Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north winclls breath, And stars to set-but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh Death! -Hemans RENA LAUVER With the passing of Miss Rena Lauver, the Altoona High School lost an able teacher. Miss Lauver, as Girls' Attendance Director, had a wide contact with students, and thus became an influential member of the faculty. Her work as an instructor was in the English Department. She was a woman of line intellectual attainments, a teacher with a keen sense of humor which enabled her to rise above petty annoy- ances. Her unostentatious courage well deserves the tribute of Mr. Laramy, '4Rena Lauver knew well that her days were numbered. Yet she held bravely to her Work, proving that the way of service is the best way in life. GERTRUDE WRAY With the death of Miss Gertrude Wray, recently retired member of the Altoona High School faculty, her friends sustained a loss which is keenly felt and deeply regretted. She enjoyed a rich and varied teaching career, the last seven years of which were spent in the English Department of the Altoona High School. Miss Wray, whose especial interest was Modern Literature, was unusually successful in the development of student creative ability and literary discrimination. Gertrude Wray will long be remembered for her sense of humor, her liberal Views, and, above all, her inspiring power. Page Thirteen
