A CEifteh Eeahrr Helen M. Hall, a graduate of Syracuse University, has been for two years a teacher of English in Hamburg High School. ln the short length of time that she has been here she has succeeded in accomplishing for the pupils who have come in contact with her what few others have ever been able to do. Her remarkable personality, which displays itself in her sympathetic nature, her unselfishness, her patience, and her spirit of self-sacrifice, has won for her many friends among the pupils. However, we, the seniors of the high school, should be doubly grateful to her for the sympathetic interest which she has taken in us throughout the past year. To her we owe most of the pleasure we have enjoyed as a class. It was through her untiring efforts that we were able to give The Spell of the Image, a play which not only was so successful as to afford comment for weeks after, but also to swell the senior budget enough to enable us to take that wonderful trip to Washington. Did Miss Hall direct this play for her own benefits? Did she under- take this task with the idea of gain? N03 she did it merely because she wanted to help us. Throughout the year she has been the one true friend to whom we have ever looked for advice and counsel. Our interests have been hers as well. What is more, no work has been too hard for her when she has felt that good could be gained for us. . V And now, since we have enjoyed the fruit of her efforts, we are only able to say that we can never properly estimate the value of her friendship and services. For these are treasuries closed to the eye, but from which are drawn the riches of life-love, esteem, confidence, appreciation and assistance. 4
