I With our utmost respect and appreciation we wish to honor Mrs. Ruth Morris Schreyer, who is retiring this June after thirty years of loyal service as a lower school teacher. In 1922, Miss Ruth Morris began her career at U. S. as first grade teacher. The following year she discontinued her teaching because of her marriage to John Deharte Schreyer. In January of 1930, Mrs. Schreyer returned to U. S., this time as director of the third grade. She was happy to return to her first graders a few years later, Where she has remained ever since, she has often said, First grade is my only love. Throughout her years at U. S., she has always kept busy, having taught penmanship, reading, and art, in addition to her first grade work. This June, Mrs. Schreyeriwill have completed thirty and one-half years at U. S., and it is estimated that she has taught well over 500 boys includ- ing two generations of some families. Mrs. Schreyer and her husband, who is retiring this year also, will continue to live in Cleveland. They will spend the summer months at Balsam Lake, Ontario, as they have done before, fishing, swimming, and reading. It is with deep regret, but sincere appreciation that we regard the loss of so devoted and loyal a teacher. It has always given each of us a special pleasure to watch an Indian file of first graders obediently follow Mrs. Schreyer through the halls. Although we deeply regret her retirement, Mrs. Schreyer should leave with a feeling of accomplishment, having had a life of fulfillment through instruction of the young.

EURETARIE Left lo right: Miss Breyley, Mrs. Fields, Mrs. Wcflerson, Mrs. Bass, Mrs. Whitehead, Mrs. Smith The graduating class feels a special gratitude to the various secretaries through- out the school, whose friendly advice and willingness to help have reached everyone. The friendly smiles of Mrs. Margaret Whitehead, Mr. Cruikshank's personal sec- retary, are a familiar sight to anyone who has entered the headmaster's office. She handles the school correspondence and arranges the school schedule in addition to her duties as secretary 3 and, above all, she is always willing to lend a hand. In the main office, Miss Vera Breyley brightens everyone's day with her sugges- tions and wonderful sense of humor. She has never been without a smile and a cheerful comment, yet her typewriter never stops chattering. Mrs. Helen Smith is the loyal friend of everyone at U. S., both past and present. When in need, with all other hope gone, a boy can always depend on Mrs. Smith for a K. A. Her switchboard operation is often interrupted by a loan of 8.10 in return for an I.O.U. Her friendly personality never changes. Mrs. Arlene Fields, assisting in the Alumi Office is also a well-known person- about-school, due to her many services to information-seeking U. S. boys. In addition to aiding Mr. Paige, she is an associate editor of the Alumni News-Lettefr. Another friendly, helpful person is Mrs. Mercedes Watterson, Athletic Office secre- tary. Although she is kept busy organizing atheltic schedules and events, and accepting field excuses, she is always willing to help. The Middle School boys owe a great deal to Mrs. Audrey Bass, Mr. Bobenmeyer's secretary, for her cooperation throughout the year. Her understanding is greatly appreciated by many a lost seventh grader, and by many a befuddled freshman. The graduating class wishes to give a special thank you to all these women for their undying friendship and their helpful advice. Everyone at U. S. appreciates their warm smiles and cooperation.
