THE ANGELUS . 1936 l MARY E. ADK1ssoN We don't realize how much of a void is left by the absence of a teacher until he or she is actually gone and there is no one who can quite seern to take the place of the familiar face that we have come to know. We are losing two of our best- known teachers, Mrs. Adkisson and Mr. Parker, this june, but we are not losing the .results of their long years of willing teaching and friendship. We have all felt the intrigue and curio- sity enclosed in Mrs. Adkisson's drama room, for who of us doesn't get a thrill out of her tiny schoolroom stage, her mysterious box of costumes, and her quaint -puppets, with their funny mov- able joints and tiny wigs and costumes? Mrs. Adkisson has given herself freely to teaching the fundamentals and finer points of the true drama to those eager to hold a portion of her knowledge, and she is surely entitled to a full enjoyment of the six months trip she has planned Qbegin- ning in Junej to those far away lands of excitement and color: the South Seas, Twenty Honolulu, Tahiti, and Australia. Perhaps when she returns she'll bring some mar- ionettes representative of those countries for us to enjoy. Mr. Parker's name has always been ac- companied by a sense of awe for anyone who could possibly understand all the involved parts of the higher mathematics that he teaches. It has been even more of a mystery to us that he could unfold his plentiful knowledge in so understanding a way to struggling beginners in mathe- matical fields. A true feeling of respect and admira- tion is held for Mr. Parker by his pupils, and he will be greatly missed by all who have known him at school, whether or not they have taken their math from him. We heartily endorse Mr. Parker's plans for a future Hlled with leisurely travel, extensive reading, and the general freedom of his new life. CATHERINE ST. CLAIR
