Page F OREWORD The class of 1946 feels that it is appropriate to use as the theme of their yearbook the history of higher education in Wilson. This year is the one-hundredth anni- versary of the founding of the Wilson Collegiate Institute. It is the purpose of any yearbook to record the happenings for that school year. This year we have tried to record the outstanding memories and events of the past, both by a written his- tory and pictorial records. We hope this book will serve as a reminder to many people of the happy days spent vvithin the walls of the Wilson schools. It has been our sincere desire to make this permanent record as accurate and complete as possible. We wish to thank the many former students and teachers who have so generously loaned pictures and assisted in gathering information.
