1 8 2 8 T 3 O N V 1 9 1' 4 U 7 B B S This is the first annual in more than a decade that was not created under Dr. Eston V. Tubbs as principal. lt Was to have been his last. The earnest Wishes for his happiness in retirement that would have been expressed here are supplanted by our heartfelt grief at his loss, a loss that is felt by teachers, students, and the community. He was proud of his faculty, of his students, and of the record of his school, and often remarked that anyone Who spoke in disparagement of any of them would encounter vig- orous argument from him. More than one learned this from experience. This loyalty and pride was reciprocated in the respect and affection tendered by teachers and pupils alike to the beloved principal. His geniality, his scrupulous fairness, his lofty character, and his devotion to the cause of democracy, made lasting impressions on the teachers and students Who were under him. In their hearts he lives on. Page 8

M I S S 1 8 A 9 L 7 M A K 1 9 4 7 B A U M A N ln the passing of Alma Bauman, Morgan Park High School lost an inspiring personality. Too few people have her gift of keeping bright and constant a devotion to principle while meeting the dull routine of daily problems. There was always that twinkling eye, quick smile, or spontaneous laugh to lift the gloom of a rebuffed reporter or despairing editor. How her students strove for that coveted phrase, Thats good! so freely given when really merited! Yet words of correction and suggestions for improvement were as gratefully accepted because they were wisely and sincerely spoken. These are the things we miss, but we can never lose the inspiration of such a character, nor the joy of hav- ing known such a friend. We can take for our creed the words which so often sustained her, I will lift mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. Page 9
