She Graduates , Too Many students find their ideals in one of their teachers. The student who chooses Miss Maude Jones for his ideal cannot go far astray. When the boys and girls who are now Seniors en- tered Junior High, then too, Miss Jones began her career as English instructor in R. H. S. For two years she drilled us in the uses of nouns and verbs and grammar in general. When we became Freshies, we thought we had lost our Miss Jones, but she had only gone to college to renew her supply of trouble- some verbs, nouns, etc. In the fall of the next year we re- turned and found our Miss Jones at the desk. In this year, she became our class sponsor. It was due to her guid- ance that we became a business-like class and made a good start along the highways and byways of R. H. S. The Junior - Senior English teacher left, so Miss Jones stepped into her shoes. Then came the public-speak- ing classes. Her instructions in vari- ous oratorical contests, and in our own Mansfield Declamation Contest have worked wonders here. This year she accepted the position as sponsor of the Girl Reserves, one of the most outstanding and worth while organizations in school. She is well fitted for this position at the head of such an organization and deserves much credit for its success. She has accepted a position in Manila, Philippine Islands, and she will leave Rushville as soon as school is out. After five years of close association, she knew every one of us and our abil- ities. She kept us up to our standard. She is as much a part of our class as any member. We feel very grateful to her and extend the same good wishes and friendship to her as to our class-mates.
