TI-IE ODYSSEY OF1306 PRINCIPAL LOUIS J. WOLNEI2, A. B., NI. A. 'U EJIENILEIVIAN, scholar, discipiina- rian, orator, actor and a general good fellow, these are the things that run through our minds when PrincipaI WoIner's name is mentioned. A square shooter--aIways willing to give a fair deaI, even when he Iqnows you are wrong. A man whom we are proud to point out as our principal, Mr. Wolner stands aIone. Perhaps it will be easier For us to realize how natural it has been for Mr. Wolner to establish himself in I'Iomer if we reminisce through his previous career. As a resuIt oi a very active and coIoriuI I-Iigh School career at Albany, Mr. Wolner wa' ohfered two scholarships, to Columbia University and the other to Ohio WesIeyan. I'Ie declined both of these in favor of entering New YorI4 State Teachers CoIIege at Albany. While at AIbany he made a reputation for himseII. I-Ie was president both of his Freshman and Sophomore CIasses, Editor of the College Newspaper, captain of the debate team, which competed with both nationaI and internationaI teams, president of Signum I.audis-SchoIarship Society and a member oi lVIysIcanid, which is a senior honorary society For directing student affairs. Mr. Wolner came to I-Iomer as an English teacher and senior advisor in the iaII of 1930. I-Ie served in this capacity for three years. In 'I933 he succeeded Mr. Warren as principal of I'Iomer Academy. Since he has been in I-Iomer, Principal WoIner has continued to add prestige to his name. During the years 'I93'I and 1933 he was substitute instructor in EngIisI'i at New York State CoIIege for Teachers in that coIIege,s summer sessions. principal Wolner is the Chairman oi Supervising I3rincipaIs oi the state oi New YorIc. I-Iowever, one of the most distinguished positions and to Principal Wolner the most enjoyable of his honors is his being eIected the president oi the Homer Chamber of Commerce. It is with the sincerest appreciation that the CIass of 'I936 wishes to thanIc I7rincipaI WoIner For his Icindly cooperation and consideration in connection with the Odyssey. And it is with due regret that the members oi the CIass oi 1936 have to say good-bye to Mr. Wolner, indeed a Friend at all times. 5 I13Ir
