OUR MISS E. LURA To the members of her English classes and to her young creative writers. Miss E. Lura Moore is a counselor who is always ready to listen with sym- pathy and to speak with authority; an instructor whose compass of knowledge and whose apprecia- tion of the best of the world’s literature arc profound and cosmopolitan; a friend, whose hearty laugh, se- rene countenance, and gentle smile cheer all who pass her way. Self-forgetfulness, an awareness of the feel- ings of others, and a belief in the innate goodness of her fellows have made her both beloved and esteemed. Mitt K.
