It is always hard loma great star Ode into the twi- light at Worthington, but this year one of our greatest will be leaving us. Mr. Ray Heischman has been with our system (or sixteen years and in that time has won the respect and acclamation of hundreds o! students. Many recall him as a physics teacher and principal but still more recall him as a coach. We hear old grads come back and greet him with Hi chief” and we know that with the greeting they are drifting back to the days when they were a member of one of his basketball squads. We can all recall the 1947 season when Worthington placed second in the state. This might have been the highlight of his career, but really, there are many other incidents that were just as important, so many in fact that we hesitate to recall all of them. In reality every season was a great one. if not for scores, then for sports- manship and honor that goes with winning of a 'cleanly fought contest. We could relate, by the hour, the students he has helped and the many extra efforts he has made on our behalf. The opportunity for student expression and the fairness of treatment means more to us than these words or any others could describe. We have a feeling that the faculty, too. will miss a real friend and companion in the coming year. What we say here might well be stated in their behalf also. Efforts to describe true feelings in words are poor at best, and we have not improved them much with this writing. We just want you to know. Mr. Heischman. that all of our good wishes go with you wherever you go.
