To the students of Columbia High, Miss Neuhoff was more than a teacher. She radiated happiness to all even when she her self felt low She was a friend to all and a helper when help was needed Her suffering ended with the dayg Yet lived she at its close, And breathed the long, long night away In statue-like repose. But when the sun, in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies, She passed through Glory's morning gate And walked in Paradise. --James Aldrich 56 Y W' ii. hllP ' 49.5-. .gmlffi G QOLYMBUL gpg-u-aqvvw P-S500 -952 108 Rf!
