' 1 if.. vs., fffg' N APPRECIATIQ Miss Edna McGaffee, you became a part of the Vennard CC.E.I.j Family in 1926. Your first position was that of housekeeper for our founder, Dr. Vennard. Later, you served our second president, Dr. Jessop, and his family in this same capacity. At the time of your retirement in 1959, you were performing similar duties in the Girls' Dormitory. It can truly be said of you--you have gone about doing good. None who has known you has failed to have been cheered by your in music. quiet ways and your ready smile. Miss Pauline Christ, you have served untiringly in our family circle since 1936. We believe that not only homes and communities have been blessed by your ministry, but we are sure that nations across the seas have received an unmistakable impact for the Lord through the lives of those who have sat at your feet. Vennard felt the loss keenly, when, in the fall of 1959, illness necessitated your being granted a leave of absence. At that time you were instructor in the field of Christian Educa- tion and you also had charge of the religious services in Community Center. The gentle fragrance of a life completely devoted to God and others will linger long. Miss Ruth Marsden, you joined our faculty in 1952 as an mstructor Fortunate indeed, are those whose privilege it was to have been your students, and fortunate, too, those whose very souls have been stirred by your mastery of the keyboard. You have written a number of theme songs for Youth Conference, and, although you are no longer with us, consented to serve in this important area again this year. Feeling that the Lord was leading you to serve in a.nother Christian school, you tendered your resignation in 1959. It is a good thing to . . . shew forth thy loving-kindness and thy faithfulness upon an instrument . .
