IT.. OUR PRINCIP LAWRENCE E. GRIM We dedicate this edition of the Bear to a man who has gone far and done much in the field of education. He is an Alumni of B. H. S. class of 1917, and of West Chester State Normal School, class of 1919. While teaching, he furthered his own education, graduating from Albright in 1941, and receiving his degree of Master in Education from Temple University in 1943. His first teaching assignment was in a one-room school at Morysville, Pa., where he taught everything on the curriculum. In 1920 he came to Boyertown teaching the sixth grade boys. In 1923 he entered B. H. S. as an instructor in mathematics and physical education. He also assumed the job of coaching basketball, baseball and track and continued until 1938. In 1942 he became Principal of the High School and has served very well in this capacity. Although this job demands much of his time in school, he is still teaching a few mathematics and algebra classes. We, the students of Boyertown High School, gratefully acknowledge what he has done for us, and we proudly honor him-Lawrence E. Grim. E21

li MEMCRI M . .... MARY B. HEINS With the death of Miss Mary B. Heins on September 17, 1945, the pupils of Boyertown High School lost a real friend and one of the finest teachers to be found anywhere. Miss Heins took a special interest in the Senior Class. She had charge of the Senior Class play and commencement, and did expert work. She had received the position of Dean of Girls in 1942, and was well liked by the girls for her excellent advice. Even with all this extra work, she was always available and willing to answer problems of other students. Upon her graduation from Kutztown State Normal School in 1887, Miss Heins began her teaching career that same year in a one-room school at Barto, where she taught until 1919. In this year she took charge of the Bechtelsville Junior High School, and taught there until 1922, when she entered the Boyertown High School as a teacher of English until her demise. We, the pupils of Boyertown High School are deeply indebted to Miss Heins for having devoted her life to furthering our education and making us better citizens. If it were not for people like her, our great system of education would be a complete failure. And so, the 1946 Bear pays tribute to Miss Mary B. Heins. E31
