THE SCHENLEY JOURNAL pl7U1ilbylfLlihHIil7 Miss Eva Campbell Reluctantly. Schenley says good-bye to Miss Campbell, its beloved cooking teacher. Her teaching ability has been of immeasurable value during the time that she has been with us. She started her scholastic training at Sunbury Academy. Next she attended Drexel Institute and later majored in Dietetics in Allegheny General Hospital. She started her career in a one room school in Butler in 1893. Before coming to Schenley in 1924, she had taught at John Morrow Elementary School and South High School. In Schenley she taught Home Economics, specializing in food preparations. Her cheerful benevolent disposition endeared her to all her pupils and members of the faculty. She reproached her pupils' mistakes so tactfully and gently that they never felt anything but respect towards her. She is one of the old school but very tolerant toward the modern conveniences and methods in culinary art. It will be hard to replace such a teacher and We hope that the substitute in her place will retain the same high standards and ideals for her pupils as Miss Camp- bell did. In addition, we say with all sincerity that we hope that Miss Campbell may receive as much enjoyment from her well-earned rest as she has given to her pupils, past and present. 7
