Whereas, it has come to our
knowledge that our beloved Prof.
w. A. Evans has accepted a position
in the Paducah High School, we, the
undersigned pupils of the Hopkins
vile High School, resolve:
First-that we consider his less
to the Hopkinsville High School ir-
reparable, both to the pupils as in
dividuals and to the entire school
system.
Second-that we consider it due
to his efforts alone that this year
has been more successful in athlet-
les, than any previous one, and that
he has been considerable factor in
mental instruction as well. That
due to his efforts alone an unpre-
cedented High School spirit has been
aroused among the pupils. AS an
evidence of this fact, we call atten-
ton to the Oratorical Contest which
was tt e greatest success in the
history of the Hopkinsville school.
This idea was conceived and" carried
out entirely by Prof. Evans, thus
opening a new epoch for the High
Schools of Western Kentucky.
Third, that he has exerted mark
ed moral influence for good, over
each pupil individually, and has
raised the standard of educated.
Fourth We congratulate Prof,
Evans on his unanimous election to
splendid position in the Paducah
High School. Furthermore, we con.
gratulate the city of Paducah upon
having secured the services of Prof,
Evans in her schools.
Fifth-That we deplore the action
of the Hopkinsville School Board
which made it necessary for Prof
Evans to end his work in our midst
