Kal In-ryn Katie- llarrison All .inwrivzln ! I P DENT PHOTO I I- WHAT CAN one do to render tribute to a person who has given 25 years of her life to a school? Katheryn Katie Harrison has done that for Wilson High. Unselfishly, unsparingly, Katie has given of her energy, her time, her money, and her heart to make Wilson what it is today. Anyone who wonders about this need only ask any of the thousands of students who have felt the warmth and enthus- iasm of her personality. Or any of the thousands of alumni, most of whom she can call by their first names. Or any of those fortunate to have eaten her hot rolls, her jams, jellies, pickles, her roast turkey and fixings at Campanile dinners. What will Wilson do without Katie? Without her intense loyalty, her boundless enthusiasm, her deep and abiding love for young people, her concern for their problems, and her shining pride in their accomplishments? Perhaps it would be better to restate that question. What will Katie Harrison do without Wilson? Because Miss Harrison is Wilson and Wilson is Miss Harrison, one and insepar- able. What can one do? Very little. Because Katie is not a person who receives. She gives. Perhaps this little tribute in Campanile, the book she loves, and placed here without her knowledge, will be most fitting. It is spoken from the heart of Wilson. Thanks for everything, Miss Harrison. Goodbye, good luck, and God bless you. 7
