‘Dedication — The Wigwam staff wishes to dedicate this annual to the mem- ory of Mr. Clyde C. Nice who met his untimely death in August, 1949. Mr. Nice came to Warren in 1945 as a journalism and English teacher. In addition to his regular teaching duties he was spon- sor of the Owl and the Wigwam and was public relations director. Although he was associated with Warren for such a brief time, all those who knew him and worked with him will long remember this fine man. His understanding and tireless efforts on behalf of the student body and the school endeared him to all.

Oa% ' P’lwci feaC To pupils, former pupils, parents and teachers, greetings; and to the Wigwam staff, congratulations for a job well done. I am happy for the opportunity to convey a message by way of the Wigwam. One of the interesting annual events in the years of the beginning of our school was the troop move- ments from Fort “Ben” to Camp Knox for summer manoeuvres. This movement took place in the month of April. The return was always made in September after the opening of school. Usually the vanguard made its appearance at about eight in the morning and the rearguard passed our grounds about three or four in the afternoon. The officers on these movements were mounted, the vehicles were horse-drawn, and the enlisted men marched. It was customary on these days to have lengthened intermissions; sometimes classes were dismissed in order that we might be able to see the troops “go marching by.” It was really a big event. From Fort “Ben” to Camp Knox was a ten day move. Later, when paved highways replaced dirt roads motor vehicles made the trip in four hours. Today, our faster planes can travel the distance in ten min- utes. The marked change in speed of travel indicated in the time reduction from a ten-day march to a ten- minute flight is illustrative of the momentous changes that have taken place in many areas of human ac- tivity in the past twenty-five years, the lifetime of the school. Closely related to these changes affect- ing human life have been the prosperity of the twenties, the great depression of the thirties, the greatest of all wars in the forties, and the subsequent inflation of the present. In spite of the many things that tended to disrupt and hinder the progress of many institutions, our school prospered. The credit for this belongs to parents and teachers and boys and girls who during these years never lost sight of desirable goals, who clung steadfastly to the things that are good, who weathered the trying periods through which we passed, and who adjusted themselves intelligently to sud- den and momentous changes. My congratulations to all of you, for you have been responsible for the growth and successful devel- opment of our school. My sincere thanks to all of you, for you have made my twenty-six years of principal- ship happy years - happy years for me and Mrs. Eash. Sincerely, C. E. Eash.
