MAN UF THE YEAR- Without a doubt, one of the most active and interesting men in XVheaton Community High School this past year was Mr. J. Everett Bussart. In reviewing his influence and popularity the members of this Wecomi Staff had little trouble in choosing him as the MAN OF THE YEAR. Born July 9, 1903 and reared on a farm near Paris, Illinois, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ora Bussart received his first education in a one-room country school. He drove a horse and buggy six miles to Paris high school each day of his high school career. Receiving his B.S. at Illinois in 1925, he took a job in the research laboratories of the State Depart- ment of Agriculture. Later he was promoted to nursery inspector, a job which he has kept every sum- mer. In September, 1926, he started teaching biology at Arthur Town- ship High School. Mr. Bussart came to W.C.H.S. in 1929 and has remained our beloved instructor ever since. He became a member of Sigma Del- ta Sigma, at Illinois University. During the summers of 1932-3-4-5 he worked off his M.S. and wrote his thesis about parasite of the cu- cumber beetle. Mr. and Mrs. Bussart own their home at 425 E. Illinois Street and are members of the St. Paul's Evan- gelical Lutheran Church of which Mr. Bussart is a councilman. Their son, Dean, is in the fourth grade at Lowell School. Although Mr. Bussart has never been in a position to attract much attention because of the nature of his work, all students who have had general science or biology un- der him have felt the keen friend- liness and deep humor which have always characterized his classes. His work as treasurer of the A.B.C. has gone almost unheeded and his genuine interest and guidance to freshmen has received little men- tion. But in consideration of his work and his interest and his friend- liness, the members of the staff of this Wecomi, representing the Se- nior Class and the school at large, are proud to be able to dedicate this volume to such a man as J. Ever- ett Bussart, the MAN OF THE YEAR. fAbove at lefty The famous Bussart smile. fLower left, Inspecting his aquarium in thc green house. CAt rightj As we see him at his desk.
