The 1940 Classes appreciate MR. H. F. W1LsoN January Class Sponsor I believe-'Laboromnia1Fm5Ltf F F F F F F F F F F i F F i r r Untiring energy, fair play, an occasional sly reprimand, and sincere leadership were the qualities which Mr. H. F. Wilson displayed as he sponsored the January class. Now, class-you must remember - Seniors, you must get busy and get going -His advice and foresight many times warned us of the snares and pitfalls into which senior classes have been known to fall. But thanks to his words of wisdom we evaded all common senior difficulties. In school, Mr. Wilson was interested in all extra curricular activities as well as class work. He collected tickets every Saturday afternoon at football games. He was also an ardent basketball fan. During the Fall, he was usually scurrying around in the kitchen organizing boys and girls to sell candy, klondykes, etc., at games. During week days the students learned their Latin by thorough drilling at the blackboard. Honesty and hard work prevailed in his classes. Outside of school, Mr. Wilson was interested in all civic projects to which he gave time and money. His church was a definite part of his scheme of life. He attended regularly and taught a Sunday School class. Every worthy organizaf tion such as Scouts, Red Cross and hospital received his support. In years to come we seniors will remember many fine qualities of our sponsor. But we will also remember one familiar gesture-which never failed to amuse us-that was the drawing out of his vest pocket a gold watch with a long chain. This chain seemed endless, but it always reached full length just in time for the bell. Thus we too, under his capable direction arrived at the culmination of our high school careers. 10
