QBItce winter Iune 8, 1888 - March 23, 1948 Olice Winter was born in Poseyville, Indiana, Iune 8, 1888. His father died while he was very young. As Olice was the eldest child, he became his mother's indispensable helper. During these early years the lad wafked a long distance to his grandfather's farm to get the milk, butter, cheese, and vegetables needed by the family. Olice always took his schooling seriously and had great pride in learning his lessons. In 1912 he was gradu- ated from the University of Indiana. During his four years at the University he played on the football and basketball teams becoming the best all-round back in the West. Mr. Winter worked his way through the University by sewing as a waiter in the college dining-hall. He earned membership in the Phi Beta Kappa, Honorary Scholastic Society. While at the Uni- versity he met his future wife, Freeda Mercer, of Brownstown, and they were married soon after graduation. He taught for two years at the Marion Clndianal High School before be- coming a Mathematics instructor at Harrison Technical High School, Chicago, in February, 1914. While at Harrison he was the football coach where he developed many fine athletes. Because of this success he became Assistant Principal, spending twelve worthwhile years at Harrison. Mr. Winter's promotion as principal of Whitney Elementary School came in Oc- tober, 1925. In August, 1928 he was elevated to the principalship at Parker High School. It was on Iune ll, 1930 that he came to Lake View. During these busy years he was rearing two children, William and lean Know Mrs. Camp- belll. The tragic death of his son, William, at the age of twenty-two, in an automobile acci- dent, was a shock from which Mr. Winter never recovered. But he turned his heart and mind to helping other boys and girls. Lake View and all the young people in it increasingly be- came his supreme interest. During the eighteen vears that Lake View was his home, he gave his all to us. Mr. Winter was honored at an Olice Winter Night, April 18, 1947 when 1,500 friends assembled at a Parent Teachers' Association gathering to pay tribute to his remark- able service to the school and the community. This production was ably directed by our Miss Helen Kinsella. Mr. Winter died March 23, 1948 at Wesley Memorial Hospital of a heart ailment. He is survived by his widow, Freeda, his daughter, lean, two arandchildren, Bruce and Ioan, and his brother, Doctor Matthew Winter of Indianapolis. A delegation af thirty-five students ioined faculty and hundreds of former students and fellow-workers, including Superintendent Herold C. Hunt and leading administrators of the Chicago Schools, at the funeral rites, Thursday, March 25, at 4:00 P.M. Intennent was at Brownstown, Indiana. On April 2, 1948 a beautiful memorial service was presented in the school auditorium at which Assistant Principal Ildrem P. Daniel presided and spoke. Other speakers were Butler Laughlin, Assistant Superintendent in charge of High Schools, and G. Dana Henderson who was Assistant Principal for sixteen years during Mr. Winter's leadership at Lake View. An impressive pageant was presented by the Drama Class in cooperation with the B.O.T.C. We of the school system feel we have lost one of our nzost outstanding and truly progressive members with the untimely death of Olice Winter. He has left a lasting impression, I know, on hundreds and hundreds of Lake View students. I feel a personal loss as well, for even in our short association 1 was impressed with Mr. Winter's ability and was looking forward to a close asso- ciation with him. HEROLD C. HUNT General Superintendent Chicago Public Schools 8

We Honor We give honor and tribute to the high ideals and personal achievement of our retiring faculty members, all of Whom have made a lasting mark on our lives . . . and to all those who hold cherished memories of happy times spent in their classes. We, the Red and White Staff, give homage in this 1948 issue of the Annual. S MB. ARCHIBALD ALLISON The many students and co-workers who have enjoyed knowing Archibald Allison during his thirty-three years of teaching mathematics at Lake View will regard any written tribute to this beloved teacher as inadequate and incom- plete. Mr. Allison has enjoyed the highest regard and respect of all who have been associated with him. The little man with the cane and big brief case is distinguished by his understanding and tolerance. We regard Mr. Allison as a master craftsman in the field of education for he has eamed the right to be called a teacher in the true sense of the word. After graduating from Bucknell University, Mr. Allison taught mathematics in his home state-Pennsylvania. This was followed by two years of teaching in Iowa. His first work in Illinois was at Highland Park High School. It was there that he met his future wife who was then teaching Latin and English. The Allisons have one son and two grandchildren. Among Mr. Allison's dis- tinguished pupils is General Mark Clark. We of the Red and White Staff join all students and faculty members of W Lake View in saying good-bye to this beloved teacher who so well deserves our affection and best wishes. MR. IOHN E. COE Mr. Iohn E. Coe has taught botany and zoology at Lake View since 1928. One of the many reasons why he is such an excellent teacher is that the field of natural science is his hobby as well as his profession. Much of Mr. Coe's leisure time is spent afield and in the Forest Preserves. He has collected speci- mens in all parts of this country and Mexico. Mr. Coe has written articles for scientific magazines which are illustrated with his own photographs. Those fortunate pupils who have studied with Mr. Coe have been inspired by his knowledge and his enthusiasm for natural sciences. FRIEDA A. TENGLER - The Red and White Staff join all Lake View in saying good-bye to Miss Tengler who has taught in the Chicago schools since 1916. Miss Tengler, who retired from teaching in Iuue 1947, is a graduate of Lake View. She is be- loved for her kind and understanding attitude. Letters tell us of her delight in travel, reading, piano practice, cooking, and sewing. She anticipates acquiring a small home with an acre or two of ground in some scenic location in a mild climate. We hope this plan will be fully consummated, and that she will enjoy a happy time. 10
