WILFORD H. WOODY DEDICATICDINI This is a good picture oi Mr. Woody. You're telling me, Ann, only he's not smiling. That's the expression he wears when I go to him with the familiar slip'-'Do not admit without an OK. from Mr. Woody.' I have several saved as souvenirs. I never knew anybody who has ever raised as much money for West as he. Have you? I couldn't possibly forget that mad campaign for the public ad- dress system. And how we do enjoy it, too: and how that man can broadcast! I think he knows more, Frank, about what's going Ten on at the State House-oh, the new laws and amend- ments and the like-than many of the people in it. He made me determined to go into politics. I was a clerk at the election he stirred up here last fall. Don't ever overlook his acting ability. He's been a perfect scream in the last two plays. There's nothing goes on around the building that he isn't in. At every assembly he's called to make a speech about activities or athletics. l like him best in athletics: he sure knows his stuff. Whew, but we all work. I'm glad that our Class of 1937 dedicates the Westward Ho to Wilford H. Woody.

HARRY V. KEPNER A . , V' V, f ff' f 754--fiwwf I. CDUR PQINCIPAI. Look at this dandy new picture of Mr. Kepner, Frank! lt is good. l'm glad we have it in our Annual. Do you know, Ann, that we students don't appreciate what a high-up man he really is? He's so friendly with us-that's the reason. Iust unimportant mon are stuck-up and distant. You're right, Ann. l like the way he corrects us. Never does he say the words: don't, don't, can't, can't7 he just asks us, in such a kindly, courteous way, to do the right things that-well-we just do them. Did you ever read, Frank, all that 'Who's Who' says about him? He's been more than successful in three fields: the Masonic Fraternity, chemistry, and edu- cation. And, too, he's had another honor in the last one. He was elected a Vice-President in the Association of Secondary-School Principals. That's honestly one oi the greatest educational organizations in the World. l know it. Mr. Threlkeld has just finished being President of a similar organization tor superintendents: and Mr. Kepner's election as a vice-president means that he will automatically be president in two years. Denver is certainly going places, Ann. I was just thinking that the reason we have so many internation- ally known speakers in our assemblies is that Mr. Kep- ner is very prominent throughout the United States, and that great men think it an honor to grant him a iavorf' I don'i doubt it, Frank. Some day-why really nowfwe can hold our heads up high when we say that we have studied under Harry V. Kepner. Nine
