Commerce Faculty Honors Willis
Commemorating the contri-*
butions of Mr. C. T. Willis to
commercial education at North
Carolina College, members of
the commerce faculty recently
hung a large tinted portrait of
the deceased educator in the
conference room (105) of the
new commerce building.
The portrait was hung last
week, climaxing a year-long
project of the commerce staff
under the leadership of Dr. L. J.
Harrison, successor as chairmart
to Mr. Willis who died in
December of 1954.
Mr. Willis was chairman of
the commerce department at
NCC from 1928 until his death
two years ago. It was he who
supervised the planning of the
new structxire which now houses
the department.
In annoimcing the successful
conclusion of the project to me
morialize Mr. Willis, members
of the commerce department
called attention to the fact that
under his leadership the depart
ment grew from a two to a nine
teacher department which noW
attracts more students than any
other department on the cam-^
pus.

ym
"Sheedy, you’re quacking up”, snorted his girl friend. "Your appearance is
fowl. Why don’t you wise up to Wildroot Cream-Oil ?” So J. Paul marshed
right down to the store and pecked up a bottle. Now he’s the sharpest
duck in school because his hair looks handsome and
healthy. . . neat but never greasy. When last seen he
was sipping a chocolate moulted with the prettiest
chick on campus ( . .. and she caught the bill!) So if
the gals are giving you the bird, better get some
Wildroot Cream-Oil. . . eider a bottle or handy tube.
Guaranteed to drive most swimmin’ wild!
