Miss Givan, who Avas a native of Beaver Falls, was graduated from Edinboro State Normal School. After teaching several years in her native town, she came to Clarion in Seiitember, 1893, to teach Drawing, Geography, and ITistoi v. Drawing and painting gave her great enjoy- ment. She loved good ]iictures and inspired in her pupils a love of the beautiful. In 190S when the graduates and friends of this institution sent Miss Givan to an Art Convention in London, she derived great pleas- ure from the art treasures in London, Paris and Antwerp. If she had lived until the end of tliis school year, she would have com- pleted twenty-seven years of continuous service. To hold a responsible position so many yeiars indicates great strength of character. In early life she dedicated herself to the service of Christ and l)ecame a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and Avas always faithful in her religious duties. She began this year with bright prospects and no one suspected that her bodily strength was failing. We who remain are lonesome without her presence. We believe that her influence has been greater in Western Pennsylvania than that of any other teacher. Her body Avhich lay in State in Navarre Hall, Avith a body guard of students, was literally covered with floral offerings from clubs of AA ' hich she Avas a member, from trustees of the Normal School, from the Faculty and students. The funeral services Avere held in the auditorium, Tuesday evening in charge of Professor Ballentine and in charge of Reverend F. E. Montgomery. Miss Givan ' s body was taken to Reaver Falls on Wednesday, Avhere interment Avas made. Servant of God, Avell done; Rest from thy loved employ. The battle ' s fought, the A ' ictory ' s won; Enter thy Master ' s joy. J. E. B.
