THE NOR'EASTER THE MEMORIAL TRIBUTE OF THE NORTHEAST HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY ON THE DEATH OF MISS EDNA E. MILLER lt is with profoundest sorrow that we learned of the death of our lamented and beloved colleague, Miss Edna E. Miller, the head of the department of art and design in the Northeast High School. This sad n,ews comes so suddenly and unexpectedly that it is difficult for us to find adequate language to express our feeling of sorrow and of truest appreciation. Physically, intellectually, and pro- fessionally, she seemed to be so normal, so energetic and so enthusiastic in her work that none of us would have thought that she would be the sixth member of the Northeast High School faculty to be numbered out of service at the command of the messenger of death. Although this is only Miss Miller's first year as a teacher in this school, already through her genial and strong character, socially and professionally, by her active, faithful and willing service for the good of Northeast and by her expert efficiency as a teacher of art, she was rapidly strengthening her department and endearing herself to the hearts of her pupils and co-workers. Miss MiIIer's friends were proud of her meritorious work and the attractive and enviable career that she was shaping for herself both as a fine personality and as an art teacher. Outside of her routine class work she was prodigally active in helping the teachers and pupils in all school activities where a skillful artist was needed to produce charming posters, bulletin board notices of school events, cov.er designs, department headings for the Nor'easter and bookplates to stimulate the pupils in their study of literature. Indeed, hers was a self-sacrificing spirit for the good of the w-hole school. In these respects Miss Miller's character and work furnished a shining example of high-minded woman- hood for our pupils to .emulate and for her fellow teachers to revere. To her bereaved mother and other members of her family we ex- tend our tenderest sympathy and condolence. May they find consola- tion in th.e reflection that to be thus remembered by her pupils and colleagues is not to die, and the Northeast High School is a better school for having enjoyed even for so brief a season Miss Miller's refining, beautifying and mind-strengthening influ.ence. Let us also find consolation in the reflection that to scatter along Ilfe's highway in spring as Miss Miller did, works of beauty for the human eye to rest upon and especially to cultivate the love for beauty in the hearts and minds of our young people, is to be a benefactor of the human race. Solicitously submitted by the Committee, MR. E. D. PHILLIPS, Chairman, MISS EVA PACKARD, MR. ROBERT E. WHITE. 18
