M iss Mary Conratli • o • Miss Con rath lias been Principal of VVapakoneta High School f« r seven years, during which time she lias had charge of the languages. But the High School has increased so fast in the last few years, that it is impossible for one teacher to have complete charge of both Latin and German. Therefore Miss Conratli has devoted her time chiefly to the Latin for the past two years. She is certainly very ably qualified to till the position given to her. as she is a graduate of the University of Chicago, where she received the Pii. I». degree, and has done some post graduate work at the same University. She has al- so studied abroad, spending fourteen months in special work at Lehrcrinnen Seminar, of Hanover. Germany. Last summer Miss Con rath spent her time in study at Columbia University, and expects to return there again this summer. We, as a class of 1910. feel ourselves proud to know that, during our four years of 1 ligli School work, we have been so closely associated with Miss Conratli. Her good nature has helped us over many obstacles, which would have been difficult to overcome, had it not been for her. She takes an in- terest in everv pupil and tries to make each one pleasant and happy, which lias gained for her the friendship of all. Al- though Miss Conratli is pleasant and jovial, and enjoys fun as long as it is within its proper bounds, yet she knows the bmit of all of these. Therefore. Woe be unto the intruder.” The class of 1910 may be as appreciative ami thankful to her as is in their power, but yet we are indebted to her for only pleasant memories cling about the name of Miss Conratli. That she may continue to be as successful in her good work as she has been in the past, is the earnest desire of the entire class. —15—
