Oscar Boland For twenty-nine years Mr. Oscar Boland was associated with high school teaching in Mobile. In the Commercial department at Murphy he served successively as teacher, chairman, and fiscal agent for the school. He was gentle in manner and speech, unassuming, joyous and happy in spirit. At the time of his death he was busy revising a novel, autobiographical in nature, which expresses his kindly phi- losophy—the Oneness and the Goodness and the Reverence of all life. Antoinette Walker Ariail Faculty members and students will long rememl er Mrs. Antoinette Ariail for her loyal and devoted service to the teaching profession. Displaying a rare efficiency, she j er- formed her duties with a contagious enthusiasm and a buoy- ancy of spirit that endeared her to her associates in the Com- mercial department. There was always about Mrs. Ariail a dignity and charm which betokened the lady she was. We are grateful that she came into our lives, for we know we are better for having had her as a friend. Annie Ruth Moore Because of her dependability and the earnestness with which she undertook all tasks, Miss Annie Ruth Mooreserved well as chairman of Murphy’s English department. She devotee! much time to training speakers for contests and other school activities. Speech Workshop, under her lead- ership, gave students a chance to practice correct speaking over the public address system. Her high ideals and depth of character were a constant source of inspiration for letter living. 23
