Strength and honor are her clothing: — she openeth her mouth with wisdom; — and in her tongue is the law ot kindness. — Proverbs 31. Surely strength, wisdom, and kindness are the key- notes in the character of our retiring board member, Mrs. Meta Berger. Thirty years of courageous fighting for just causes have proved her high sense of civic loyalty, but have not marred her gentleness. She has espoused the cause of the underprivileged, of the eager soul with an idea, of the misunderstood minority. She started things that took root ; she has had vision and faith. In recognition of her retirement, thirty-two civic and professional organizations sponsored on April 25 a banquet attended by six hundred and fifty friends; nine speakers praised her in terse but glowing words. But in this volume we pay tribute to Mrs. Berger as our own champion in early and difficult days, and as the con- stant friend of the teachers and students of Girls ' Trade and Technical High School. We wish to express in small measure our appreciation of the kindly consid- eration she has always given to our problems, and our gratitude for the influence upon our lives of a truly great woman. Give her ot the iruit ot her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates. Ml IfA aJr
