A Erihute During the summer of l03Z Central High School lost by resig- nation two teachers whose careers more or less paralleled each other. not only as to the length of service but also as to the department served. Ifor more than thirty years Miss Margaret li. Baker and Miss Carrie li. Grifhth taught side by side in the Held of English. During the period of their service the high school population of the city grew from a few hundred occupying a single building, to six high school units with more than hfteen thousand boys and girls enrolled. During these eventful years the high school curriculum has changed in many respects, but the chosen Held of Miss Baker and Miss Griffith has been one of the core subjects. To them belongs the credit of having each contributed a life time of earnest and faithful devotion to teaching hundreds of young people the fundamentals of the linglish language. as well as the beauties of its literature. They have both left a lasting impress upon the minds and hearts of a large body of youth who had the privilege of attending their classes. No one may ever know exactly how extensive their beneftcent influ- ence has been. but there can be no doubt of the sincerity and genuineness of their work. and of the high quality of their services to the youth of St. l.ouis. Central High School extends its sincere appreciation to both of these excellent women as they terminate their active services in the school, and wishes for each of them a happy and merited leisure, after a life of untiring devotion to the cause of education.

ilu iiirmuritnn Paul H. Conant joined the Central High School faculty in October, 1928. in the capacity of teacher of Social Science and Footf ball Coach. Before he had completed his fourth year of service here, ill health compelled him to take a leave of absence, and in October. 1932, he died. During the compara- tively short time that he worked in this school. Mr. 1 Conant impressed both his pupils and his fellow- teachers with his quiet sin- cerity, and with his un- selfish devotion to duty. In his passing, Central High School has lost a man of sterling qualities and of high moral and in- tellectual ideals. It is with deep regret that we are obliged to record his untimely departure. XVe pause in the midst of the days work to pay a loving tribute to hs memory. and to express the conviction that his influence will continue to live in the hearts and minds of those who had the privilege of working with him.
