Page eighz Zin 11-Blemnriam N the joyous, hustling activity of pre-commence ment days, we, the 4A class, together with our school mates and teachers, pause in our activi- ties for a time to remember with respect and love, Miss Myrta Mercill who passed away on July 18, 1931. The news of her death shattered the peace of many vacationing students and teachers, for she was one of the best-liked members of Bowen's faculty. Miss Mercill was born in Meadeville, Pennsylva- nia. There she attended both preparatory schools and the Alleghany college. She earned her P. A. and M. A. degrees at that college, majoring in lan- guage for both degrees. Later she studied mathe- matics, her favorite subject, and in 1931 received a Master of Science degree from the University of Chicago. Miss Mercill came to Bowen in 1918 and taught here for the remainder of her career, thirteen years. The unselfish service she rendered here will always be gratefully remembered by both the students and the hxculty.
