MISS TENNIE SS.“ SeRING One of the faces which early became familiar to the class of 1924 was that of Miss Spring, head of the Latin department and dean of senior girls. Though her prolonged illness in 1922-23 and her death in July, 1923, deprived the class of much intimacy with her, her strong, attractive personality had already made a deep impression on many of the class. Through her long years in the school she was alert, human, humorous, and effective in her teaching; exalted in her standards of scholarship and of life; widely and deeply influential in the moral development of her pupils; conscientious and devoted in every duty. She was one of the real makers of this school and her death brought irreparable loss.

MISS CAROLINE CLOSE In 1874, Miss Caroline Close was appointed a teacher in the Cam- bridge schools. The last twelve years of her life she was the head of the english department in the High and Latin School. In that most responsible and exacting position she was eminently successful. Frail in body and at times a great sufferer, she was a giant in character and service. As a teacher she had the highest ideals, was a tireless worker, possessed a mind always open to new, ideas, and was full of a warm, human interest in all her pupils. Hundreds of students have profited much from her sympathy and wise understanding. Service with no thought of self was the outstanding characteristic Gt her live: L. L.
