ODEDICATION 0 To Mrs. Lulu L. Higley, a truly remarkable woman, we dedi- cate this annual. Although born in Indiana, she was educated in New York State. Her teaching career began at Livonia in 1894 at a salary of five dollars per week. Seven years later she followed her fiance to the Philippine Islands where they were married. Both Mr. and Mrs. Higley taught in the Philippines four years. They were instructors in a city school at San Sidro, seventy-five miles north of Manila, and la - ter at the mountain city of Lipa,fifty miles south of Manila. The classes they taught usually consisted of adult students. Their first son Philip was named after the islands where he was born. After returning to the United States, she was occupied with a family of three sons. When a shortage of teachers devel- oped during World War I, she patriotically replaced a draftee and with minor interruptions has been teaching from that time until the present. When the schools in this vicinity were centralized, in 1937, she came to us from district number three. Her work in the sixth grade has been a valuable contribution to our school In addi- tion to training minds, she has concentrated her efforts on de- veloping character. Her common sense, subtle humor, frankness , and integrity have inspired her students from year to year. Her travels and experiences abroad have provided background and knowledge far greater than that of teacher. Enroute to the islands, she sailed from New the Atlantic. She spent one day at Gibralter, two a t a wealth of the average York across i Malta, and three at Singapore. At Kandy, Ceylon, she saw the idol of the Buddhist Religion. On her return trip she stopped at Hong Kong, witnessed the Cherry Blossom Festival at Kioto, and had the un- usual experience of visiting the Kings's Garden at Tokio. Mrs. Higley believes that the tendency to consolidate schools is a valuable advance in education. She is convinced that teaching goes in cycles and has fads, but that the three R's are fundamental and essential, Her announced retirement this year marks the thirtieth anni- versary of her teaching. We are happy to have had seven years of pleasant and profitable association with her and wish her the restful future she so richly deserves. . 2 .H-n
