DEDICATION RUSSELL J. HURLBURT is a native son of Wilson. He graduated from Wilson High School with the class of 1922. Mr. Hurlburt attended Michigan State University following his graduation from Wilson. Mr. Hurlburt became a member of the Board of Education of Wilson Central School on July 1, 1943, three years after the district was centralized, and served continuously until July 1, 1959. Following the retirement of the late Thomas Marks he became President of the Board of Education, in which position he served until he retired. Mr. Hurlburt's contributions to education in Wilson were many, but perhaps the greatest was his interest in developing the buildings and facilities, and during the years he spent on the Board of Education he worked on increasing our facilities on five different occasions: 1946 — Additional classrooms. 1952 — Cafeteria. 1954 — Gymnasium and classroom wing. 1957 — Building the Thomas Marks Elementary School 1958 — Building the Vocational and Industrial Arts Building. Another great interest of Mr. Hurlburt's is athletics. His special love is for baseball, and he played professional ball in the mid-west before returning to Wilson. In this connection he promoted the all around development of students — scholastically as well as in terms of sportsmanship — during his service with the Wilson Board of Education. RUSSELL J. HURLBURT EARL W. BRYDGES is a graduate of Niagara University and the University of Buffalo Law School. He has been representing the 53rd district in the New York State Senate since 1948. Senator Brydges became a member of the Board of Education of Wilson Central School on July 1, 1943, and served continuously until July 1, 1960. For most of this period he has been Vice-President of the Board of Education. Senator Brydges has been chairman of the education committee of the New York State Senate for many years, and in this capacity he has not only been interested in the highest possible educational opportunities for students here in Wilson, but for students of the entire state as well. It has been largely through the determined and untiring efforts of Mr. Brydges that suitable legislation has been passed in New York State to uprate the quality and character of education for the mentally and physically handicapped children. EARL W. BRYDGES Serving the educational needs of our community is service of the highest order, and in dedicating the 1961 Crest to these two fine men the class of 1961 is confident that the community of Wilson joins it in this expression of gratitude for their efforts in our behalf. 3
