mm. lltaoel f:JanA Wood As we look back upon the past years we realize how much of a loss to us Mrs. Wood's marriage and move to Binghamton is to mean. A graduate of Mansfield State Teacher's College, and Syracuse University, she has also had additional study at Ithaca College of Music, Cornell, Pennsylvania State University, and Wilkes College. Before becoming a faculty member of Meyer's English Department, she taught music at Guthrie and Hoyt. At Meyers she has served on the Honor Society and Guidance committees among others, has helped develop Scholarship Day, and she arranged and wrote last year's T,V. program which so well portrayed our school. In the W.B.E.A. she has held important committee chairmanships, and was a four year delegate to P.S.E.A. She has given frequent addresses on the status of women and youth conservation before women's groups, P.T.A.'s, Wyoming Valley Women's Club, and others out of town. She is also an official board member of the First Metho- dist Church, and chairman of the Carpenter Memorial Concert Committee. As we say farewell to her as a member of our faculty, we know her time and talents will continue to serve others wherever she may go, Iliff. Wal-1-en grown The absence of Mr. Warren Brown, a member of our faculty, was greatly discernable this year. As physics teacher, Mr. Brown was regarded as a highly educated man by the students. He was a graduate of the Univer- sity of California. His children were Meyers students. He is the possessor of a heroic record in World War I, and his very shy manner and retiring disposition seem hardly understandable when we realize what a force for good he really was. Always a gentleman and always a good sport wherever he was, we know that his students in New Iersey will value his supervision as we did here.

lllr. Rebel: Wood As head of the machine shop for the past twenty six years, Mr. Wood has displayed skill as well as the neces- sary understanding and patience so valuable in the teach- ing profession. He attended the Wilkes-Barre City schools, and received his Mechanical Engineering degree through the Penn State Extension and Scranton Corres- pondence Schools. Mr. Wood's family also attended Meyers. The exhibitions of work accomplished by his stu- dents have been exceptional, and show him to be a real artist in metal, and able to pass on his knowledge to de- voted students. We will always regard our association with him as a very valuable experience. lllr. john bulzu Retiring from the position of chief custodian, which he has held for twenty six years, Mr. Iohn Dukes leaves Meyers with a host of friends. While Mr. Dukes has been at Meyers, his children and now his grandchildren have been students. Besides being employed here at Meyers, Mr. Dukes was also a member of the Mainten- ance Staffs of Grant, North Main, and G.A.R. schools. He will long be thought of with admiration and apprecia- tion. So much has depended upon him, and he has given us so much that was extra and above the call of duty that we can feel that Meyers could hardly have gotten along without him. He has a place in our remembrance that will never be filled. ASSOCIATED WITH MR. DLIKES ARE ROBERT DAVIS. GOMER IONES. ROBERT YOUNG, ALBERT MILZ. AND CARL STEINHAUER.
