Belmont High School Mrs. Helen L. Wellington With the resignation on March 1, 1927 of Mrs. Helen L. Wellington from the School Committee with whom she has been closely affiliated for twenty-one years, the Town of Belmont suffered an irreparable loss. Mrs. Wellington inherits her interest in education, for her father was prom- inently associated with the schools of Fall River, Massachusetts, for over fifty- years. So it is not strange that she has been a devoted advocate of improvement and efficiency in our educational system. Among other innovations which this untiring worker has helped to introduce into the schools is the study of Mother- craft, whereby girls are taught the most scientific methods of feeding, clothing, and caring for infants and children. We may realize to a certain extent Mrs. Wellington’s unusual energy and activity by reviewing a list of the numerous offices which she has held. As a member of the School Board, as President of the Belmont Alliance, President of the Thursday Club, Honorary President of the Federation of Women’s Church Societies, a member of the Boston Women’s Civic Club, a member of the Repub- lican Town Committee, and a member of the Republican Town Government for three years, Mrs. Wellington has worked ardently for the welfare of her community. How r devoted was her interest is evinced by the fact that for three successive summers she gave up her time in order to take up courses at Hyannis so that she might serve the School Board more efficiently. We shall never know with what self-sacrifice Mrs. Wellington performed her services. However, it is needless to say, all of us appreciate this noble woman whose life-long devotion to all that is worth while has aroused our utmost respect and admiration. The example of her splendid career will be an inspiration to us through the years to come. 6
