MR. WILLIAM J. KRUM, JR. Superintendent of Schools Many things may be said for Mr. Krum, but they have all, at one time or another, been spoken. Thus we can only point out that he maintains Lowell's principle and, in so doing, has become a definite leader in the field of progressive education. But it wos in making education not only common to oil, but in some sense compulsory on all, that the destiny of the free republics of America was practically settled. —Lowell MISS MARY L. PITKIN Principal A teacher offects eternity; he con never tell where his influence stops. —Henry Adams Miss Pitkin, too, is an ad- vocate and leader of high scholastic standards. She in- fluences all who come in con- tact with her because she is a teacher of the highest dig- nity. Under her guidance we are gaining the knowledge so necessary for the future. MR. DEWITT S. WOODARD Associate Principal The direction in which Education starts a man will determine his future. —Ploto To Mr. Woodard falls the job of keeping us on the path of Education. A hard task, in- deed. We shall not forget his words of advice, for they are sure to help us, no matter upon what career we embark. 6

FACULTY IN MEMORIAM ELIZABETH J. SMITH Elizabeth J. Smith began her teaching at Union Endicott High School in 1922. She taught constantly during this time with only one year's leave of absence. Miss Smith had not only great teaching ability in mathematics, which she taught at the time of her death, but she possessed an appreciation of music, art, and literature and excelled in these fields as well as numerous others. A very fitting tribute to Miss Smith is found in the words spoken on October 28, 1950, by William J. Krum, Jr., Superintendent of Schools. In the presence of the people assembled to see the U-E vs. Olean football game, he said: ... As a person, she was the embodiment of absolute integrity in her everyday life. She was honest; she was loyal; she was thoughtful. She was a real Christian and she truly loved her neighbor as herself. As a teacher, she was a professional person of the highest calibre. No job was too difficult; the hours were never too long. She loved not only the subjects which she was teaching but also the young men and women whom she was teaching. . . . The example of Miss Smith's life will long remain in the minds and hearts of those persons privileged to come in contact with her. Clothing and Home Decoration. F.H.A. Club Adviser.
