lIN MIEIMUIWIAM Mrs. Dolly M. Harmeyer Radiance Out of the infinite was born a soul Destined too soon this world of ours to leave, Yet though we grieve that we must be bereft Of one so gracious and so very kind, We feel that knowing her has made us rich, And every memory we have of her Is colored by the beauty of her life. I She was a loving mother, full of dreams And hopes and aspirations for the two Most precious ones who were her very life. A daughter, too, was she, most kind and dear, Who comfort brought and sympathy and love To both her parents. As a sister she Was sweet and true, loyal and understanding. To all of us she was a lovely friend, Gentle, considerate, in thought and word. And as we think of her, her memory Is like the mystic beauty of the spring With myriad echoes of eternity.

I A TRI TUTJE How may we measure the scope of a good teacher's influ- ence? How shall we reward this marvelous power? Who can guage the result of the work of fifteen persons working consis- tently in a community for a quarter of a century? What hearts have been lightened by them? What characters molded? What lessons have been taught and learned? When Libbey High School was opened in the fall of nine- teen hundred twenty-three with Harold E. Williams as princi- pal, the faculty included fifty-one members, representing ten departments. 0f that original group there are fifteen members still on the staff, representing eight departments. Travel throughout te United States, Europe, and South America, hours of graduate study in both foreign and American universities, and the pursuance of hobbies for richer experiences have en- abled these teachers to offer a background of a unique variety which has had a most important influence upon the school and the community. Almost alliof these teachers have continued to work as advisers in extra-curricular activities, many of them have functioned as heads or chairmen of departments. Some of them have consistently produced the publications which have brought such great credit to Libbey. All of them have been loyal, steadfast, and true in their effort to promote educa- tion and make Libbey the outstanding school that it is. The twenty-five year roll of honor includes the following teachers: W. R. Alexander and Edward Packer, Industrial Arts, Hazel Bartley, Fine Arts, Francis Boyle and Frederick Vossler, Science, Pauline E. Burton, Alma Lok, and Mary Russell, Lan- guages, Ruth Anne Dusha, Florence Gerdes, Virginia May, and Zoe Scott, English, Ella Feller, Social Science, Mary Kelso, Health, and Isla Owens, Home Economics. Libbey High School is proud of these fifteen faculty mem- bers and grateful to them beyond measure of expression. May they remain with us for many years, exercising the same schol- arly influence and enricching us with the warmth of their friendship and their zeal for the betterment of our South Side Community.
