As a member of the Board of Education for Washougal, I feel called upon to say a few words in appreciation ot' the good work done here by Holman Perrin, to whom this annual is dedicated. Mr. Ferrin came to us fresh from college, having just completed his work v.ith the University of Vermont with high honors. He taught in our High School for two years under Superintendent Thomas, as well as having charge of all athletic activities. He organized the boys' foot- ball, basketba'l and track teams, and successfully led them to victory in a majority of all games played. Mr. Ferrin maintained at all times a very high standard of morals among our students, and for the spirit which he in a large measure instilled, we feel justly proud of the boys and girls who comprise the student body. He was called to the City of San Diego to take charge of the Y. M. C. A. in their fine new home in 1915, and for the past year has been engaged in that work. But the School Board has been successful in returning him to Washougal High School work for the coming year. In September he will be installed as piircipal ot' W. H. S. for the school year of 1916 and 1917, and l am sure the patrons as well as tlte students will rejoice in his return to Wasliougsl. -L. F. Ressnu.. MR. HULMAN B. FERRIN-AN AI'l'RECIA'l'ION. By C. F. CLAPP. Boy and man, it has been my happy privilege to know Mr. Ferrin ever since he opened his eyes on this struggling world. He took kindly to the situation and proceeded to adapt himself to it. Indeed he was very much alive from the start and appeared to think this world was a mighty fine p'ace in which to live. He met it halfway, took his chances with the rest and enjoyed its battles with their victories and defeats. He would attack anything from a center rush or a high jump with the same smile that would mantle his face in the contemplation of the disposition of a quarter section of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving night. He took a position as leader, not by self-interested manipulation, but because he was the logical chap on whom this responsibility should rest. He would never be left behind, either in the class room or on the athletic field if by dint of hard work and relentless et'fort'he could win out. He has always been the champion of a square deal, whether in recreation or work. He has the highest possible ideals of manhood ami integrity and would lose the most coveted prize rather than win it by unfair play. Indeed, he is, and has always been, a fine clean specimen of a high-minded, kind- healted, sympathetic Christian gentleman. I know of no greater virtue, of no gveater honor, ot' no higher ideal than this.
