In Memoriam Our hearts were saddened at the passing of our friend and companion, Mr. Jesse K. Townsend. We deeply appreciate the invaluable work done by him during his eighteen years as member of the School Board. During this time he was prominently identified with the build- ing of the Johnston School, Horner Junior High, the Allison and the Senior High Annex. He was cheerful and optimistic, courageous in his convictions, courteous in his manners, truthful and honest to his fellow men. It was said of him that to him a public office was public trust. We shall miss his wise counsel and efficient leadership which was an inspiration and chal- lenge to all who knew him. 13 l WHS 1934 Ulu
