AN APPRECIATION OF SERVICE MISS BERTHA C. MARSHALL MISS ELIZABETH DeK. PEASE MISS LAURA G. WILLGOOSE MR. WILLIS B. GIFFORD 1898-1935 1907-1935 1922-1935 1931 -1936 Brookline High School has been extremely fortunate in having among its faculty, teachers of unquestioned distinction. Many of them remain in the school, continuing to give their services to the students. Others have left, leaving the school with a great feeling of personal loss. It is hard to find another person to fill a place that is almost sacred because of the last teacher ' s contributions. There is a purpose in the life of a teacher which is far greater than the mere imparting of knowledge to students. Through the friendly counsel and guidance of many instructors, students have found themselves and the field of work for which they are best fitted. The teacher who is a friend to the pupils is giving the highest possible contribution to the school and to the individual student whose future will, in some measure, depend upon the influence of his instructors. The appreciation that a pupil feels in his heart for the t raining and understanding given by a teacher is not always expressed, but the genuine interest of the instructor, the warm, friendly manner, and the sincere endeavor to teach will long be imprinted upon his memory. 13
