Her work has been in the Normal Schools in Millersville and Indiana. She came to Indiana when the school Avas first opened in 1875, and has lived and Avorked here ever since. This has resulted in a great love for the school and the toAvn, such as is possible only to a life spent like hers. Miss Leonard has kept abreast of the times by as- sociating Avith ncAV teachers and others of learning and ideas. Scholarly people, edu- cators, and her old students make up a part of her wide acquaintance with people in many Avalks of life. She spends her summers at a school in Chau- tauqua, in travel or in some course of study, improving and groAving in mind. Miss Leonai-d has traA ' eled extensively throughout the LTnited States and Europe, and Avas planning a visit to Turkey, Greece and Palestine just before the Avar broke out. All the students highly esteem her and realize the i-ichness of her character and leaining. It is the Avish of the Senior Class of 1920 that she may have many more years of happiness and enjoy only the pleasantest memories of those Avhom she has most faithfully served.
