MR.. FORD VISITS DAWSON
HIGH SCHOOL.
(By Marvin Claw


The school had the honor on Friday
of gazing upon the one and only John
Henry Ford. We had often seen his
namesakes but had never had the
pleasure OF gazing upon him.
Grouping ourselves in front OF the
building we stood with barred heads,
open mouths and bated breaths. Pres
entity, upon the steps Mr.. Ford and
the board of trustees were standing
What we were expecting | know not
but this | do know: he looked as 9TH
er men look; he wore neither a Prince
Albert nor a silk hat, but just plain
gray business suit. The two-dollar
cigar and the gold-headed walking
cane were nowhere to be seen. But a
beautiful rose was very much in evil
dence We are glad he wears flowers.
Judge NJ. c. Edwards introduced
Mr.. Ford with a rather delightful and
altogether fitting tribute, but Mr.
Ford previously asked to be excused
from a speech. This disappointed us
until he acknowledged the introduc-
ton with a bow that would do credit
to a Lord Chesterfield. All! What a
bow! And that smile! 1t was so kind
ly and his expression so sympathetic
that we are all made to feel that this
king of finance is also king among
men.
