Flatz .ibecbcafion Mrs. Hazel Flatz, a member of Libbey's faculty for thirty-eight years and chairman of the Business Education Department for twenty years, will be sadly missed by both the members of the faculty and the students of Libbey. Possessing exceptional organizational ability, Mrs. Flatz has helped her department to become one of the strongest in the city. Students from this department have been eagerly sought by industry in Toledo and surrounding areas, and many have been encouraged to further their education in this Held. A Libbey service club, the Future Business Leaders of America, has had a remarkable growth and has received many honors, both locally and nationally, under her leader- ship. Members of her department have had many reasons to feel her warmth and loyalty, and they have, in turn, freely given her their cooperation and respect. Always will- ing to take on extra responsibilities, she served for many years as chairman of the committee to plan the annual teachers' Christmas dinner, and she also handled the H' nances for the senior banquet. In addition to her duties here, Mrs. Flatz has taught in Toledo night school for ten years, in Toledo summer school for thirteen years, and has been a cooperating teacher for the University of Toledo for almost twenty years. Many successful teachers, some of whom have returned to Libbey for full-time teaching, received their training in her classes. Her travels have included points of interest in all states east of the Mississippi and in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada. She is a member of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Triune Chapter of Order of Eastern Star, Alpha Delta Pi Alumni Club, Ohio Business Teachers, Ohio Education Association, the Schoolwomen's Club, and she is currently chairman of the auditing committee of the Toledo Teachers Association. Her plans after retirement are indefinite at present, but they include the building of a new summer home in Le- land, Michigan. Whatever her future holds, Mrs. Flatz's life, we feel sure, will continue to be active and productive.

Footsteps on the stairs-the quick, eager footsteps of students intent on the pursuit of academic excellence, the strong, vigorous footsteps of Libbey athletesg the quiet, deliberate footsteps of hundreds of teachers with a single purpose-all these, and more, have left their marks on the stairways of Libbey since her doors were opened forty years ago. During these forty years thousands of students have progressed, step by step, on the stairway of learning. For freshmen, the first steps were knowledge and friendship, for sophomores, they were knowledge, friendship, and loyalty to Libbey, for the juniors, they were knowledge, friendship, loyalty, and initiative, and for the seniors, they were all these things, plus maturity and judgment. Today's awed freshmen, confident sophomores, questioning juniors and mature seniors climb these stairways with the same goals in mind as did those first Libbey stu- dents in 1923. But these challenging times bring fresh realization that another, steeper stairway must be scaled before this year's graduates can make their full contributioius to society. In this Edelian of 1963, the Senior Class is happy to present pictorially the stairways of Libbey, not only as interesting architectural structures but also as symbols of important steps in the process of learning. 12452 :SZ

Completing her fortieth year as a teacher at Libbey, Miss Virginia May has earned a place of honor in the 1963 Edeliaaz on this fortieth anniversary of Libbey High School. She began as a teacher of English but transferred later to the Orientation Department. Her interests and study have been wide. While com- pleting her studies for the M.A. degree in English at Colum- bia University, Miss May's attention was attracted to the counselling and guidance courses this university was pioneer- ing. Later on, she enrolled in the Guidance Department and was the first Toledo teacher to receive a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling and Guidance at Columbia Uni- versity. Miss May next attended the Graduate School of the Uni- versity of Michigan, specializing in Speech and Radio. She represented Libbey High School on The English Series of the Toledo School of the Air, speaking on the topic, Com- mon Stumbling Blocks in English. As an extra-curricular activity, Miss May conducted, after school, educational tours, in order to train her stu- dents for better citizenship, by giving them first-hand information about some of our local institutions that are assisted by The United Appeal Fund. Among the many places the pupils visited were: homes for the aged, chil- dren's homes, Toledo Day Nursery, and the Toledo So- ciety for the Blind. For the past twenty years, Miss May has directed the junior Red Cross Society. The students annually made thousands of holiday tray favors for the Toledo Homes for the Aged, all the hospitals in Toledo, as Well as for Veterans Hospitals throughout the country. All departments at Libbey cooperated in the projects. Libbey High School art was sent to countries throughout the world. Recreational chests were made and filled for our soldiers overseas, hun- dreds of articles of costume jewelry were collected to cheer patients at Toledo State Hospital, and thousands of hand- made flowers were made for the patients' annual spring dance. In the course of the years, Miss May and Libbey students filled over two thousand junior Red Cross gift boxes for the needy children of the world. Having traveled throughout the United States and Cana- da, Miss May hopes, in the future, to visit many other countries. She thin 's that since God made such a marvelous world, we really ought to see it. Miss May epitomizes the following motto of the junior Red Cross: llVe serve. NHL.
