W. K. Sampson retires
after 16 years with
Texas Employment Com.
W. K. Sampson, manager of
the Denison office of the Texas
Employment Commission for the
past 16 years, has announced his
retirement to become effective
July 10. He will be succeeded
by George Wright, chief inter-
viewer and claim examiner in the
TEC office for the past twelve
years.
Mr. Sampson, whose home is at
616 E. Gandy, said he had no
immediate plans for activities
during the next few months at
least, as there will be excitement
enough for anyone for a while.
His young daughter, Kay, Den-
i on High School student, will be
marrietj to Ray Fiitts of Den-
ison on the day her father re-
tires.
Mr. Sampson came to Denison
in 1011 from the Texas Employ-
ment Commission organization to
classify labor to be used in the
construction of Denison Dam. He
v, as made manager of the TEC
office here and has remained in
that capacity tinea. Pri«r to Mil
work in Danison Mr. Sampson
worked for the organization in
the Dallas office and subsequent-
ly in the offices in Waxahachie,
Gainesville, Paris, and Kilgore.
He came to Denison from Kil-
gore and has been in the organ-
ization twenty years.
Mr. Sampson's career has not
been confined to the classifica-
tion of persons for jobs, or that
of being a confident of thous-
ands of persons whose applica-
tions for work have passed
through his hands, or that of
serving as a walking encyclopedia
of facts concerning the many bus-
iness firms with which he has
been associated through his par-
ticular and peculiar phase of
work. Kefore he became a part
of the organization to which he
has given so many years, he
served in a war and taught school
tor seventeen veals, part of that
time serving as superintendent of
schools in Wheeler, Texas. And
since that particular career did
not wholly satisfy him, he stud-
ied law, was admitted to the bar.
and maintained a private law-
practice for a number of years;
served ns district attorney; work-
ed for a time with the Old Age
Assistance program, and finally
became investigator for the Tex-
as Employment Commission.
Mr. Sampson was born in Sterl-
ing City, Sterling County, Texas
and lived there until he was
fourteen years of age. The fam-
ily moved to Hunt County and
Sampson graduated from the Van
Sickle High School, which was
named for his grandfather. He
entered college in what was then
the East Texas Normal College
in Commerce. He received his
BS degree there in 1917, the
same year the college was sold
to the state and changed its
name to East Texas State Teach-
ers College.
The young college graduate
then joined the United States
Army and served with the Texas
Thirty Sixth Division overseas in
engagements in the Argonne
Forest, St. Mihiel and Cham-
payne. It was after his return to
the states that he became a school
teacher, in which capacity he
served for seventeen years. He
passed his bar examination in
1930, after earning a BA degree
in education from Greeley Teach-
