Funeral services for William Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Johnson of Manning, will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Ohde Funeral Home.

The deceased was born July 10, 1903, at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and at the age of four moved to Manning with his parents. He attended the Manning schools and graduated as valedictorian with the class of 1920. He then enrolled at the State University of Iowa from which he graduated in 1924, with the highest honors, and received his Masters degree from the same university in 1925.

He was a member of Tau Beta Phi, national honorary engineering fraternity, and Sigma Xi, national honorary scientific fraternity. He was also a member of Manual Lodge No. 450, A.F. & A.M.

In 1932 he married Dorothy Zingsheim of Rawlins, Wyoming. To this union one son, William Brule, was born.

At the time of his death Mr. Johnson was employed by the Sinclair Company at Whiting, Ind.

He leaves to mourn his death his wife and six year old son, William Brule; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chris Johnson of Manning; sisters, Christine (Mrs. H.J. Hagedorn) of Jefferson; Julia, (Mrs. C.F. Berkstreeser), Sioux City; Lillian (Mrs. G.A. Willis), Rawlins, Wyoming; Juanita (Mrs. O.R. Tomlinson), Detroit, Mich., Dorothy Johnson of Rockford, Ill., Miss Esther Johnson of Manning; brothers, George Johnson of Ashland, Kentucky and Clifford of Manning.

MANNING BOY HOLDS HIGHEST RECORD
64 A's and 6 B's out of 70 Hours is Record of this Junior Engineer
Sixty-four hours of "A" out of seventy hours work and the remaining six hours "B." This is the record made by William H. Johnson S3 of Manning and, according to Dean William G. Raymond of the college of engineering, the highest record made in the history of that college. The engineers are justly proud of this record and challenge any college to produce a man with a record equal to it.

"Yes," some will say, "he picked a snap course," Wrong. In the engineering college the courses are mapped out for the students and they are allowed no electives. Well then, how does he do it. Very simple, according to Johnson. It only requires concentration while studying and a systematic arrangements for study recreation and outside activity.

He Feels Human
When asked, "How does it feel to be bright and do you ever feel superior to ordinary mortals?" he modestly asserted that he feels no different from anyone else but he definitely added that he felt elated when Dean Raymond publicly announced his standing in the engineering college, which goes to show that he is but human, after all.

"Does he study all the time?" is the next question that arises in one's mind. Hardly, as his daily schedule will disclose. Every morning at 5:30 he traverses the distance between the quad and the law building in order to spend two hours furbishing this building for occupancy by the laws. From. 8 a.m. until 4 or 5 p.m. Johnson attends classes in the engineering college and from there he must return again to the law building to continue his renovations for another two hours.

Studies in Evenings
Evenings? Yes, they are in the main devoted to study. Johnson tentatively admitted that he has neglected the social side of University life in order to study more.

Johnson entered the college of engineering in 1920. In his freshman year he took seventeen hours of work each semester and got twenty-eight hours of "A" and six of "B." The "Bs" were for three hours of English and three hours of shop work in the foundry. Johnson attributes this to the strangeness of first entering the University and lack of interest in these studies. During his sophomore year he received thirty-six hours of "A."

This year, as a junior, he his chosen as his major chemical engineering. This, as he explained, is a field opened recently and offers a wide range for research in which he is particularly interested.

He is a member of the Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity and the Tau Beat Pi, honorary engineering fraternity.

Ever since he was in the grades, he said, he has been trying to learn to concentrate while studying, and this ability to concentrate has been an important factor in his University work. Having outside work to do it is necessary for him to divide his day into regular periods for study and recreation.
