lightful story. ing. To the Booster Staff: Nothing could be more appropriate than the theme you have selected for the Yearbook. Kly first introduction to Klark Twain was tlnourfh his delightful book- The Prince and the Paupcl know from actual experience the problems of the pau per, but l feel that I have more understanding and sympathy for the Prince from having read this de V Xlark Twain became the friend and associate of statesmen and kings throughout the world but he tl ways remembered the days when his situation was that of the pauper. He is beloved by people in ey ery w ill of life because of this broad sympathy and understand Roy B. lilmosimw l'1'i1zz'ip11Z nj ll'rm:!rorz' Wifi fzuziur lligli School Upper right hand Principal Bradshaw.

To the XVilson Booster Staff: I know of no better way of commemorating the one- hundredth anniversary of Klark Twain,s birth than making the characters of his books live in the hearts and minds of junior high school boys and girls. This you have seemingly done in the pages of this yearbook. Vlfhile the boys in these stories delight us with the writer's humor, the girls and women acquaint us with his sympathetic and serious nature. Betty Thatcher was a good, little girl-A-Xunt Polly. a martyr to Tom- xloan of Arc. a humble, peasant girl. Mark Twain loved his joan of Arc and considered it his best work. the only one worthy of the honor of being dedicated to his wife. llOSI5BlARY Siiizicuixn 1'ir'w-prifzfipzlf 1171111 Cillfllltlllff' lfoluzxfllor lfoodrow Wilson junior High School athleen
