They call to mind a woman, strong, Who long has guided the student throng. ln the days of McGovern, ninety-four She began her work, with little more Than a dream for the future with high ideal Of a commercial department she hoped to make real. The department was started in old Ryan High. The beginning was small, the goal was the sky! No two years alike, always planning things new, Her enterprise flourished and steadily grew. When Ryan High burned, and a new school was planned, 'Twas this same D. S. who worked hand-in-hand With principal, architect, citizens, board, To make needs, high ideals, and building, accord. Then on through the years, to June, twentyseight She worked for the school, both early and late. Always progressive, never at rest, She developed a department that ranks with the best. No mere words of tribute could ever express All it meant to her to achieve this success. But summed up in one indisputable truth: SHE HAS GIVEN HER LIFE TO APPL.ETON'S YOUTH! --MAY E. WEBSTER. IH'
