HELEN ARNY MACAN Js To give an adequate account of the accomplishments of Helen Arny Macan would require more pages than this annual contains. We can only touch upon some of the main points of her career. Mrs. Macan graduated from Baldwin School, went to Bryn Mawr College, edited a book of poems, worked at the College Settlement, and studied French at the Sorbonne. ln 1915 she was married. Before this she had taught at Miss Wright's and Saint Timothy's. In 1920 she helped to found College Hill School in Easton, Pennsylvania, and eventually became its headmistress. From there she came to be Headmistress of Saint Agnes in 1953. There are three fields of activity in which Mrs. Macan has been outstanding. These are: music, social service, and education. To illustrate this we name a few of her honors, offices, and activities: she helped frame the first Child Labor Law for Pennsylvania: was on the board of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, was organiz- ing secretary of the Woman Suffrage Association, was on the board of the Y.W.C.A.g started the Girl Scouts in Alexandria, and was the first Scout Commissioner, helped start the Little Theatre of Alexandria, and was on the Board of Governors, was a member of the Council of Social Agencies of Alexandria, was on the Virginia Advisory Committee on Schools and Colleges, was Chairman of the Resolutions Committee and later a member of the Social Security Committee of the National Association of Prin- cipals of Schools for Girls, was a member of the School and College Committee of the Headmistress's Association, and was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Exchange of Teachers. We feel sure that among Mrs. Macan's many honors, she will not rank as least the unofficial title conferred upon her by the members of Saint Agnes, the best comrade that anyone ever had. Helen Arny Macan, we are grateful for all that you have done for Saint Agnes School, we know that you will, be a leader wherever you go, and we promise that our love and loyalty will follow you always.
