Sixteen MISS EDNA I., EARNEST Cheerful, alert, friendly, and helpful as she was when the doors of Manual first opened in IQO9, Miss Edna L, Earnest, teacher of English here for twenty-eight years, resigned her position at Christmas time of this year and left the loved halls of the school, never to return as a teacher, Miss Earnest has entered new fields of activity, but in Manual and in the hearts of many loyal Manualites, her influence will live on through the years, Peoria men and women in all walks of life exemplify her fine teaching, Coming here as an experienced teacher from the Franklin School in l909, Miss Earnest was instrumental in building up many of the traditions and institutions of Manual, During the principalship of the late Mr, NN, N. Brown, she helped found the school paper, which first appeared as a magazine. It was she who gave it the name, The Manual, and later she was faculty adviser of it for several years, Erom the beginning she has been a factor in the selecting and placing of pictures and statuary in the building. The beautiful SIR CALAHAD SERIES, given by various classes and clubs, is a lasting monument to her, who loved beauty and realized its influence on young lives. For many years she has annually told the Sir Galahad story in order that freshmen and sophomores might better understand and appreciate the pictures, During Miss Earnest's years as adviser of the Student Council, the latter estab- lished Social I-lour, purchased the ditto machine, curtains and a silk flag for the stage, and a bronze plaque for the I93O State Champions in basketball, For years she was adviser of the freshmen and was known throughout the school as the ERESI-IMEIXIS FRIEND, When Manual became a three year high school, she served for a time as adviser for the sophomores. Interested in all kinds of athletics, from the earliest days she followed the fortunes of the various teams, and even coached girls' basketball teams in early years. She kept in touch with and corresponded with over three hundred Manual boys in the Vforld War and worked for the tablets in memory of these boys. She is largely responsible for the perpetuation of the custom of having the memorial basket of flowers in the auditorium each Armistice Day. These are some of the things which Miss Earnest has done during her twenty- eight years at Manual, But who can enumerate all those things which made her an integral part of our school? ln the hearts of many are engraved little kindnesses, words of encouragement, and the memory of a helping hand of which the world may never know, but which entitle Miss Earnest to be called not only the ERESI-lMElXl'S FRIEND but MANUALS FRIEND.

Russell His ideals and those things for which he stood will be reflected in Manual school life long after he will have been forgotten by future student bodies The school was fortunate in the selection of Dr. john Voss as his successor, for he is qualified both by training and experience to carry on the task which had been so efficiently administered by his predecessor. Mr. Voss attended Bradley Polytechnic academy during the early years of its existence and completed two years of college work before transferring to Knox College, from which he received a Bachelor of Science degree in l9l9. The University of Chicago was his alma mater for his gradu- ate work. He obtained his MS. in T925 and the PhD, was conferred upon him in T933 Before coming to Peoria Manual, as a teacher of biology, he taught at Elgin, Roseville, and Arlington Heights High Schools. ln T935 he was appointed principal of Washington grade school to succeed Mrs Love, from which position he returned to Manual to fill the vacancy created by the death of his former principal and co-worker, Mr, W, C. Russell. Willis Harms and Miss Cladys Miller, former Manual teachers, became a part of the faculty of the new Woodruff High School at its opening in September, teaching mechanical drawing and stenography, respectively. Stuart Becker assumed the former duties of Mr. Harms as assistant coach in the physical education department, and his position in the mathematics department was taken by Theodore Van Beuning. Mr, Van Beuning secured his bachelor's degree at Bradley and formerly taught at Theodore Roosevelt junior High School. Upon the retirement of Anthony Middleton as principal of Harrison School, l, Weston Harding, who taught in the commercial department at Manual, was ap- pointed to fill this vacancy. To him may be accredited the success of numerous Senior Boys' Minstrels, and many will remember him for the frolics and good times they enjoyed through the Senior Boys' Club. The Commercial department also lost E. Leslie limison through his appointment as principal of the new Coolidge elementary school in West Peoria, Mr. limison for many years was the financial manager of football at Manual. Miss Flora Ebaugh has secured a leave of absence and is traveling extensively and visiting a sister in India. Mrs, Arthur Esslinger taught her history classes the first semester and Mrs, XfVilmarth, the second. Other additions to the faculty are Michael Loukitis, a graduate of Manual, and Donald Coulter, both of whom received their degrees at Bradleyf Mr. Loukitis was formerly employed at Roosevelt junior High School and is doing graduate work at the University of Iowa, Mr, Coulter, in addition to his classroom work, found time for baseball while at college, After graduation he was elected to a teaching position at Raymond, lllinois, and later became assistant principal at Clen Oak School, in Peoria, Miss McElwee, who is now teaching commercial geography, was transferred to Manual from Peoria Central High School. The holiday season brought the announcement of the retirement of Miss Edna L. Earnest, who was completing a period of fifty years of successful teaching Thus another replacement became necessary, and Miss Helen Munsterman was added to the English department, Miss Munsterman received her education at Bradley and taught both English and Latin previously at Columbia lunior High School, Miss Evelyn Maleham felt the sting of cupid's darts and resigned her position at the end of the first semester to enter the bonds of matrimony. Mr, lohn Q, Sapp, a graduate of Normal University and former teacher at Irving School, became her successor. The commercial department received two part-time teachers the second semester, Mrs, Hazel B. Hoffman and Mr. Norman, THE MIRROR OF 1938 K 4
