6 aaowllfq Alanna Roll COLONEL MERLE HOWE MISS OLGA PERSCHBACHER MISS INA FINDLEY MR. HENRY HORNBECK Colonel Merle Howe, former Union High School aviation and world history teacher, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, and the Oak Lee Cluster for conspicuous bravery beyond the line of duty. Colonel Howe, who joined the infantry as a captain last year, soon proved his military abilities and readily moved to the top ranks. Co-author with Miss Dorothy Wilde of the book America Speaking, Miss Olga Persch- bacher has finally achieved her goal of helping students better to understand American democracy as revealed in its literature. She has taught at Union since 1920 and has been chairman of the English department for seven years. After teaching English and arithmetic at Union High School for twenty-five years, Miss Ina Findley found it necessary, because of ill health, to retire early last fall. She sincerely enjoyed the boys and girls in her classes. Because of serious illness, Mr. Henry Hornbeck was not able to return to school the second semester this year. As a teacher of hygiene and sanitation, physiology, and biology, he was well liked by all students. Mr. Hornbeck has taught at Union since 1912.

MISS MARIE C. NEUMAN fbefdzcarzan Miss Marie C. Neuman, to whom this book is most proudly and sincerely dedi- cated, will often be remembered by many students and teachers. Through the fine example of the well patterned life led by Miss Neuman, we too hope to attain her high standards of thorough cooperation, sincere interest in all projects, capability of organization, and genial spirit. Her modern management of the cafeteria has made it one of the most attractive and efhciently run in the city. With the emphasis on war activities in school this year, she introduced the Victory Lunch program into the cafeteria system. A pioneer in classes in modern home economics, she has dignified home making until many students have come to look upon it as a liberal art. During her twenty-one years of teaching at Union, she has with the aid of her classes given frequent teas for students, mothers, and teachers, not only for class in- struction but also as a guidance of student social activities. In future years, tucked away with our fondest recollections of Union, will be Miss Neuman's memory, and we will be proud that we have known her.
