EDWARD L. BOWSHER To believe firmly in one's own conviction, to have the strength to convert those convictions into activities, and to possess the patience to await the fruition of one's plans are qualities which mark a man of genius. To the students and faculty of the Toledo Public Schools, our superintendent, Mr. Edward L. Bowsher, has constantly represented integrity, strength, and patience. For them he has been a wise administrator, to them he has been a loyal leader. It is indeed with much pride in the achievement of Mr. Bowsher and with much respect for his policy of steady advancement for our school system that the senior class of Libbey High School congratulates him and heartily wishes him great success.

To one who really loves his work the profession of teaching furnishes the richest rewards that one can imagine, for it stimulates and inspires con- stantly as a compensation for the effort and intensity of purpose that the earnest teacher brings to it. Surely everyone at Libbey is unanimous in believing that Miss Maude Brown is one to whom teaching has been a source of great service to others and happiness to herself. Born in Britton, Michigan, Miss Brown received her elementary and high school education in the Toledo Public Schools. Her college work, both undergraduate and graduate, was pursued at the University of Toledo, Chicago University, the University of Michigan, and Columbia University, and her teaching experience, before she came to Libbey, was gained at Erie School, Waite Cnow Booseveltl and Lincoln, where she taught at various times all grades from the third through the eighth. Her love of traveling and nature study have taken her into many interesting places, while her interest in hand- work, her gracious entertainment of friends, and her devotion to her family have made her home life a joyous one. Distinguished as having been at one time the president of the Toledo Teachers? Association, Miss Brown has also worked often on committees for curriculum building and school progress. As teacher of English, adviser of the Junior Friendship Club, and Dean of Sophomore girls, she has endeared herself to a great many of us who admire her for her sincerity, her kindness, and her ability. Thus it is with great satisfaction and sincere respect that the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty dedicates this Edelian to Gertrude Maude Brown. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ...J

HAROLD E. WILLIAMS During the sixteen years that Libbey High School has been in existence two very important things have happened. The school has grown in size, in pro- gress, and in importanceg and in equal proportion have grown the efficiency and service of the man who is in charge of it. Willing to meet every need of student, or teacher, or patron, unmindful of his own time or comfort, our principal, Mr. Harold E. Williams, has kept pace with every new step in educa- tion, has fostered high ideas within our school, and has been always an example to us of kind and gracious living. Pledging our loyalty and devotion to him and to Libbey, the Class of Nineteen Forty bids him farewell with affectionate regret.
