DEDICATIO This 1939 Sandstorm is dedicated to Memphis, to its civic spirit, to all who are working for its progress, those in the home, the school, and the church. This year has seen marked progress. A new interstate road being built, new business establishments, and a new gymnasium and stadium are a few of the outstanding developments during the past year. May Memphis continue to grow - not only in a physical manner, but morally and spiritually, likewise to that kind of a purpose-to a spirit of progressiveness - this 1939 Sandstorm is dedicated.

SUPERINTENDENT Scarcely enough can be said of the respect and confidence we all hold for Mr. W. C. Davis, who has filled so capably for the last four years the position of super- intendent of the Memphis schools. Mr. Davis was born at Medina City, Texas, and graduated from Uvalde High School, where he made an exceptional record in every department. ln obtaining his degree in school administration, he attended the uni- versity of Texas and Southwest Texas State Teachers College, and has since done graduate work in the University of Colorado. In college he lettered in football, basketball, and baseball, and was a member of the Hogg Debating Society. At South- west Texas State Teachers College, he served as president of the student council, and as freshman football coach. Since college he has spent seventeen years in school administration. Part of his career was interrupted by the World War in which he served his country. Since coming to Memphis, he has been instrumental in the build- ing of the new stadium and gymnasium, and has helped to establish the Memphis school system as one of the outstanding systems in the state. His advice to youth is: if you can keep your heart right, your mind clear, your body sound, and love to serve -the world is for you.
