RALPH M. SPRAGUE ln Memoriam A friend passes from our midst and we are oppressed with a weight that is fraught with sorrow and pain. Days lengthen into a year and at its close we find that a potent, invisible force has light- ened our burden of grief, replacing it by a beautiful memory that grows ever stronger as we realize that the influence of this friend who dwelt with us for so many years will always be a part of our Libbey traditions. At the opening of our school in 1923, Mr. Sprague came from the Woodward school for boys, where he had been Junior Study Room Supervisor, to serve here as Head of the Mathematics Depart- ment, Affectionately called Dad, he was beloved by all of us, students and teachers alike. As a teacher, he was kindly and considerate, alert and active, well prepared and tireless. He had a keen understanding of youth and a rare faculty for friendship with all. His philosophy of life was one of optimistic faith in God and man and in the ultimate triumph of good in every individual. We have sadly missed his sympathetic, genial friendship, but just as in the past we have been guided by his sage Counsel and encouraged by his interest, so shall we, as we hear his name or think upon his splendid character, remember his teachings and be glad that we have known him. He shall never be forgotten at Libbey. l7
