MRS BEATRICE BROWN IN APPRECIATION For the past twenty years every Breck student who has gone through the Fifth and Sixth grades has been privileged to have had Mrs. Beatrice Brown for an F.nglish teacher. We use the word privileged because the students who have been in her classes have been taught by a truly extraordinary teacher. Mrs. Brown has the rare ability of being able to stimulate her pupils to great accomplishment and arouse in them an interest in the study of F.nglish. She is noted for her ability as a grammarian and with this skill she is able to give her students a Firm foundation in sentence structure which aids them greatly in later years not only in English, but also in foreign language studies. Her unique method of introducing grammar with its sentence “skeletons and “engine verbs will long be remembered by Breck students. Now, on her retirement after two decades of faithful service to Breck students, we wish to offer our sincerest thanks and good wishes to one of Breek’s finest teachers, Mrs. Beatrice Brown. 15
