The main address of the evening was given by William Gibbs McAdoo on '4The Life of Wilson. The portrait was unveiled by Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo, daughter of the late president. The picture, a handsome and impressive work costing 52500, was painted by Seymour Thomas, nationally known Pasadena artist.

Mr. Thomas has made several portraits of Wilson, one of which hangs in the White House and another in the State House, New Jersey. Ar the presentation ceremony the Honorable William Gibbs McAdoo gave a splendid address on the life of Woodrow Wilson in which he stressed the high idealism and fine principles for which the War President stood. Mrs. Wesley Lee, President of the local chapter United Daughters of the Con- federacy, formally presented the portrait to the school. Erugene I. Fisher accepted the gift and in turn presented it to Principal John L. Lounsbury who stated that the gift would forever be an inspiration to Woodrow Wil- son High School.
