Zyesdallzmemfer . . Miss Evelyn Peck After a teaching career of 37 years, Miss Evelyn Peck retired in May 1954. Although seriously ill after her retirement, her spirits have continued high and she is now convalescing with extreme cheerfulness at her home. Following her graduation from Susquehanna High School, Miss Peck attended Mansfield and received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from Columbia University. Before coming to Sayre, Miss Peck taught in Susquehanna for five years and in Catskill for two years. She enlivened her classes of Chemistry and Biology with her keen sense of humor. Patience and understanding were her bywords, particularly in the intricate laboratory experiments. The hundreds of students who, over the years, were privileged to be a part of her classes remember the proficiency of her teaching, heightened by her extensive research and study. We pay tribute to Miss Peck as we realize that a special part of Sayre High is gone from the halls and the classrooms which so many remember as hers. Miss Muriel Baxter Miss Muriel Baxter was born in Troy, Pennsylvania where she at- tended high school. A Bachelor of Science degree was awarded her by Penn State: other professional study was received at Mansfield and the Univer- sity of Colorado. Teaching first at West Burlington Junior High School, in I928 she joined the faculty of Sayre High School, where she remained for 26 years. In her seventh and eighth grade General Science classes, Miss Bar- ter taught with skill and effectiveness. Her pleasant manner and kindly understanding gained for her the friendship of all those with whom she came in contact. Keenly interested in the total program of the school, she con- tributed much in sponsoring and aiding various activities. Her death on August 26, I954 took from Sayre one of its finest and most respected teachers. DR. LA NGLEY MISS BAXTER Dr. Wilfred Langley Dr. Wilfred Langley, one of the most civic-minded men of the com- munity, contributed much of his time and talent for the welfare of the Sayre School system. He received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Having served his internship at the Rob- ert Packer Hospital, he remained there as a member of the permanent staff. He was highly esteemed by the many local and national medical organizations of which he was a part. Dr. Langley was Senior Warden of the vestrymen of the Sayre Church of the Redeemer. He assisted in many community campaigns such as the Red Cross, and was affiliated with numerous organizations including the Sportsmen's Club. In his work on the Board of Education, Dr. Langley sought to maintain the highest possible standards of educational opportunity for the youth of the community. At the time of his death, March 18, I954, he was serving his se- cond year as president. -
