af? O O ETHEL J. LOUCKS From kindergarten days - one has many teachers, As the years roll on they blend and fade into a hazy background - many are forgotten - some are but a faint memory - but an oc- casional one remains brilliantly etched in your memory for the lessons taught - the hope instilled - the ambitions fired - and the ideals impressed into your consciousness, Van B. Hooper Many teachers hope and pray that they will be remembered by their former students foiisome small contribution that they might have made in the lives of their pupils, Ethel J. Loucks, recently retired from the Scottdale Joint School System, will long be remembered by her former pupils for the fine example she set for them in her classes. Miss Loucks received her elementary and secondary education in the Scottdale public schools. Following her graduation from high school she enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh and graduated with a B.S. in Economics. To this additional hours of work was done in extension and summer courses. In the fall of 1920, she began her teaching career in Latrobe High School. In the following year we find that she had transferred to Altoona High School, where she remained three years before return- ing to Scottdale. From the fall of 1925 until her retirement she taught Latin, civics, and English in the Scottdale schools. Never once, in her busy daily schedule, was Miss Loucks kept from giving that extra bit of encouragement that might be needed by those who had hit a rough spot in his or her assignment. Much credit for the many successful issues of the SCOTTIE is due to her watchful eye for any slight fiaw. Many hours of hard work went into the editing of the material and the pasted classes owe her a debt of gratitude and a hearty thanks. Europe and the British Isles had a fascination for Miss Loucks. Other favorite vacation spots were Lake Chautaugqua and Wilson College campus for the Frick Educational Conferences. She held membership in the local, state, and national educational associations. While in Scottdale she held oifice in the local branch and became a life member of the N.E.A. Not only the educational organizations felt her influence, but also the P.T.A. which she served faithfully by holding several offices. Busy as she might be, there was always a place for her com- munity interests, chief of which is the Scottdale Book Club. May it truly be said by those who sat in her classes, well done.
