Colonel Wicker possesses the sterling qualities of earnestness, determination, and the ability to lead students to higher goals which will forever enrich their lives. We wish to express our great appreciation for the patience and understanding he has given each of us during our four years of high school. In appreciation of his stimulation and guidance, which has inspired and awakened in us an interest to the finer things of life, we dedicate this Tar-Bo-Rah.
