Eight A 'dirihute To MISS ALICE D. CHOATE By BYRON MOSER CCentral, 19035 ln I927, Central, the oldest high school west of the Mississippi River, lost through her voluntary retirement, Miss Alice D. Choate, who had taught Latin exclusively from the time she first joined Central's teaching staff in the early years when this school was located at l5th and Olive Streets. August 25th, I93I, Miss Choate passed to her reward, and left among her many friends a sense of irreparable loss. Miss Choate was one of the most lovable characters with whom Central High School has been blessed. Hers was a long life of service consecrated to thousands of young people. If ever any woman gave the best of her life to others, it was the capable, refined, cultured Miss Choate. The study of Latin has always been difficult to many people, but Miss Choate cleared the way to make possible its mastery for every earnest pupil under her influence. She was sympa- thetic and patient: her keen sense of duty made her persevere to the limit with those pupils to whom Latin seemed impossible. Duty was the keynote of her life. As a result of her ability, her culture, her refinement, her loyalty, her infinite patience, perseverance, and her determined desire to secure best results, Miss Choate will always be remem- laered for her beneficent influence on the lives of those who were privileged to come under her teaching. She was generous to a' fault in her life of service. She won the love and esteem of her pupils and the confidence of their parents. Many of the parents had studied under Miss Choate and all were happy to entrust their children to her wise guidance. No finer compliment could be paid a teacher. She was not only a teacher, but a beloved friend of every student entrusted to her care. The world hath no! another Of such 6nish'd, chasterfd purity.
