XV ff J Mf if fx X ff-' Y' fig J I , K ls 'I' V , h W , 9 i , y , S, The Miriam Allen Scholarship Fund Time was when Galion High had no scholarship to offer, but that time is now gone forever. Through the efforts and generosity of an alumnus of the school, Miss Miriam Allen, this scholarship fund was made possible. While a student of G. H. S. Miss Allen took part in many activities and was especially popular because of her marked musical ability. After her graduation in 1908 she studied piano under several of the country s Hnest teachers and then began her concert career which has been eventful and brilliantly successful. For the past several years she has been accom panist for Zlatko Balokovic the talented violinist and it was entirely due to her efforts that the most Wonderful concert heard in years by Galion people, was presented. She and Mr. Balokovic also appeared on a chapel program and the manner in which they were received gave proof of the students' appreciation. Miss Allen used the proceeds from the concert as a basis for the scholarship fund. According to her plans the award, a two hundred dollar scholarship, is to be given to the member of each graduating class having the best scholastic and citizenship record. Scholarship alone will not be the winning feature, but value to the school, leadership, participation in school activities and good school citizenship will all be equally considered This year for the first time, when the class of '26 receives their diplomas, an award will be made. It is impossible to tell at this time who will be the first to have the honor conferred upon them. The need of a fund of this kind has been long felt but it took a person of Miss Allen's enthusiasm and ambition to make the need a realization. The establishing of this fund has proved in many ways Miss Allen s real Galion spirit. It is indeed inspiring to think of a spirit so great that after many years away from the Alma Mater the old feeling can bring forth such rich fruits. That sort of spirit defines the type existing in Galion High School The united forces of the school and Alumni join in thanking Miss Allen for her splendid gift. Fourteen

IVIISS MARY MATHER Latin. A. B. Onio W'esleyan Miss Mather teaches the so-called dead lan- guage, However, she has a way of impressing it upon one's mind, so the Latinites do not readily forget their Gaul est divisa in partes tres. She was thc Class of 26's Advisor last year and in no small way contributed to the success of the reception and play. For it's a. well-known fact that whatever Miss Mather promotes goes over the top. Miss HELEN CHRISTY Bkkg., Business English, Ohio University Miss Christy is the petit lady who is so fond of writing maxims on the blackboard. She knows bookkeeping' from A to Z and explains it so clearly that nowadays students no longer need to stay up until the wee sma' hours trying to make a trial balance. Another of her jobs is to perfect the penmanship of her classes to some semblance of legibility, and judging from the number of certificates her students have re- ceived. she surely succeeds. MISS EDITH SMITH Secretary to Superintendent Miss Smith is the superintendents right hand man. Her secretarial duties are the usual ones connected with a modern school. The students know her as a cheerful person who is always ready to accomodate them, whether to change a dollar or to restore a lost locker key. Now- adays, going to the olliee is not the dreaded ordeal it used to be. espevially when its atmos- phere is pervaded with the charming personality of Miss Smith. Miss HILDA MILLER English, A.B. Ohio State University This introduces Miss Miller, who teaches the Freshmen how to speak English as she is spoke. She has earned the eternal gratitude of the Staff by her zealous work in urging her pipils to submit stories and poems to the Spy Contest. Running' the risk of becoming too per- sonal. we would say that her lively wit relieves the monotony of the subject she teaches. YVe don't know what her hobby is, but from her deeds it must be practicing the Golden Rule. IVIISS LOLA DIETRICH Commercial Geography B. I'. Ohio Northern University Nvhat ho! Another new member of our illus- trious faculty. Although old acquaintances are not forgotten, yet new faces and new teachers are always welcome at Galion High. Somehow, Miss Dietrich seems to be an extremely busy person. Getting an interview with her seems to be about as diilieult to do as Hnding the pro- verbial needle in the proverbial haystack! NVe'll wager that Miss Dietrich has a sense of humor, for anytime you meet her she's smiling. Thirteen
