MISS CUTTER CAPT. HIMMELE MR. WALZ CQWLQ, I'l'H the retirement of Miss julia Cotter, this year, Lafayette has lost a true friend and advisor. For twenty-0116 years she has been a guiding spirit to all who have known her and it is with deep regret that we see her leave. Miss Cotter is a graduate of the Buffalo Normal School and has done post-graduate work at Columbia University. She was a member of the English depart- ment at Lafayette for seventeen years but for the past four years she taught social science. By those who knew her as a homeroom teacher her retirement will be most noticed. Although we shall miss her kindly advice, we extend our very best wishes for her future happiness. IVIERICA is to be defended through the education of her youth and the active participation of her adult citizens. After taking a major part in the former, here at Lafayette, Captain Irvin H. Himmele was called in February of this year to aid in the further defense of his country at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He had been a reserve officer in the army since his days as a student in the University of Illinois. Although we have missed Captain Himmele and are awaiting his return eagerly, we are proud of the important work he is now doing. May he have the best of luck in all he undertakes. j INCIC last February, Carl VValz has capably filled the position of assistant prin- cipal of Lafayette High School. The many duties involved in this capacity have made him well known and well liked to a large number of students. He has ably taken over supervision of the Monitors and N.Y.A. in Mr. Himmele's absence, and hands out tardy slips and schedule changes with an experienced air befitting anyone who would occupy the 8-A office. lNIr. VValz has indeed become an integral part of Lafayette. Comments ir at 13 at 'A'
