We Dedicate This Book to Mr. Hawkins MR. HAWKINS VVe dedicate the 1950 Maple Leaves to Miss Wolfe and Mr. Hawkins in recognition of their many years of service to Fairmont Senior High School, and as a token of appre- ciation for their contribution to the develop- ment of the school and of the students who attended their classes. Ensel I. Hawkins taught mechanical draw- ing, and business mathematics here for many years as well as serving as faculty adviser of the stage crew and as supervisor of the build- mg. The words of Iohn Henry Newman best describe Mr. Hawkins, a true gentleman, whose great concern is to make everyone at their ease and at home, . . . he is tender to- ward the bashful, gentle toward the distant . . . he makes light of favors while he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is conferringf' Mr. Hawkins was active in all things for the betterment of education, having served as president of the Classroom Teachers' Associ- ation and of the Marion County Teachers' Association. A man of fine character, he is a member of the First Methodist church and of the Masonic Lodge, Number 9. Mr. Hawkins lives with his wife in Fairmont. At the request of the yearbook staff, Mr. Hawkins kindly wrote this message about his years at Fairmont Senior High: By the yarclstick of Time, thirty-five years in one school would not be long, but we find that it is the friendships rather than the years by which we measure real livingg and so, in retrospect, yet always seeking the new, we are assured: The issues of life to be, We weave in colors all our own, Ancl in the fields of Destiny, W' e reap what we have sownf'
