Zin Memoriam Miss Zlaighee The school lost one of its most prominent and respected teachers when Miss Juva Hig- bee died in September, 1942, in Buffalo, New York. Miss Higbee had been con- nected with the University and public schools from 1927 to 1942. The many colorful oper- ettas which Ann Arbor High School's choral groups present- ed under Miss Higbee's capable direction were always a delight- ful feature of the year, while A Cappella Choir and glee clubs reached a high standard under her baton. For thirteen years she directed the youth chorus for the May Festival. The school will hold the memory of Miss Higbee before them for long years to come. Miss Seeley The sudden death of Miss Frances Seeley on April 13th came as a grievous shock to both students and faculty. Be- cause of her friendliness and pleasing personality, hundreds of graduates recall Miss Seeley with much pleasure. A tireless worker, besides teaching French and Spanish she was for many years co-sponsor of the Wash- ington Club. Although we miss her deeply, there will always be a loving' remembrance in the hearts of her friends as we think of the days when Miss Seeley worked with us.

Johnny Q. Student was having a dream: one of those in which the details are so real but the main ideas so impossible. john Q. was approaching the front door of good old Ann Arbor Hightfor reference, see end sheetj at 8:361!2 A.M. He was worrying. What would his first-hour teacher say about his being late for the third time in a week? But there, just inside the door, ranged row on row on the marble stairs, the whole faculty confronted him: QAII pictures taken on Dreamographic film, guaranteed not to fade, crack, or wake up.j Then suddenly one of the teachers was speaking: For once, John, you're not going to do the reciting, we are. Don't you realize that there's a war on? Here you lie at home in bed sleeping! But some of the other teach- ers have opinions on our lives in the war. Will you start, Miss Parry? Miss Parry: - Students and teachers should remember, in this war year and al- ways, to be unsellish. The United States is the strongest, wealthiest, and most influential of all the countries of the world. Can you and I help make it the fairest, wisest, and most just nation at the peace table? Mrs. Dunlap:-- We must not lose sight of the hopes and ideals which we had set up for ourselves before the war began. Mrs. Doyle:- If we are to be able to make necessary readjustments, we should not forget to protect our physical and mental health. Mr. Granville:- If each one of us does his part in every way now, the war will end sooner. Miss Eberbach:- Hard work, discipline, and thoroughness are paramount. Many val- ues, however, are intangible and cannot be measured by mechanical devices, for these, LTY intelligence, fairness, and honesty are the measuring stick? Miss Hammann:- If democracy is to sur- vive, we must share the responsibility of that democracy. Mr. Gary:- Students should not forget that it is their duty, not just their privilege, to mature and develop themselves to the utmost of their capacity. Time squandered during this war period is nothing short of sabotage of manpower. Miss Zoller:- We must help our country win this war, but we must not forget our coun- try after the war. We can do both if we sacri- fice with courage and judgment. Mrs. Potter:- Let's remember that gos- siping in wartime is dangerous. just consider that until founded on trustworthy authority all tales are rumor. Mr. Dahlberg:- If we have a self-trained army of seven million men prepared to carry on a iight in wartime and an army of seven million boys and girls unprepared to carry on a light in peace time, we might still be de- feated. Students must make ready to win the peace. Miss Piisterer:- The one thing that we must recognize constantly is that a better world awaits us not in the hazy future but within our grasp now-today. Miss Van Kleek:-f'We should live as far as possible the normal life we had planned before abnormal conditions arose. Mr. Drake:- Above all keep your sense of humor. Don't be a crab. If you have ever noticed a crab, it moves backward when it moves at all. Half a dozen others were clamoring to speak when brrrrrr--, the alarm clock broke in. i
