3n jflemoriam Pupils who came to know Miss Jennings discovered that underneath her qu.et demeanor she had a delightful sense of humor. She was sincerely interested in her students. To some her high academic standards and demanding exactness seemed unnecessarily strict, but many of her pupils now look back with gratitude on the year spent with her. The members of the Girls’ Club realize how much Miss Jennings will be missed. She helped organize the club and had served as sponsor ever since. Under her lead¬ ership the girls on the board and council learned to assume responsibility, but we e also left free to try out new activities and projects. Therefore although the main puipose of the club never changed, its activities varied from year to year. Miss Jennings served her school and her students with a great devotion which we all appreciate. During years spent in working as attendance officer, Miss Williams came to know well most pupils and parents in the Horace Mann district. To many she was merely a giver of blue slips or someone to see if one had to leave school during the day. To others she was the one who helped you if you were in trouble, or had to go to court, or needed to quit school to earn money. She was a link between the school and the home. From her house visits she often brought back information which enabled teachers to understand better the problems of many children. She watched pupils grow from shy six-year-olds to sedate seniors and knew more about them than they ever suspected. She worked faithfully to further the best interests of Horace Mann and its stu¬ dents. Kene ennituji
