Walter C. Wood Three and one-half years ago Mr. Wood stepped out of retirement, left his native Bennington, and assumed a position of considerable trust and responsibility at Hoosac. He has helped bridge the gap between headmasters, and has been instrumental in maintaining old traditions as well as raising new standards. He has always been interested in youth and education, and for thirty-six years served the Bennington Graded School District, twenty-nine of them as Principal of Bennington High School. At the end of those years he was made Principal Emeritus and a scholarship fund was established in his name by the BHS Alumni Association. Mr. Wood was the founder and moving figure in the annual Bennington I.ions Tri-State Music Festival that bears his name. It began in 1919 and his familiar tie-clasp is a token of local gratitude. We at Hoosac are proud to count him among our teachers anti friends. No metre stick can ever measure his influence upon us. In both classroom and counseling his dry Vermont wit has savored harder lessons. On behalf of the entire school, we of The Owl Board pay our tribute by dedicating this yearbook, The 1959 Owl, to Mr. Wood. Pag® 3
