n luemaaiam MISS MARY 1-Q. I.-XCKA Miss Iacka, for many years a leader in the educational circles of Dunkirk, passed away quietly in Brooks' Memorial Hospital, on December 27. She was a native of this city and was proud of the fact that she had spent most of her long life here. After graduation from Dunkirk High School, she attended numerous univer- sity summer sessions to further her professional training. Upon completion of fifty-one years of teaching, forty-nine of which were rendered in Dunkirk, she retired in 1934. Her first position in the Dunkirk system was at school number eight. Later she served in other public schools in the city, her last position being that of principal of the Iunior High School. In the fall of 1941, she was elected to the Board of Education and took office the following Ianuary. At the time of her death she was Chairman of the Teachers' Committee, 11 post which she faithfully filled for several years. cc Let us not mourn her goingg Let us rejoice to know That-earthly labors ended- She was prepared to go. Let us emulate her virtues That men of us may say: The World is brighter, better, Because she passed this way. page thirteen

of ' afffwfw I wish I could present to you, on the night of your graduation, a secret sure- fire formula for success and happiness in life. That, of course, is not possible. However, it is generally agreed that if one works hard and willingly, develops powers of self-control, assumes his re- sponsibilities as a citizen, and gives of his time and energy to help his fellow- man, then he will have lived a full and happy life. Thus, he will have helped 'light the world '. .W Ji! gixsigixlj- 1 ff MISS VIOLA H. COX Acting Iunior High Principal MR. RICHARD W.
