H tmsucs co mrx.huFF KlD ANY SHORTRIDGE teachers have attained fame abroad, else- where in the United States, but few have been appreciated at home. Mr. Ilufford, however, was always loved by those who 4,5 knew him. This is a tribute from a colleague: vi-1 George W. Hufford was a man teaching. With him teaching work both by his attainments and his character. Beginning his f education before the days of specialties, the foundation of his scholarship was broad. By the best use of spare minutes he , 1 , made this broad foundation the basis of many scholarly attain- ments. The Greek, Latin, French, German and English languages 2 1d literature were at his command 5 to him higher mathematics was by no means a strangerg the facts of science were his acquaintances and history was his friend. Democratic by nature and imbued with the love of learning, he was ever on the alert to discover and help any person seeking an opportunity to train his faculties and increase his knowledge. With Mr. Hufford there was no aris- tocracy of intellect. He rece-Qnized no barriers to education except the lack of a desire to learn and the failvf e to make the necessary application. 1 Modesty being one of h. -.st 1'o1 est mar icteristics, the positions of honor and trust which Mr. Hufford Ktldciii the educational world were due to his pro- found scholarship and his high ty-pe of manhood. Indiana is better off for the work of this educator within her borders, for he imparted to many of her citi- zens an inspiration for learning and furnished them with a model for a noble life.

For years Miss Hamlin acted as secretary' to Principal George W. Benton. In the Shortridge ofiice she served the public, the teachers and the pupils in such a way that respect and aiection for Shortridge meant respect and affection for Miss Hamlin. Her unlimited energy, gay Wit and interest in individuals did much to preserve the social union of the school. Even after leaving Shortridge to take a position with the Indianapolis News, and up to the time of her death, she continued to be a Welcome guest at all Shortridge affairs. She was and is Our Nellie -a name by which she was known among teachers and pupils, and a name which will truly represent her upon the pages of Shortridge history. -ANGELINE CAREY.
