a kDedicated C C5o cilice Wiggin Scholar, Counselor, teacher, S friend SBy the Glass of 1929 Alice Wiggin’s admiration for the distinguished scholar has ever fur¬ nished to the youths, who came under her supervision, incentives to make of themselves citizens of usefulness, leaders of the next generation’s thought, and promoters of true manhood. Her students have a profound appreciation of genius in whatever g uise it may be found. She is a master in the art of teaching English literature, her travels enriching her in collating the story with the environment, thereby creating more accurate mental pictures. She is a critic capable of grasping and explaining her subject with clearness and precision by the use of short and simple words, so that her pupils ascertain what the world expects from its teachers. She shows a remarkable breadth of judgment, a patience that never wearies, a cpiiet enthusiasm which no difficulty can distort or destroy, and great insight which can give richness to literature and new meanings to old dogmas. As a friend, she loves the pupils for what they are, radiating to them by precept, sympathy and example, what she would have them be. Her creed — “Be a friend; the rest will follow.” (Dickerson) c 5’o teacher, instructor, friend “Doc,” the most familiar figure around our high school, has the love and respect of a host of students past and present. Mr. Fraser’s reputation in his chosen field of science has extended beyond his home town. His dra¬ matic talent in the fields of both acting and coaching needs no eulogy. But more than any other factors, his fine sympathy, generous kindliness, and strict sense of honor and justice have won for him a popularity which in¬ creases with the years. [ 4 ]

We are greatly indebted to Mr. Patty for the firm foundation received by us under his leadership. Because of this foundation we shall be able to enter the battle of life with well grounded chance of success. [ 6 ]
