The death of Edward F. Worst, Lockport, Ioliet, and Chicago educator, brought to a close a long and useful career which began as a teacher in a one-room rural school and then advanced to the position of principal, super- intendent, college instructor, and industrial arts supervisor. Having traveled and studied abroad, Mr. Worst was considered an in- ternational authority on handicrafts and was the author of several books on that subject. His outstanding interest in others was again shown in the time devoted to teaching these handicrafts to Stateville inmates, hospitalized war veterans, and residents of homes for elderly people, as well as in his efforts to establish a craft house. As a result of his expert tutelage, many were able to reorient their lives and find new opportunities and happiness. An outstanding resident of this community, Mr. Worst gave unstintingly of his time and ability. He will be remembered as having directed the Lockport Centennial, as having served on the Lockport Grade School Board, and as having been president of Lockport Township High School Board of Education. He Was constantly interested in the wonderful things going on about him and, as a true educator, was absorbed especially in Watching the activities of youth and in contributing Whenever he could to the advancement of boys and girls. ln appreciation of Mr. Worst's interests in the behalf of high school stu- dents, a memorial service was held during which time the senior class planted a tree in his honor. ln addition to this, a Written memorial in commemoration of him Will be hung in a prominent location in our school. Mr. Worst's distinguished career will stand as a monument to the type of intellectual attainment, combined with friendly interest in one's fellowmen, that has done much to make America what she is today.
