GRIFFITHS We pay tribute to one who loyally served her school, from which she was graduated in 1907, as student and secretary for many years. She was also a vice- president of our Alumni Association. Always a dependable worker, she never left a task uncompleted no matter how hard it was nor how long it took. She filled well a difficult and exacting position. P14 JACK COHEN, 1924B We are unutterably saddened by the death of ,lack Cohen, who was largely responsible for making our band the splendid organization it is. Mr. Cohen won the liking and respect of all of us. PX4 CLARA A. PEASE Clara A. Pease, born April 19, 1856, in Springfield, Massachusetts, began her career at Hartford Public High School in 1882 as a substitute teacher. During 1883 and 1884 she taught in Middletown. In 1885 she returned to Hartford Public High School as a regular member of its faculty which numbered sixteen at that time. During her forty-one years in connection with the science department she gave freely of her abundant knowledge and wise counsel and inspired her students with a desire for further learning. She insisted on a mastery of detail to support principles, orderly habits of thought, and accurate and concise expression of ideas. In memory of this courageous, kindly woman there has been established in this school the Clara A. Pease Science Prize awarded semi-annually to a senior for excellence in Astronomy or Geology. 10
