As a nine-year-old boy playing tag in the Trenton Statehouse, Mr. Warner found an active early start for his interest in politics. Still familiar with the twists and turns of the building, on visiting trips he ducks through doors to the floor of the assembly room, while his tourist friends are escorted to the balconies. The desire to become a history teacher, however, was inspired by his own high school instructor, for whom Bill substituted three weeks in his senior year. His teaching experience in this and other subjects totaled three months by graduation, for teachers in Lambertville High School rarely hired substitutes. The influences of high school are more lasting than those of any other period of education,” says Mr. Warner. Often he would rise early, do his chores, and make the fourteen-mile bus ride in time to practice for band. A talented woman director inspired the hobby that grew to state-wide recognition as the Westfield High School Band. Mr. Warner believes farm experience essential to every education and proves his right to this belief with eight years of farm life as a boy. Living always in New Jersey, Mr. Warner is nevertheless well traveled, for he has commuted regularly from two to fifty miles since seventh grade. Promises of expeditions farther afield with his wife and four-year-old daughter, Peggy, lie in the trailer acquired last spring. seven
