A.; Class Athletics; Mountain Club; Choral Society; Henry Clay Law Society. Friend to Truth; of soul sincere, in action faithful, and in honor clear. Should anyone inquire who is the best natured, best looking and possessing the sweetest voice in the Senior class, the answer would be unanimous-- Bill Woodson. Not only is W. T. in the lime-light of social circles, but he is as active in his studies as in executing the tango. One might think that W. T. was studying for the ministry, but in fact, he is aspiring to the dignity of a Judge. So he is contemplating returning to Knox county and displaying his knowledge of jurisprudence in handing down opinions on mountain feuds. -The Kentuckian, 1914---------------------------------- William Thomas Woodson (December 24, 1888 - November 15, 1972) was born in Knox County, Kentucky to William Silas Woodson and Sarah J.
