Progress through Vision ■“HERE is in Abington High School an honor graduate of the Philadelphia High School for Girls, accredited with summa cunt laude standing in Bucknell University, having an A.B. and an A.M. degree from that institution, a graduate student at Pennsylvania and Columbia universities, a woman, ambitious, persevering, far-seeing. Through a busy career of forging her way into the foremost ranks of English teachers runs a strain of pure gold, years of understanding and service without glory, devoted to building up ideals and traditions for school publications. To the Central Interscholastic Press Association’ The Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, this pioneer has offered up drudgery and dreams, work and vision. Material recognition has recently come to this servant of her school and her profession, a gold key given by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for nationally outstanding work in the field of school publications, one of the first five awards ever made for distinction in the promotion of scholastic journalism. To this woman, Miss Gertrude L. Turner, a teacher of English in Abington High School, the Classes of 1930 wish to dedicate the Year Book.
