Jordan High School - Beetdigger Yearbook (Sandy, UT)

caDedication 0 other man in the Jordan district has done more to further education than has Mr. W. W. Wilson. He has been appropriately called the “Father of Consolidation” be- cause, when serving on the Board of County Commissioners, he was largely instrumental in effecting the consolidation of Salt Lake County and the division of the two districts, Granite and Jordan. For years Mr. Wilson has been recognized as a leader in his community. He has been a member of the School Board for eight years, having served as president since January, 1919. The Sandy City Bank owes its suc- cess largely to his ability as president of the institution. When he was elected Mayor of Sandy, his capability as an executive again stood out prominently. In fact, he has proved successful in every phase of business, social, and political life. He has always exhibited a progressive attitude toward school affairs that has resulted in one improvement after another. Therefore it is with sincere pleasure and gratitude that we dedicate this, our annual, to Mr. W. W. Wilson.
