MR. CECIL T- Mastrer’s ASSISTANT DERRY We have sometimes thought her cold and removed; but after knowing her, we realize that she is, in truth, deeply sympathetic, that one of her chief interests is our welfare. As a teacher of Latin and German, she is extra- ordinarily adept; but not only for this will we, in later years, remember her with much gratitude. Her untiring efforts to make a success of our School paper, her generous and wise advice with regard to the Year Book have endeared her to us as a teacher, adviser, and friend. Page 17 All of us who have gone through the early stages of “‘amo, amas” into the trials and tribulations of Caesar, know Mr. Derry. Having known him, we shall always be henented by his bounteously stocked mind. To. talk with him is a source of unique infor- mation. His conversation is an unusual treat because of unusual whimseys and expressions. Cicero, Ovid, and Virgil have become almost real through his quaint character sketches. He is de- lightful in class-room, lecture-hall, or in private conference. We shall remember him not in one of these roles, but in all three. MISS MARY C. MaAsrTer’s ASSISTANT HARDY

MISS ANNA P. BUTLER HEADMASTER’S ASSISTANT She has certainly been favored by the gods beyond others. We question whether the gods are just; and this is our grievance. Why should one person hav e everything; an astute intelligence and a nimble tongue with which to master French and Spanish, the ability to plant those languages in the minds of unappreciative pupils, the golden act of conversation, and last, to spice them all with a bit of human nature, subtle wit and humor? However, since we are allowed to participate in her gifts and to reap the benefit of them, we will forgive the gods and submit to the inevitable. We unanimously extend to her the sincere admiration due to her extensive knowledge of our own English language, a subject both difficult and involved. She has bestowed on us a gift which we shall carry to our graves, the love of poetry, which she possesses in so great a measure. Her dry humor, her frank- ness and honesty have created in us a respect and an affection for her, as well as for the virtues she so well exemplifies. MISS HENRIETTA E. HEADMASTER’S McINTIRE ASSISTANT Page 16

When we, as sophomores, first gained the privilege of studying elocution and of becoming acquainted with Miss Hartigan, we were overawed by the power of her voice. “‘Drastic’”’ scarcely would describe her methods of obtain- ing this very desirable volume from us. As we grew older and less timid, we discovered in her a delightful friend. We never could find opportunity enough to talk to her as we wished. Always there was a laughing, chatting group about her. In Miss Hartigan, more than in any other, did we find a warm, personal friend interested in all we did. Never did she fail to give sensible advice or understanding sympathy. Those who gained her friendship prized it dearly. We can think of no greater pleasure awaiting underclassmen than the privilege of meeting, and knowing MISS LILLIAN R. HARTIGAN Miss Hartigan. Masrer’s ASSISTANT A’ Everyone has noticed the remarkable improvement in the Latin School lunch room this past year. For this alone we owe Miss Harrington a perpetual vote of gratitude. Nobody would object to sampling the luscious food that the cooking classes produce under her direc- tion. Her home economics club will testify to that, as weil as to her cheery goodfellowship. School would be, after all, a rather dismal place without her sunny smile. If ever it is decided to add to the list of the Muses, we undoubt- edly would advocate that Miss Harring- ton be installed as the white clad patroness of the culinary arts. Do you not agree?
