Ir. Henney retires after 19 years at WHS I don ' t think school ' s for everybody, I never have thought school was for every- body. I don ' t say that everybody should go to college, or that every- body should not go to college. I don ' t think school is the answer may seem a surprising idea from a man who has spent his whole life in schools. But on the threshold of retirement, Woodlan ' s assistant principal, Mr. Harry Henney, has an expert ' s vantage point. Harry Henney ' s ideas of schooling did not keep him from attaining a well-rounded education. After graduation from Avilla High School in 1931, where he was ac- tive in both basketball and baseball, he went on to Manchester College. Mr. Henney recalls pay- ing $500 for a year of schooling at Manchester and eating three meals a day in the school cafe- teria for 51 cents. Business, math and science were Mr. Henney ' s majors for his bachelor ' s degree. He also holds a masters ' de- gree. Mr. Henney was al- so a student at Indiana University ' s Bloomington and Fort Wayne campuses. Nineteen thirty -seven was the year Mr. Henney broke into the teaching profession, teaching business, math and physics at Woodburn High School until 1945 when IBw SI! 1HWni.Hi.. he was promoted to prin- cipal. It was during Mr. Henney ' s teaching days at Woodburn that he pro- posed to Miss Jeanette Parks. In 1941 they were wed. Today, after 36 years of marriage, the Henneys have four children. Mr. Harry Henney was the principal at Wood- bum High School from 1945-1952, when he left Woodburn to teach a year of business, math and physics at Leo High School. Mr. Henney came back to Woodburn the following year, teaching there until 1959 when he assumed the assistant principal position at Woodlan. After 19 years as as- sistant principal, Harry Henney is ready to re- tire. Mr. Henney plans to stay in the Woodburn area, hunting, fishing and letting his wife make the plans. Assistant principal Henney ' s straight -forward advice to the Class of 1977 is Find something that you want to do, and go do it. Be sure it ' s something that after you start in, it ' s not too late to back out if you think you ' re not going to enjoy it, I don ' t care what it pays you, if it ' s a job that you don ' t thoroughly enjoy, then get out.
