0 ma gzanore loiering MISS ELEANORE SPIERING For many years North Division has been fortunate to number on its faculty a teacher, excellent I1Ot only in the field of English but also in the performance of duties beyond the scope of the classroom. As a member of the Guidance Department, as Chief Girls' Counsellor under Mr. Weriier, and as Dean of Girls under Mr. Micthalak she wielded strong influence and accomplished much. lt was she who inaugurated and systematized the keeping of detailed student records. She helped to prepare the guidance program manual. Through her understanding of individual needs and capacities she was able by tactful, patient, and persistent effort to lead the student in the right direction. Under her sponsorship student government was revived in 1939 and a new constitution written. To her efforts in the Writers' Club many a student ascribes his success in writing and in leadership. In everything she set a high standard of conduct and achievement. Honesty of purpose and fearlessness of expression consistently characterized her work. To Miss Spiering go our best wishes for happiness, May she enjoy many years of richly deserved leisure.
