Iln fllvmnriam HATTIE MARIA HOLT THE memory of one who was at the same time friend. counselor, and teacher will linger long with those who knew Miss Hattie M. Holt, for many years head of the Latin department of Cranston High School. In her classes she ever strove to instill a deep appreciation of the classics which she loved so dearly. As senior class adviser, Miss Holt was always willing to lend a hand when needed or to offer some helpful suggestion. Indeed, hers was a life of true service and devotion.

After a year as student instructor in the history de- partment, she became a regular member of our faculty in the fall of 1939.
