MRS. W. F. McCONN In ineniory of one wliose life was closely interwoven with the educational work of the church, who was a capable and steadfast leader of the community, a faithful homemaker and mother, a loving helpmate and companion, and one who manifested a deep faith in God at all times, the Marionette Staff respectfully dedicates the 1954 Marionette to the memory of Mrs. Viva E. McConn. Mrs. McConn, the late wife of our President, came to Marion in 1932. She and her husband moved here from Miltonvale, Kansas, where she was grad¬ uated from Miltonvale College with a major in music. She did graduate work at the University of Kansas and Kansas City University. Mrs. VIcConn was widely known in educational organizations. She had served as a leader of Parent-Teacher and McCullough Associations in Marion, and Women’s Temperance Union of Indiana. She was identified with many religious groups of the city, and to her dying day, August 1, 1953, she manifested a consistent, sweet trust in the Lord. “With dignity, virtue, and pureness of heart She strived for the heavenly goal. Her race is run. Her crown is won. Now she reigns as a living soul.” E D I C A T I O N
