WE THE CLASS OF JUNE 1950 wish to dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Ascher, our administrative assistant and dean of girls. Mrs. Ascher was born in England, educated at City College and N. Y. U., and came to us in 1946, after teaching at james Monroe and Thomas jefferson High Schools. She was also a first assistant and acting administrative assistant at Christopher Columbus High School. Cur dean of girls, intimately called Limey by her close friends, is richly qualified for her job. Her graciousness and kind understanding are attractive to the students, and they come to her readily with their problems. If Mrs. Ascher were able to create her own Utopian School, she has told us that she would include the following: a social hall for Seniors, a swimming pool, private offices for counselors, with enough counselors for more individual help, a required Home and Family Training course for all Senior girls, and no girls AVVOL, reported for smoking, wanting lunch periods or teachers changed, no bobby pins or head scarves, and of course a roof garden for weary faculty members. If Mrs. Ascher were to choose her students, they would probably resemble the following picture of an ldeal Taftite: a boy or girl with an outgoing personality and an inquiring mind, attractive, generous, considerate, and courteous, one who does the best he is capable of, and recognizes the fact that while he is often critical of parents, parents are human also. These ideals may take a while to materialize, but we feel sure that the ideal administrative assistant is already here. K. VV.
