Finch Memorial Fountain

Page 22 text:

William Frank Finch was a man whose name is deservedly honored by the school which he served so well. He it was who conceived the idea of placing a fountain in the inner court of the West High School. The work begun by him, but interrupted by his death, is now being completed by other hands. It is a fitting memorial. The building of that fountain was not for him a duty grudgingly performed, but a service cheerfully rendered. This was characteristic of the man. He gave dignity to his position but assumed no dignity because of it. His field of service was not limited to the physical conditions of school property, though these conditions were the special objects of his thought and care. His counsel was sought and valued by teachers and students in matters that concerned the social and moral welfare of the school. He was a man of superior intelligence, of sterling moral character, of sincerity and of willingness. His very influence from his personal appearance to his moral conduct was wholesome. The graduating class does honor to the school and to its own members by recognizing through this memorial fountain the manly qualities of William Frank Finch. •jo HERBERT S. WEET.
