Whisler, a well-known physician of Willard, was a living example of the good citizen who helps to keep democ- racy and its freedoms alive, l-le was active in many local lodges and organizations. Students of Willard High for nearly twenty years remember Dr, Whisler as a loyal attendant at all the foot- ball games. His heart was in every game, for he served as time- keeper and team doctor even after severe illness. To us, his memory will live as an incentive to continue to uphold the standards of good sportsmanship and of playing the game fair. 5

Our democracy makes free education our birthright. How- ever, we did not secure our instruction by uttering a few magic words. lt took more than the rubbing of an Aladdin's l1amp for us to obtain our diplomas. The financial support of the tax- payers, the sacrifices of our parents, the persistence of our teachers, and hard work on our part, were all required as the Open Sesame to break our chains of ignorance and illiteracy. These chains still bind people in many countries where free public education does not exist. Free public education has defended and will continue to defend our democracy which gave it birth. We dedicate our lives to the defense of our way of life which is promoted by free public education. X l X l 4
