Gertrude Shaw Silver Stella Hughes Durkee Mrs. Stella H. Durkee retires this year after fifteen years of service to Plymouth Teachers College and the children of the community. Mrs. Durkee has served as a supervising teacher in the Guy E. Speare school and since 1949 as its principal. Always mindful of the human relations elements in her work, she has been a sincere and helpful friend to pupils, parents, teachers, and student-teachers alike. Plymouth has been fortunate to have a person of such broad understanding and sympathetic appreciation of personal problems as the director of the elementary student teaching program. Mrs. Gertrude Shaw Silver is retiring at the end of this college year after having given over forty-one years of service to Plymouth Teachers College. Mrs. Silver came to Plymouth on November 1, 1912 as Secretary to the President. In 1943 she was appointed Administrative Assistant and has been responsible for assisting the President with budgeting, purchasing, accounting, and plant maintenance. After his retirement, Gertrude Shaw was married on August 15, 1947 to President Emeritus Ernest L. Silver, at whose side she had worked so faithfully . in the building of Plymouth Teachers College. Faculty and students are going to miss her quiet, friendly greeting, her unfailing courtesy and deep concern for student welfare, and her efficient management of the multitudes of business transactions which have been her responsibility. We are glad that we can keep her as a close neighbor, for we know that much that is Plymouth resides in her head and her heart. 8
