During the course of human events we come in contact with all kinds and classes of men. Some pass by and are forgotten, others leave with us a faint impression, while still others inspire within us that feeling of soul which prompts us to soar above our present conditions. One of this latter type, and a man with whom we as students will have the privilege of becoming intimately acquainted, is our principal, W. W. Henderson. W. W. Henderson was born at Logan, Utah, May 23, 1879. He lived here until his eleventh year when he moved with his parents to Idaho. The scene of the next seven years of his life were laid for the most part on a large ranch. Here he become acquainted with the ways and life of a western farmer. The buildings, the fences and the wood pile showed evidences of his labor, for in them were contained many loads of lumber, timber and wood which he had hauled from the neighboring mountains. He has followed the plow over hundreds of acres of land and has taken part in the harvesting of many thousands of acres. In this way he soon learned how to operate all kinds of farm machinery all the way from a simple cultivator up to a highly complex self-binder as well as a threshing machine. There is also another phase of Western life in which William figured to a great extent; his father owned a great many cattle. Owing to this fact he was sent to the range to help care for them, thus becoming acquainted with cowboy life. He gained such fame at this pursuit that it is not at all unusual to hear his old farm friends speak of him as "Cow-boy Bill." Even after he had commenced his college career he would return to his old home at Oneida during the summer months. While here he would work in the general merchandise etasblishment of his father. In this way he gained considerable experience in practical business affairs. |
