llll I7Bl?II'lUl'i8II'l The Student Council of South Park High School, repre- senting the faculty and student body, wishes to take this means of expressing our sympathy and love to Skipper,' ingman. Words cannot express our sorrow, hours cannot fill the emptiness, but our memories of Skipper,, will fill our minds and lives with gladness. We loved him with a love that is immeasurable and inde- finable. We loved him for his kindness, and, if everyone to whom he had done a kind deed were to send a flower, there would be mountains of blossoms. We loved him for his happy booming voice which filled the halls of our building. XY'e loved him simply, completely, and wholly. Wfe know as, perhaps no one else knows that there was never a kinder, nobler, manlier man. In every sunny day of life he was the vine and flower of sunshineg in stormy trouble he was oak androck. He was the foundation of South Park, the first and greatest Greenie, and the best loved, most honored man in South Park. His smile has done more to strengthen South Park and to help South Park than any other thing. His one philosophy of life was that everyone should strive for scholarship, leadership, and honorable living without thought of his humble beginnings. Mr. Bingman was the true Skipper,' of South Park. He guided the throngs of youth through the troubled WLIICFS of uncertainty. His only compass was his kind and loving heart. For South Park there will never be a more efficient, understand- ing, and wis Skipper,' than he. V
