YIKER ilu illivmnriam We believe our Annual would be incomplete if we did not dedi- cate one page of it to the memory of our friend, professor and county superintendent, Harry Evans. While better known to the alumni as a teacher, we know his life to be one with which none can find fault, and as county superintendent always ready and willing to do more than his office called for. Never tiring when endeavoring to do some one a favor, always fair in performing his oiiice duties, his thoughts were ever for the scholars and betterment of the school. The West Lebanon high school has lost a staunch friend and he will be rewarded for his works in that Great Beyond. While it seems that he was taken in the prime of life and at a time most needed, and with a future full of good things for us, yet the length of years does not always measure the length of a life. -C. A. Davies Page 6

, PIKER C. M. Bowlus Mr. Bowlus served as Trus- tee of our township from Jan- uary, 1919, to January, 1923. During his administration, and largely due to his untiring efforts, our schools have made splendid progress. Every en- terprise for the student's wel- fare, whether within or with- out the schoolroom, has re- ceived his unqualified backing. Wm. A. Hill Mr. Hill began his term as Trustee of our township, Jan- uary 2, 1923. At the very out- set he stated his ideal: to make our institution the very best that was possible. His in- terest, energy, and constant support can lead to but one conclusion: that he is a true friend and loyal supporter of education in our community. Q Harrison W. Frazier Mr. Frazier was elected County Superintendent, to succeed Mr. Evans in Feb- ruary, 1922. His ability and fair play make him a leader of education in Warren County. Page 5

Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned, From receiving their instructions? If such there be, go call him down For him no high school yell abound. For four long years, our professor brave, Has labored hard our honor to save. And Jack, the tall and gallant fellow, Has taught us well, how rules to follow. From Miss Kelley we have learned Faithfulness should not be spurned. Miss Daniel's sweet voice has charmed all men As her kinsman charmed lions in their den. In this, our last year, from Greenfield came A lady of wide renown and fame. So, now, to you our teachers true We all bid a fond adieu. -M. Haupt, '23 Page 7
