Z , Mrs. Hoxie was not only our coach . . . She was in many ways like a mother to all of us on the team. I speak for my- self and for all the members of the team in saying that, I am sure. The most difficult thing for all of us to face is the fact that she is no longer here. Sometimes I find myself anticipating unconsciously another practice session with her . . . Until I realize that those practice sessions, which used to seem so rou- tine, but were really very special, will be no more. I think we all feel that one of the most significant things about our relationship with Mrs. H was that she didn't teach us just to be wimiers at tennis-but mainly to be winners in the game of life.

To get an education?-Sure, we have learned all these things-and more. But I think the word I want to use here is attitude, The greatest thing we have as a result of Mrs. Hox1e's teaching IS attitude.-Second best was never good . . . . t t S enou h. There were no excuses. There was no reason good enough to miss practice. For practice was just as lmpor an a 8 the match-If we couldn't win in practice, we wouldn't win when it counted, she said.

But we know that she is gone-That rea 1zat1on as y . on in life with something special to help us-That something special which made Mrs. Hoxie what she was-A winner. -Eulogy delivered by Charles Brainard, team representative, at the Jean Hoxie Memorial Servlces. l' ' h finall come to all of us We must go on without her-But we go
