Hn 14 pl-eciativn 0 llli A eAAie Mu by THE FACULTY UF GIRLS HIGH SEHUUL The closing days of the seventy-fourth year of Girls High School were sad- dened by the death of Miss Jessie Muse, who as principal of Girls High through twenty-five years, was so closely identified with the institution. Yet through our sadness we are proudly conscious of Miss Muse's glorious record as an adminis- trator. We cannot feel that she is lost, for her influence will continue to live in our hearts. A scholar of broad learning, recognized for her insistence on the highest stand- ands of scholarship and character, Miss Muse was known throughout the South and East for her grasp of educational problems and her ability to adapt to growing and changing demands upon the schools. She was appreciated by her faculty for sound a11d unbiased judgment on all questions and for her command of both details and general issues, she was respected by her pupils for her infinite patience and understanding of individual problems, and she was admired and loved by those associates and alumnae who knew her best. Because she served as principal of Girls High School in those years when secondary education was becoming a vital part of the nation, because she kept in close touch with the demands of those transitional years, because she was eminently successful in making Girls High School the symbol of a good high school, Miss Muse made the school her own.
