if fi iiigiz mi li ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL After graduating from the Lebanon Valley Acad- emy, Rex K.John attended Lebanon and Indiana Cen- tral colleges, each for a year, and then Otterbein college for two years, being graduated from the latter institu- tion in 1911, with an A. B. degree. Always interested in boys, in 1911, he accepted the position of boys' director and assistant secretary at the Y. lvl. C. A., Fairmont, West Virginia. Prom 1914 to 1920, he was instructor in the high school at Ashland. He became instructor in history and athletic coach at the Manitowoc high school in 1922. For the past two years, he has also served as vice principal. He has made a reputation for himself both as a teacher of history and as an athletic coach. His strong open countenance. and manly attributes appeal to the students. While general coach for a number of years and basket ball coach for seven years, his teams carried off many championships in basketball and track, rarely finishing below second place. We students can best express our estimate of lvlr. john by expressing the wish that he remain with us a long time. REX K. JOHN REGISTRAR Who that has attended the Manitowoc 1-ligh School at any time during the past few years does not know, and like, and respect Nora Healy? Probably every student has had occasion to meet her personally , for while serving as secretary to the principal, she also has charge of the text book library, is the recorder of marks , and above all, acts as the reprcsentativeoflvlr. Stangel in passing on all excuses for absence and tardiness. We students, know her best in this last capacity. She can tell by looking at us whether the story we tell her to explain an absence or tardiness is true or false without the necessity of giving one ofthe tests in which these adjectives figure so prominently. Vxfhen. with a sheepish look or possibly a confident one, wc present a rather weak or possibly, slightly hdoctoredu excuse. how she looks at us with her kind yet penetrating eyes and calmly remarks, Now, do you really think l ought to excuse you? Be frank with me and explain your ab- sence. The explanation that doesn't excuse is imme- diately forthcoming and with it comes the look that reaches our souls, and the reproof, lf you bring that kind of an excuse again, I fear 1 must send you to lvlr. Stangel. That is all. But that is not all, for her meth- od of doing what might be considered a disagreeable duty reacts favorably on the students, who, with Emer- son, appreeiate that Character is a reserve force that acts directly by presence and without means. 01521 Rahf- NORA HEALY Twenty

The true meaning of a life well lived has been I Qi brought forcibly to the realization of the students of iii Lincoln High School with the passing from our midst lp 'll of two members of the faculty, one after years of devo- S ly lil F tion to duty, the other in the prime of life, that point I' if Il when life's outlook was most promising. .Because both ffl l left our ranks with little or no warning, the realization , ,4 ' Fl of their loss was at first vague, butnow we feel, indeed, ltr . the vacancy which their absence has left. In both we 3 have lost a teacher and a friend, persons who, by their i bl ' ' encouragement and their help, made school a pleasanter i l and a happier place. , As we pass through the days of school, each meets with disappointments, with problems which need for l-fi ,N Fil 2 their solution a kindly guiding hand. Then it is that W hi we turn to teachers such as these, teachers who do not ll , , weigh our merits and demeritsg but who, thinking only LI, ., , I A' l of our needs, study our individual cases and by gentle ' Ti Q li .1 J , . 1 H W advice strengthen our sometimes failing courage. There l Ll are no laurel wreaths or pomps of display for those who l li-' NELLIE ANDERSON hold the torch light of knowledge to us who stumble in l ' 2 the darkness, there is no heraldry for preparing us that li, ii we might better uplift the Standards Of our community-except the undying tribute that we hold l Em in mC1'11Ory. If only we could keep h encouraging leadership, but the Fates must realize 3 lil their ends. 1 H Thus we mourn the passing of Miss Anderson and Mr. johnson. To Miss Anderson is acred- ' ited a remarkable record of thirty years of service to the children of her own city. record that iT' . e l i M T H: can stand any test. Astriking combination of faithful- i lfl 3 , l ness and gentleness, Miss Anderson remained faithful l to our services until she was called into the services My W 'll of Another. Likewise, we have profited from the ser- I Fl 5 vices of Mr,johnson, who has been with us the past 1 ,V i three years. As director of physical education, he in- l U troduced intra-mural sports into our school and I cross country running into the Fox River Valley Conference. Ice hockey is another sport, the establish- ment of which Lincoln High School owes 'to' this l sports enthusiast. The. shock of Mr, johnson s death 1 i was more terrible to us in that it followed the day on Q .il which the members of his hockey team were awarded E lf Q fl their emblems and occured immediately after his lead- 3 l ing his track team to a most difficult victory. l-lis boys l have pledgedto carry on through the season with U: 1 his inspiration as their guide. 5 3 Both Miss Anderson and Mr. johnson have left if 1 ml l with us as a guiding star the valuable example of pur- poseful lives, lives dedicated to the service of youth. E l We, who have profited by their acquaintanceship, wish 4 this, insufficient through it is, to be a tribute to them.
