! i Familiar Scenes at Wilson Memorial Henry’s Celebrating His Second Birthday Celebratng his second birthday, Henry the Hornet happily returns to caper through the pages of the 1951 annual. Not only has Henry found time to enroll in all the classes but he has enjoyed all the extra curricular activities open to stu¬ dents at Wilson Memorial. He has always been at the top in everything but this year it has been more difficult for him because of the large student body which numbers 1500, an increase over former years. Henry, because he tried to take part in so many activities, became fast friends with two of the schools ' newcomers—Poo-Ella-Larson and Google-Eyed-Gus, who were created as reporters for the Wilson Echo by the Journalism class. These three have made an interesting trio and very little has escaped their sharp eyes and listening ears. While attending the basketball games, Henry found out that Wilson needed a scoreboard in the gym to easier record those Wilson victor es and he talked the 1950 graduates into buying one to leave as a gift to the school. This new electric scoreboard now hangs in one end of the gym as another proven accomplish¬ ment of the students at Wilson. Wishing to know how his voice really sounded to other people, Henry decided that Wilson needed a disc recorder. He wasn ' t quite the first to think of this, as several of the teachers and club members had already gotten the idea and made the request that it be bought. With the aid of the school finances a disc re¬ corder was purchased and recordings can be made daily in any classroom for teach¬ ing purposes. Henry has delighted his hearers with his French recordings. Henry was amazed at the beginning of the year to find that the faculty had many new faces among the 55 members. He always enjoyed visiting Mr. Garrett’s Phys. Ed classes but Uncle Sam decided early in October that Mr. Garrett was “for him” so Henry bid him a fond farewell. Henry was one of the first to welcome Miss Sherman back to her teaching position in the Home Ec. Department after an absence of 5 months. These are just a few of the interesting things Henry has done this year but if you will turn through the following pages vou may go with him on a few of his capers. e are proud to have the friendship of Henry the Hornet and hope he will return to scamper through the corridors of Wilson next year.
