThe EditorsJ Dr. Benjamin C. Willis There was something finer than mere courtesy, something simpler yet deep- er than diplomacy m the welcome Dr. Benjamin C Willis, our General Superv intendent of Schools! gave a delegation of students who interviewed him for the PURPLE AND WHITE on November 16, 1954. There was something warmer in it than just good public relations. The natural heartmess of the man along with his ability to project himself intuitively into the mind of a teenager and see the high school students world through the eyes of a high school student somehow shone forth in the glow of his smile and was quickly conveyed through the very way he opened his office door and shook hands with his visitors. Instantaneousiy, and without visible effort, he gave the Engiewood repree sentatives a feeling oi being with an undeistanding friend. This was brought about not so much by what he said or did as by the kind of person that he is. The same elusive son'iethiha pervaded the atmosphere throughout the half! hour interview. Willis; and Malian Hunt. Dit Willis and Watien Jones
