ss btureeon i y w SP HERE is consolation in the portrait of a loved one who is far away; we like to muse and dream over his likeness. Still, the portrait is, after all, only a portrait, and the expression on the face, for the most part, is a lifeless expression. How much better it is, therefore, to have a record of good deeds, not in a frame, but etched into the lives of real people and into the spirit of a whole school. Such is the impression that one among us has created during her sixteen years of service in the Rock Island High School. Miss Sturgeon has formed this impression through her work as Head of the English De- partment, as adviser of the senior classes, as supervisor of the Bi-weekly, and as sponsor of the Junior English Council. Every student who has come under her influence, has felt the effect of her assiduity and unfailing dignity. Now, Miss Sturgeon, as you go to sunnier lands, may your past suc- cesses stretch out into the future, and may the appreciation and good-will of Rock Island High School be ever a reminder of your worth. We shall not say Farewell, but Au Revoir.
