I isHx------- T 6uchston e ZDOsJ Carrie C. jflpens (’arm E. Myers, the friend and invaluable instructor of the students of M. S. N. S.. was horn in the little town of Mountville. which lies not far from the school to which she has given most of her years of active and inestimable service. The first school to claim her as its pupil was the school of Mountville. From the Mountville school she went to Lancaster High School, graduating there in 1881. Three years later found her a graduate again—this time tin- favored place was M. S. N. S. Feeling that she would like to drink deeper from the fountain of Pierian, she went to Cook County Normal, better known jus Col. Parker's School of Chicago, Illinois. As a result, the class of 1891 of that institution has her recorded as its valedictorian. She began her successful teaching career in the rural schools of West llempfield Township and gained much practical experience from that district. She taught for two years in Col. Parker's School in Chicago, and then in 1898 she returned to the county of her birth to lake up her work at the Model School. She was the associate principal with Miss Taylor for some years. The year after Mr. Ilurhold left the Model School, she became principal, assuming the duties until a suitable man could be obtained. When Professor Kravbill came, she became assistant principal, which position she now holds. Hv this we see that much of her excellent pedagogical training and ability has been exerted on the Model School and much credit is due her for its steady advancement in all lines of work. Miss Myers has augmented her knowledge by some traveling. Although she has never been abroad, she has seen many of the wonders and beauties of her own land, having been to the Middle West. Fast, and South of the I nitcd States. These trips have not only given her much pleasure, but she has also received much source material. One of her chief and most admirable teaching characteristics is that of fairness. No matter if a student fails or succeeds under her instruction, that student will admit that the grade received was just. She is usually correct in her judgment, but she sometimes makes mistakes. She turns this universal failing into a virtue by her willingness to acknowledge her error to the person concerned. She has many more esteemed characteristics. but fairness seems to be intertwined with her name by all students. Her genial disposition is another of her personal attributes. Her pleasant greeting and cheerful smile are known by all who have met her. In order to express our appreciation, we have dedicated this book to her. It seems but little for the much she has given, but if each one of the class of '19 gives to the world his best, she will feel amply repaid for her labors with us.
