ROSE MARITTA THOMPSON In the winter of 1913, Rose Maritta Thompson, for many years an honored teacher of the Academy, died' in the village hospital, after a lingering illness. One whose whole life was one sweet gift to others, writes a classmate, and the words express no more than the simple truth. Of a keen and discrimi- nating intellect, rejoicing in the exercise of her own powers, she yet held this, and every personal satisfac- tion, in subordination to the call of duty. But this was no slave's task for her, since every service was prompted by her loving heart. Patient, loyal, gener- ousgtrue, without one trace of bitterness or self-seek- ing, she passed the days and years in the resolute cheerful performance of- The daily round, the common task. She was a good neighbor, a faithful teacher, a firm friend, a devoted daughter. It is fitting that the Academy class of 1914 should pay this tribute to the memory of their First Year teacher, for those who were her pupils then will never cease to feel the influ- ence of her brave and unselflsh spirit. MISS FRANCES J. HOSFORD.
