IN MEMORIAM Frederick W. Tisdale, born March 27, 1890, lived a life rich with experiences in the service of helping others and serving his community; he was called from this service on October I I, 1940. After receiving his educational and professional train- ing at Hamlin University, he later entered the teaching profession in the state of Washington. This work gave Mr. Tisdale an opportunity to serve in various capacities in a number of communities. His work in the teaching profession and his leadership in the Washington Education Association won for him many friends throughout the entire state. As superintendent of the Lake Stevens Schools from 1921 to 1929, Mr. Tisdale accomplished the greatest achievement of his career. In those eight years of ceaseless labor and planning with no thought of sacrifice to himself, he brought the Lake Stevens Schools from a veritable wilderness to the main highway of modern education. The young people who passed under his guidance and supervision during that period, will long cherish his memory.
