5 g -r pecfication As each year appears and makes its way, day by day, into the past, we try to show our appreciation to one member of the faculty who has helped to make that year be a more enjoyable one for us. As the class of 1940 makes its exit, we wish to express our gratitude by honoring one whom all of us respect and admire. For twentyfone years he has been with usg every day he has been the same generous, cheerful person, interested primarily in us and our problems. At any time of day he has been willing and eager to help us, and it seems that his patience with us is inexhaustible. Observing his courteous ways, we have seen how his thoughts seem always to be centered on the welfare of those about him. We have noted his keen sense of what is right and fair, and have tried to follow the excellent example he has set for us? Knowing him to be one of the worthiest wearers of the W , we, the stajf, are proud to dedicate this, our W Book of 1940, to Mr. Howard T. Griffith.

um,- HEN we turn our thoughts back upon the days crowded with the successes and failures that have been ours in Wilkinsburg High School, there comes to mind a series of events happily associated with the letter At the football games we have seen it on the uniforms of the players and cheerleaders, in our basket' ball games and track meets and intramural sports, it has been proudly borne to glory. We have seen it upheld by our band and orchestra, displayed in our class plays and music festivals, and we have realized that Wilkinsf burg is outstanding not only in sports but also in the arts as well. We have seen it stand out in our chapel services which constitute a delightful part of our school life. Always it has signified not only Wilkinsburg but also Worth , The worth of true friendships, of knowledge sought and gained, of close association with those who have sought to guide us and instill in us a resolve to always be worthy of Wilkinsburg High. Thus it was that we chose this letter for our theme because it is a symbol that will always recall to us with pleasure the activities with which it was connected. On the next page under the title Where , which is our way of saying Table of Contents , you will Hnd briefly outlined the inside story of the worth of Wilkinsf burg. On the cover you will End, the most familiar of school sights-the scholastic and athletic W , on a student sweater, a colorful reminder of high school days. Sincerely, THB EDITORS.
