INTRODUCING HENRY THE HORNET W e want to introduce to the student body, the faculty and to the readers of tins annual our adopted mascot, “HENRY THE HORNET”. He Hails from the original pen and combined efforts of Janet Sipe, Connie Livesay and Patsy Waite, Art Editors of The Hornet’s Nest. Connie had the first vision of him and with the help of the other two artists they managed to get him to pose for them while lie was participating m various school activities. HENRY will be seen throughout this book taking part in all phases of school life. Notice him as he is when first a green uncertain freshman and then as he grows to a sophisticated soph, then a hopeful junior and finally when lie becomes the most important person in the world; A SENIOR”. He even broke down and joined the faculty for a while! W e all hope that HENRY THE HORNET will be a friend and become popular with everyone. W e like him very much and hope you will enjoy him and his antics when you read through the book.
