leave their images “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell uhere his influence stops.'' —Henry Adams When Herbert Hoover High School opened in 1929. Miss Gertrude Skain, who later became Mrs. William Schmidt, was a member of the faculty. She had just been graduated from the University of California with honors. In addition to the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees, she brought to her first teaching assignment the wit. enthusiasm, and breadth of inter- est which always characterized her outstanding ability as an instructor. During the years she taught both Latin and English with distinction and served, both formally and informally, as an advisor to many students. Her brilliant mind and her uncompromising integrity were joined by a rare sense of humor which inspired all the perceptive students who felt her influence. Because of Mrs. Schmidt's example many students achieved higher goals than they would ever have set for themselves. Her untimely death bereaves not only her family, her friends and the present student body, but also a very large number of all the students who have ever attended Hoover High School. 17
