NY' im Mem mam 'H' 1 lu YY Dayton. Mrs. Anna Muraki The faculty and students of SLHS have lost a friend and a devoted secretary by the death of Mrs. Anna Smith Muraki. During her almost dozen years of service to the school, Mrs. Muraki played a most significant role in the education- al pattern of the Marianists by her daily contact with stu- dents who often came to her for the type of advice only a mother can give. A lady of high ideals, she was convinced that her position embraced the same responsibilities de- manded of the Christian educator. Hence, her every look, her every word and her every gesture conveyed a mes- sage of inspiration to all with whom she communicated daily. Forgetful of self, this wonderful lady combined her God-given talents with apostolic zeal and devoted herself to serving others. We St. Louis men shall remember and love her always! May she rest in peace. .4 . P Louis. Brother W1ll1am Haas, SM Bro. William was born in Shonach Germany on Nov 12 1868.
