CLAIRE IRENE STERQUELLE CD cfication When we were graduated from Iunior Springside, we no doubt believed ourselves to be super-human beings. We felt self-important to the point of being self-conscious. lt was glorious exhilaration. Then on a certain Tuesday morning later in September, 1933, our world suddenly tumbled. We found our- selves seventh graders. Upon learning that our teacher, Miss Sterquelle, was also unacquainted with the school, we felt relieved. Perhaps this fact has drawn us closer to her more than anything else. Miss Sterquelle exhibits a grand sense of loyalty towards her pupils, and this certainly made the term 1933-'34 easier for all of us. She has a win- ning smile and eyes that say cheerfulness. This helped, also. She knows the necessity of serious- ness and when to apply it, thus geography, history, grammar, and spelling took on new and more sig- nificant meanings. Of course, we were not perfect little students and Miss Sterquelle's tolerance and understanding are two more often spoken of but seldom applied assets which seem so natural with her. This dedication is a very meagre tribute com- pared to the many helpful and kind things our seventh grade teacher has done for us.

QJOIQWOIT! We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty nine, sincerely hope that this year book will give you an idea of both the trials and the joys which we have all experienced through our years at Springside. We hope you will pardon some rather nonsensical pages but the Class of '39 has always been one of laughter and happiness. If this book were less gay or less sincere, it would not be the true class record of the Class of '39, The Editor.
