Page eigbl TH E TH U N DERBQLT NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-TWO In Memoriam IN the passing of Miss Elizabeth L. Mulroy, Manual has suffered a great loss. Her service as a teacher was of a very high order, for every qualification for success was hers: a clear spiritual outlook, which unfailingly guided her in contacts with faculty and pupils, a fine, studious, discerning mind, a keen insight into the needs and hopes of those she taught, and a splendid spirit of cooperation in classroom and out. In spite of a serious physical handicap, she applied herself constantly to college work of a difficult nature, and at the time of her death had almost completed a master's degree in two distinct lines, that of literature at the University of Colorado, and of commerce at Den- ver University. Both teachers and pupils have lost a friend, a true, kind friend, who carried on so bravely, who helped over rough places so willingly, who spurred us on to liner, bigger things in life.

Ranch Bosses FOREMAN HILL 4 In 1928 The Thunderbolt M Ranch opened its gates to a new foreman, Mr. Hill. Since his coming to Manual he has truly been a great leader. He is always ready to help the students in any problem which may arise. Through his efforts many improve- ments have been made, such as repairing the south end of the building, placing a fence around the athletic field, and providing for a revised and enlarged curriculum. The above improvements have enabled the students to attend a constantly growing and better school. Mr. Hill's progressive ideas in education have brought recognition to him as being one of Colorado's most outstanding school administrators. ASSISTANT FOREMAN STEELE Mr. Steele has been a part of Manual almost since the school was built. He is a Manual graduate of 1896. After graduating from Colorado School of Mines, he was a mining engineer for several years. But the urge to teach was strong. In 1901 he became an instructor in sciences at Manual. Here it has been a pleasure for him to teach young westerners to mine for wisdom. In 1922 he became Dean of Boysiand Assistant Principal. In this position he often meets boys whose parents once attended his classes. These con- tacts give him his greatest pleasure, for there are thousands of Manual graduates in Denver and Colorado who know well jimmy Steele. ASSISTANT FOREMAN ATKINS Manual is fortunate in having Miss Atkins as one of her leading faculty members. Born in Georgetown, Colorado, she is a native westerner. In 1897, after receiving her B.A. from Wellesley and her M.A. from Colorado University, she came to Manual. Here she taught tenderfeet, Wranglers, and tophands the mysteries of mathematics. A wholesome interest in others, plus a willingness to help, won her the position of Dean of Girls in 1924. Understanding, courage, and sympathy are attributes apparent to all who know her. Through kindness she won the love of the girls and the respect of every boy. To Miss Atkins we say- Manual would not be Manual without you! Page len
