■ ■: »!• »!» !■ c5 tribute MISS LOLA I. PERKINS Indeed Manual has lost a true friend! When on May 1, Miss Lola I. Perkins passed away, grief filled the hearts of Manual students, graduates and faculty members. The fact that Miss Perkins had such close contact with senior classes placed an additional bereavement upon the June ' 35 senior class. During- her twenty-two years of loyal, faithful and efficient service to Manual Training High School, Miss Perkins gave unselfishly of her time and efforts toward whatever cause she might be working. Upon her ar- rival at Manual, Miss Perkins assumed charge of the senior class plays, and continued this work until her death. The many class plays which have been coached by her have brought oustanding recognition to Manual. While Miss Perkins was a member of the faculty at Manual, hardly a dramatic production Avas held for which she was not consulted. When- ever she was asked to aid in some dramatic event or any other project, to be more exact, the word no seemed to be a forgotten one in Miss Perk- ins ' vocabulary. The influence of Miss Perkins ' character will live for years to come in all the students and teachers who knew her. It would lie an extremely difficult task to name a better example of true womanhood than this beloved instructor. Like the mythical Abou Ben Adhem, Miss Perkins served her fellowman with unfailing devotion and also was an ardent server of her re- ligious faith as was shown by her strong interest in church affairs. The name of Miss Perkins rightfully should be included among Man- ual ' s Immortals for if anyone ever achieved well-deserved greatness, it was she. There is probably no better way of expressing the great loss which has been mournfully suffered by all concerned than to repeat the words of a friend who when he heard of the tragedy said, We shall miss Lola Perkins more than we now can know.
