Miss Anna M. Mashek After Miss Mashek resigned in January, the faculty honored her at a tea and presented her with a gift and a scroll. We are quoting this scroll because it so well characterizes Miss Mashek's twenty-three years of service for Central. An expression of appreciation from the faculty for her contribution to school life in maintaining a high standard in her classes, promoting real school spirit, encouraging the slow student, and spurring on the laggard. To one Whose inspiration was felt not only by the students under her guidance, but also by her co-workers. Realizing that the students of Central would cherish a personal message from Miss Mashek, we Were able to persuade her to write the following: TO THE YOUNG WEAVERS OF LIFE PATTERNS In the years that I shared the life of Central High School, thousands of young Weavers of life patterns passed in review before me. Some there were that were ever busy at their strong looms, working with zest and purpose. Others there were Who were enthusiastic over patterns still in their dreaming, but alas their handsome looms often stood idle. Now and again I watched young Weavers persistently, joyously working, tho their looms were unsteady, their shuttles rough, their threads often breaking. Many years have passed since I stood beside the looms of some of these Weavers. Now and again I see their still growing patterns. Ever at their looms they are plying their shuttles, the fabrics beside them lengthy and varied. Some 'fabrics there are drab, but sturdy and usefulgi others, exquisite in color and texture, reflecting the dreams of young Weavers who with crude shuttles at unsteady looms had joyously expressed their longings. Some there are torn and unfinished, the Weavers unhappy, despairing. And this, Young Weavers, remember: The pattern tomorrow grows sturdy, is lovely and useful, if yesterday's Weaving showed purpose, if today's is joyous, persistent. Anna M. Mashek.
