a Wave good-bye a wish of luck to our friend Lincoln said good-bye to a former teacher, a guidance counselor, and a friend. Miss LaRue Craig, organizer of Lincoln's guidance department, resigned from the faculty at Lin- coln after 26 years of dedicated service. Miss Craig received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1945, majoring in history and Spanish, with minors in English and social studies. In 1955, she received her Masters of Education degree in counselor education from the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. She began teaching at Lincoln in 1945, and became a guidance counselor in 1948. She undertook her position as Senior High guidance counselor in 1953. Miss Craig was responsible for re-organizing the ECHO, the first student council, the first Future Teachers club, the club council, and the American Field Service Com- mittee. Because of her work in the guidance department, Lincoln has the most extensive scholarship pro- gram in the area. But the real gift Miss Craig gave to Lincoln was her unbelievable response to people and their problems. She was always there if someone needed assistance, help, or just a shoulder to cry on. Many are unaware of her numerous endeavors. Whenever those she as- sisted tr'ied to express their grat- itude, she told them it wasn't neces- sary, explaining, It's my job. Synonymous with Miss Craig and her work,'is her right hand man, Mrs. Alice Puzz, who exhibits a great deal of interest and concern for the programs initiated and car- ried out by Miss Craig. The guid- ance department, students, faculty, administration, and all of Ellwood City will feel an emptiness in her leaving. But only the best of luck can be expressed to a woman who has the courage to start another journey this side of the rainbow. 6 dedication 3 J
