Student 'President Cheerfulness radiates where Larry Wilson is seen in, or about school. He is the 1949-50 student body president, and holds his post well. With dignity and intelligence, he conducts meetings in assemblies, and quietly carries on his duties from day to day. At a special interview, the reporter gathers a few facts about Larry’s school life at Union. Larry Marshall Wilson was born February 15, 1932 at Hot Lake, Oregon. He began school in the first grade at Union, spending his entire grade and high school days in Union schools. , Action on the prexy’s part was demonstrated in the eighth grade when he became editor of Kitten Kapers, elementary publication. He was named covaledictorian with Phyllis Mitchell the same year. Throughout high school, Larry has demonstrated his unique abilities to be successful in several different directions, namely as an outstanding athlete in football, basketball, baseball, track and boxing. That just about covers it: he is good in everything. Not only does Larry excel in athletics, but he takes part in Thespian plays, serves as class officer, is a Letterman, sells ads to finance the yearbook, is named as delegate for important state student body conferences, and always manages to accept his heavy duties and responsibilities with a healthy grin. To top it all off: Larry is an honor student! 20
