In Memoriam Miss Irma Graham was a dedicated teachei whose brilliant dreams of great things for the Women ' s Physical Education Department were only iust begun. A vivacious, happy, seemingly carefree young woman, she will be greatly missed by the profession, as well as her many friends. She hod devoted her life to teachmg, coming to Pasadena in 1929, spending most of her years at PCC and Muir and climaxing her career by becoming chairman of the Women ' s Physical Education Department last September. By her membership in numerous professional organizations she exer- cised wide influence on the junio r college program. She became a recog- nized authority on archery, presenting several institute sessions and teaching in summer schools of several colleges. Her sabbatical leave was spent visiting physical education departments of foreign countries so she might bring back something of value to the profession. A perfectionist in dress, she was famous for her hat story which was told many times on request and always proved equally funny. She was a lover of good books, a charming hostess, a loyal friend and a devoted teacher. Her epitaph might well read: jnt no days but school days.
