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

MBS. WINNIFBED V. SKINNER Mrs. Winnifred V. Skinner, one of our popular commercial teachers, has been our school treasurer for several years. She handles all collections and disbursements for the entire school. Along with her varied educational duties she has also been a homemaker. Mr. Skinner, who is a retired physics teacher of Senn High School, shares his wife's interest in extensive travel, color pho- tcgraphy, and farming. The Skinners have taken many rare photographic color films in Europe and America. They plan to spend most of the year on their Iowa farm, which is beautifully located on high ground overlooking the Mis- sissippi River. Florida will be their location during the winter. Although it is very hard for us to say good-bye to this well-liked teacher, we know that her plans offer every inducement for happiness in the future. - 't . MISS GENEVIEVE SOUTHER Miss Souther is one of the capable Lake View faculty of which we are so justly proud. Although she has long been an inspiring teacher of the Classics, in the study of which she attained distinction, Miss Souther has also offered us an example of public spirited service and leadership at Lake View. She has given ready and enthusiastic support to all those activities which are just, true, and good. Miss Souther was born in Wisconsin near the beautiful Dells, and she taught there for awhile before coming to Chicago. She spends her summers amid the natural wonders of lakes, waterfalls, woods, birds, and wild flowers which she loves. Although she is an enthusiastic contract bridge player and enjoys play- ing this game with her many friends, her chief source of joy is in the great out-of-doors. We regret to say farewell this Iune, 1948 to Miss Souther. MR. RUDOLPH C. MUELLEB Mr. Rudolph C. Mueller, our well-liked teacher of Industrial Arts, is retiring in Iune. He is a native Chicagoan: was graduated from Yankton College, South Dakota, and the Chicago Theological Seminary. Mr. Mueller was assigned to teach in Chicago Schools in 1930 and has been on the staff at Lake View for the past five years. Previous to 1930 he held various positions of school administration in North Dakota, and at Harvey, Illi- nois and Forest Park, Illinois. As he is a talented wood craftsman, his hobby is fine cabinet designing and workmanship. Mr. Mueller is looking forward to happy days when he retires to live in Arizona. He holds our highest regard. and our best wishes will always follow him. MISS LOUISE KEEFE Miss Louise Keefe left Lake View in February 1948 after a long and fine record in the teaching of History and Civics. Miss Keefe, who is a thorough student of political science, always enlivened her teaching with interesting information gained during her extensive travel. She encouraged the discussion of contemporary world affairs in her classes. As Miss Keefe is blessed with a fine sense of humor her many pupils have enjoyed her vital leadership. We. of the Red and White Staff, extend our best wishes and hope that Miss Keefe will long enjoy life in sunny California where she has decided to make her permanent home. ll
