PYLE A.B., Ewing As an attempt to express our appreciation for the friendly guidance so graciously given for many years to I'Iarrison's pupils, we dedicate our annual to our teachers who are retiring from active service in the Chicago public schools. Mr. Oakes says, My fifteen years of teaching at Harrison have furnished both stimula- tion and growth for me. The teachers have shown a fine spirit of good will and cooperation and the varying needs of the pupils have been a challenge to the best I was capable of giving. When Harrison high school was housed in the Farragut building, Miss Marinda Wmsor Miller was on its faculty. Her unusual abilities have manifested themselves in various activi- ties since 1909 when this building was erected. Besides having taught classes in algebra, English, history and latin, she coached the annual plays presented by the senior classes, and served as Dean of Girls from 1913-1933. She says in farewell, My greatest satisfaction in teaching is the knowledge that there is a long line of men and women in this world doing splendid, and in many cases, wonderful worlc who once sat in my classes. I never wanted to be in any other school than Harrison and never wanted to change Harrison boys and girls for any other group. For all who have had contact with our esteemed teacher and friend we express apprecia- tion and extend our best wishes for her well-deserved leisure. For fifteen years Mr. Jesse Goodenough taught classes in accounting and stenography at Harrison. In December, 1936, he was retired and went to sunny California for a rest. His quiet manner and friendly attitude toward the children and faculty endeared him to all. Miss Celia Campbell left Harrison in June, 1936, after serving in the music department since 1914. She made an enviable name for herself in the field of public school music by her annual artistic operetta productions. Our best wishes to you, Miss Campbell. In September, 1914, Mr. John O. Pyle was assigned to the Harrison department of mathematics where he served as instructor. For ten years he was chairman of his department. He says, I believe, for modern civilization, mathematical science is as necessary as the ability to tall: and write. 5
