In Memoriam jlltlarp Margaret Brown Lake View mourns the death of Mrs. Mary Margaret Brown on April ll, 1948. Mrs. Brown served as our Registrar for sev- eral years. She won a place in the hearts of all who worked with her and she was well liked by the students whom she served. Mrs. Brown will be greatly missed by all at Lake View High School. In Memoriam Margaret jf. Martin Any written tribute to the late Margaret F. Martin, our beloved teacher of Home Economics at the Greeley Branch for many years, is inadequate. The real tribute to her memory lies within the hearts of her friends, students and co-workers. Because of her kindliness, wit, sympathy, and understanding, she was a friend to all and the memory of her pleasant ways is fondly cherished. 12

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
