lt is with deepest regret that we bid adieu to Nliss Niary Nlc Carthy valued counselor and teacher extraordinary Lnsparing of herself, she taught us respect for scholarship and set us an ample of devotion to duty In leaving us she is not abandon ing her vsell loved field of his tory for her work with the Buf falo Council for Foreign Affairs is but dealing with history in the making Nlay all success attend er KATHARINE SULLIVAN Friendly sympathetic - ways even-tempered Miss lxathe- rine Sullivan has shown us an example of a lady in the true sense of the word. And though she loves the great poets, she has never been unappreciative of the written efforts of her stu- dents. Her going is a loss not only to the debate team she coached so competently and to the English Department but to us all. 04' 'Wit- MARY M Mc CARTHY LUCY BURG As a teacher Miss Lucy Burg left her students with a clear and lasting knowledge of the basic principles of mathematics As a friend, she was sympathe- tic, understanding, patient, and always ready with a helping hand. In short, she left a last- ing impression on all with whom she came in contact. Thus en- deared to both faculty and stu- dents, she has our best wishes with her always.

F? dministration So, Ben, let's begin our tour with the administra- tion because, after all, it is they who are the pivot around which East High is run. Did we see a small wince? For a moment that sur- prised us, but now we understand. You are thinking of the schoolmaster of your day - that stern - looking gentleman who would never condescend a friendly smile or a bit of helpful advice, that man who usually knew little more about his subjects than it was his duty to teach, that un- enlightened gentleman who believed that the threat of the rod was the only way to get his pupils to learn. No, Ben, today's teachers are not at all like that! They know the subject matter thoroughly and are prepared to teach it in an effective and interesting way. They not only instruct us, but are prepared to aid, advise, and be- friend us. In short, they dedicate their lives to helping us grow into interesting people and effective citizens. We think you will enjoy meeting them . . ..
