Even As The Seasons Pass Enough students to populate a fair sized city have pa ssed through the Fullerton high class- room of Miss Grace Gray Miller. Miss Miller began teaching English at FUHS in the Roaring Twenties. From the desk in her classroom she has witnessed such historic events as the Great Depression, with sad and hungry people lining the streets for want of food. At the beginning of the second World War Miss Miller sow many of her former students join the armed forces. She has been happiest, however, when peace and prosperity have been present in the United States, and she could prepare her pupils for college, not battle. Although her bulletin boards often reflect aut- umn ' s pungency, the fantasy of winter, or the rebirth in the spring. Miss Miller does not change with the seasons. Instead, she enhances each with her own unique warmth. On June 16, 1961, Miss Miller will close the door of English classroom number 36 for the last time. She will be locking behind her many years of teaching, yet simultaneously taking with her the many memories gathered through the years. Thus, to a woman whose spirit will live in the heart of Fullerton even as the seasons pass on . . . Miss Miller, to you, the 1961 Pleiades .0
