Miss Virginia Fameron came to Noblesville schools in Sep- tember, 1935. She was employed as a Supervisor of Art and ln- structor in English. As she taught and mingled with pupils and fellow teachers she endeared herself to all. Her entire personality reflected that spirit of joy in doing for others. She followed her work with a re- markable enthusiasm. and she seemed always to appreciate the human qualities in her teaching relationships. The children of the entire school system loved Miss Cameron. and her influence as a teacher will he lasting in the lives of all these children. When news reached Noblesville, March 123, 1936, of Miss C'ameron's death, it was a very definite shock in the lives of the children in the schools. It came unexpectedly and at a time that the work of art was taking on the happier. more pleasant sketch- ing of scenes connected with spring. A very noticeable pall spread over the entire school. and this continues today in the hearts of those who knew Miss flZ1lll0l'0ll. The memory of that kind, pleasant personality is the memory of Miss Virginia C'ameron that will linger always. 13

uou must Acri By A. If. Nlueller, Principal Unce I picked up an interesting line of prose which has ever since held a niche in the corner of my mind. It is: THE GREAT END OF BEING IS TO HARMONIZE MAN WITH THE ORDER OF THINGS. 'That means that the great task of life, the great object that we are con- stantly trying to gain is to make ourselves fit better into this complex scheme of life. It means that all our efforts are attempts to get along better with tithe way things arefl Every act is an attempt to put our- selves more into harmony, or agreement-to adopt another term-with these things. If we accept the quotation as true. then it follows that the business of education should be to help each pupil to Hharmonizec himself with the 'forder of thingsf, Your four years in Noblesville High School should have taught you what to he and to do and to think and to believe, in order to be a little more in harmony with this Horder of things than you were when you came here: and out of that teaching you should have gained a certain degree of satisfaction with your lot-t'happiness,'l it is too often and too commonly called. Now, what work we choose to do, to what extent we look after our health, whether or not we are able to earn money, what our religion is. what affections we feel, how we adjust ourselves to the social life, are all matters that determine how well we harmonizez ourselves with the order of things. In this brief space, I can mention only that there is one element, the lack of which more than any other. it seems to me, will hinder you from getting into harmony with the order of things. If you havenlt learned this you should do so quickly. lt is Energy. You canlt be listless. or lazy. and be successful. You have to pro- duce. You have to do. to go. to think, to act. What you can do, what you are capable of. how intelligent you are-all these count for nothing if you are not energetical and are not willing to do something with these qualities. You may be chuck full of the qualities to be a good salesman, but that doesn't count unless you actually go out to sell. You may be ai fine sprinter, but unless you run your mere ability doesnlt count. A good mind must functiong strength must be usedg an idea must be carried out -or what good is the mind or the strength, or the idea?-All this is so obvious it seems superfluous to talk about it. Yet it does need talking about. As between the brilliant lazybones who makes A's only half trying, and the energetic but slow student who has to plug hard to make a B but does it, I'll take the second boy every time. Helll probably make good. The first fellow probably wonlt. Count on that! Get in harmony with the order of things. And you canlt do it un- less you have. or cultivate, Energy.
