In Memoriam GRACE EVELYN LAMB June 3, 1904 — December 2, 1934 “Exceedingly brilliant of mind, another like her would be hard to find.”—Osky IVow, 1921. These were the sentiments of Grace’s classmates on the eve of her graduation from Jackson High School, 1921. Ten years later, 1931, two stars and Kappa Delta Pi, which signified “with highest honor”, were placed after Grace’s name when she secured her Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. During the years following high school graduation, Grace not only won high distinction in the academic world but also rounded out nine successful years of elementary teaching. In 1931, she was chosen teacher of English on the Junior High faculty, Jackson High School, and continued in this capacity until her untimely passing. Grace’s earthly work was well done. The happiness she radiated and the smile she wore—will continue to make sunshine evermore. HUGH B. SHAFFER Aug. 24, 1868 — Feb. 5, JQ35 Mr. Hugh B. Shaffer was a product of the Jackson schools, having graduated with the class of 1887. During most of the years of his life his residence and his place of business were within two squares of the Central School Building. His children all were graduated from the Jackson High School. Therefore in 1911 when the people elected him a member of the Board of Education, he at once proved a most valuable acquisition. For eighteen years he was repeatedly elected without opposition. He served from January 1, 1912 to December 31, 1929. He served on many special committees as the need for them arose; also he was on the Repair committee, Text Book committee and Salary committee. One of the outstanding achievements of the Board while he was a member, was the erection of the Kinnison School Building. He was also serving when steps were being taken for the erection of the Jackson High School Building. Mr. Shaffer was conservative, careful, and always dependable; indeed he was always a valuable member of the board. r T. K. Owens
