In memoriam
S - JOHN H. HENDRICK
Art educators in Texas lost a long
time friend and supporter with the
death of Mr. John Hendrick on Feb-
ruary 5, 1981.
John was born in Nashville, Tennessee. He received his
education in the Nashville Public Schools, Maryville Col-
lege, and Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri where
he graduated in 1924. He was a four year letterman in high
school and college sports and coached the 1924 Louisiana
State Championship Football Team. The year he gradu-
ated from college, he married Lillian Smith of St. Louis,
and they had one son, John R., a Presbyterian minister
who is on the faculty of the Austin Presbyterian Theologi-
cal Seminary.
In 1934 John joined The American Crayon Company
and moved to Dallas as the company's Southwestern
Manager. He remained with the company for thirty-four
years until his retirement in 1968. In 1965 American
Crayon honored him as Salesman of the Year. He was
well acquainted with the philosophy of art education, and
his many innovations and promotional programs earned
him wide recognization throughout the southwest. Upon
retirement, he founded the Hendrick-Long Publishing
Company, a Texas history and art textbook publishing
firm, and during the last art textbook adoption, he also
served as a consultant for Art Education, Inc.
John was one of the most active contributors to the
Texas Art Education Association in its early years and
remained a supportive member until his death. During the
early years of TAEA, John and the American Crayon
Company helped provide many dinners and other forms of
entertainment for the entire membership at meetings and
conferences. The association could always depend upon
him for ideas and encouragement. Because of his support
of TAEA, he was one of the first persons to be awarded a
life membership in the organization.
Those who had the priviledge of knowing John Hendrick
were aware of his great interest in people and his willing-
ness to help them in any way possible. He was a person
who enjoyed life, a person of high integrity, and a great
gentleman. John will be sorely missed by the many persons
whose lives he touched.
John Hendrick is survived by his wife, Lillian of Dallas;
his son, John R. of Austin; a brother, Wallace W. of Cen-
tralia, Illinois; a sister, Virginia Donnell of Milan, Tennes-
see; five grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
