Roxbury Memorial High School for Boys - Bostonian Yearbook (Boston, MA)

Page 11 text:

The Class of 1956 appreciates the proud privilege of being permitted to dedicate its Yearbook to Mrs. Elizabeth M. McGrath. That there never could be a teacher better versed in her subject, more adapt in im- parting her knowledge to her students is a truism. This, however, is only one phase, and by no means the most valuable, of her talents. What has even more endeared her to a generation of students is her un- failing patience, her warm sympathy, her indefatigable energy. No one has ever seen her impatient. In a word she was, like Chaucer's Gentil La- die , the epitome of all that is good, and noble, and womanly. Young men who came to her a hopeless Stutterer, under her patient teaching, have since become highly successful salesmen. Cther students with most annoying speech defects have become actors. The Class Day and Graduation programs which she directed, guided, all but created, were glorious and famous. We shall miss Mrs. McGrath. She cannot be replaced. Still, we have been fortunate. We have been blessed by her presence. It is the generations still to come to Mem- orial who will miss her most. ff .l
