As the school year closes, it leaves with us various memories, some pleasant, some regretful. The parting of teachers and students always leaves a sting of sadness. This year it is exceptionally so as our Principal. Miss Lucy B. Hall, is leaving us. Miss Hall graduated from the Newton High School in 1897. After graduating from Drake University, she returned to Newton, accepting a position as teacher in our High School. She has been with us for seventeen years, having been Principal during the past six years. Miss Hall is a woman of the highest ideals, and her influence has always been for the very best. She has shown herself to be a true teacher in every sense of the word. Possessed of keen discernment, strong executive ability, and a vision of the true great- ness of her profession, no sacrifice has ever been too great for her to make in order that her school work might be first. She has had a sympathetic personal interest in the well- fare of each individual student, an interest which has made each one recognize in her a friend and adviser as well as a teacher, and in this respect she will be keenly missed. Miss Hall has freely given of her services, not only in the regular routine, but in ways that can never be paid for in dollars and cents. While the teachers and students keenly feel the loss of Miss Hall from our High School, they also feel that in whatever work she may be engaged, her interest in us will still live.
