MISS JULIA B. CLIFFORD THE year of nineteen-sixtecn is one of many changes and farewells in East 1 iigh School. Not least among those leaving is Miss Julia B. Clifford, instructor in botany and domestic science. She has been with us for many years, and her departure will leave a place hard to fill. Miss Clifford during her long stay at East High has always held the interest of the school at heart; she has been a friend especially to the girls, and has done all within her power to help and protect their interest in the school. Until this last year. Miss Clifford has had entire supervision of the botany work here. Due to her persistent effort and excellent work with this study, East was one of the first high schools in the state to be put on the list of schools with accredited botany work at the University. M iss Clifford has clone much to increase the interest in the study of botany, not only at East, hut in all of the local high schools. She was one of the first people in Minneapolis to advocate conservatories for the city schools. Therefore, thru her long standing and intimate friendships with the people who are interested in this line of educational work, Miss Clifford will be missed by a larger circle of friends than just those at East 1 Iigh. But even here her circle of friends among both students and teachers is large. East High wishes you success, wherever you may be. Miss Clifford. We shall miss you, but yet we would not wish to keep you from greater happiness in some other place, and we hope that you may succeed as well hereafter as you have at East High School. R. E. W.

MISS PEDERSON YJf HENEYKR we enter that awe-inspiring sanctuary known as Mr. W Webster’s office, whether in time of prosperity or in time of trouble, we are always greeted by the cheering smile of Miss Nora Pederson. No matter how late the hour or how busy she is, she is always willing to help us and answer our trifling questions. Where would we he if it were not for her aid? “I’ve lost my purse; I’ll ask Miss Pederson.” “Pardon me, may I use the telephone?” “May I see my dismissal card? I want to count my credits.” These are only a few of the questions which interrupt her in the course of her daily work. As Mr. Webster’s secretary she has been his able assistant tor the past five years. When Miss Pederson is absent, the school machinery stops. Her value to the school is beyond estimation. She is a favorite with faculty and student body alike. [ 271
