Dedication The dedication of the Purple and Gold of nineteen forty-two is an expression of f the debt of gratitude that Morrison R. Waite High School owes to Mrs. Delia ,fi R. Fortune. .,, Gracious, obliging, patient Mrs. For- 9564 tune has spent seventeen years at Waite I High School, helping students with diffi- g cult but highly cultural Latin, and with perplexing and troublesome algebra. Her keen interest in students, her untiring efforts in obtaining for them scholarships to institutions of higher learning, and her sympathetic attitude toward their welfare are well known. Extra curricular activities also claim her attention, for she is counselor for the Zetalethean Literary Society, and is one of the advisers for the Optimates. In her quest for doing good, she is concerned about every stray dog, be- draggled cat, or abused horse that comes to her notice. Better far than the poets, Robert Burns or James Russell Lowell, does she teach the brotherhood of all living creatures. It may be truly said of Mrs. Fortune MRS. DELIA FORTUNE that she leads the Good Life. In fact, she never strikes up the hectic pace of modernity, but always finds some leisure for talking things over, for reading, for visiting friends, for cheering the discouraged, for making jokes about life, and for loving her fellowmen, and, in turn, being loved by them. A graduate of Hiram College in Ohio, Mrs. Fortune also attended Penn College in Iowa, and the University of Toledo. Fortune has unquestionably smiled upon Mrs. Fortune, blessing her with a son and two daughters, all of whom are serving the United States in some capacity. James, formerly of the U. S. S. Pennsylvania, is a lieutenant in the Navy, teaching at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Anne, whose husband is a physician in the United States Army, was at Honolulu at the time of the Pearl Harbor disaster, but is now residing in the United States. Isabel is a physiotherapist at Fort Hayes, Ohio. Since it is by one's fruit that one is known, certainly, Mrs. Fortune's reputation is not a bubble one, but a lasting one. Indeed, her own children and her adopted ones at Waite are proof of her ability to guide young folk aright. With honest admiration and with sincere respect for an excellent mother, an enthusi- astic teacher, and a steadfast friend, we dedicate the Purple and Gold to Mrs. Delia R. Fortune. 9
