Bill Cook ’66 is a great guy – and in many ways his selection as the substitute for Bill Placher ’70 during Bill’s sabbatical year was a message from above.
Bill Cook has had an immediate impact on our young men so it was especially fitting this past Sunday night that Bill was initiated as an honorary member of the Sphinx Club. You can’t see it but Bill dressed for the occasion – that’s a tux he has on! When he was told to dress up, he took it seriously.
President White came out at midnight for the ceremony. It meant a great deal to the honorees to have him there.
Also initiated that evening was the guy on the right. Now, he dressed in a Wabash t-shirt, old jeans, and a flying jacket. What was he thinking?

What Tom Runge fails to mention is that he, too, was inducted into the Sphinx Club as an honorary member during the same ceremony.
I’ll echo what you said about Bill, but I’ll add that it’s an apt tribute to the hard work, efficiency, innovation, and positivity that you have brought to your office. Your dedication and enthusiasm for Wabash are infectious and inspiring. You’re Some Little Giant, and I salute you.
Wabash Always Fights!

Congrats on receiving the Sphinx Club beanie. Mine lived in a box in the basement for about 10 years. So … did they pour wintergreen in your shorts???
