A TRIBUTE Mary I . Urn Coyle, for twenty-nine years a teacher of art in the Melrose schools, passed on to her reward last December, the twentieth, nineteen hundred thirty-five. She was ever patient and courageous in enduring suffering, never murmuring about her lot, and striving always to rise above her own troubles that her associates might not be made unhappy. Her love for the beautiful and aesthetic in life; her untiring devotion to the progress and welfare of the students who came under her instruction; her high ideals of Christian living have in- fluenced boys and girls of Melrose High School to strive for and to attain a noble manhood and womanhood. In her passing, Melrose teachers and pupils have lost a strong teacher, a loyal co-worker, and a sincere friend. When we think of her, let us not say she is dead, let us say she is “just away” as written by our immortal James Whitcomb Riley: “I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away! W ith a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you — oh you, who the wildest yearn l or the old-time step and the glad return Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There, as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead -he is just away”.
