Expressive of the feelings of the school as a whole is Mr. Balzer,s statement: Miss Lucy Schoenig, through painstaking methods, fur- nished many businessmen of the city with competent help. Such men considered it a prize to get one of Miss Schoenig,s graduatesf, f2?

Constant, eager strides toward the goal of perfect teaching, and encouraging hands extended to those in need of help are gifts not forgotten. To develop the opportunities for service in new fields, these members have relinquished their homes, their dear ones, and students for whom they harbored a fond hope.

IN MEMORY Miss Marian Scanlan If true beauty Was ever found in the soul of a human being, it Was found in Miss Marian Scanlan. Everything she did bespoke this beauty: it was seen in her love for correct, fine Englishg her sterling character, and the un- derstanding she possessed .... Nothing was too trivial for her attention. Nothing Was so important as to swerve her from her sense of fair play. It has been said that one of her outstanding traits was loyalty - loyalty to her church, her school, and her family. Many patient hours were spent poring over volumes of history for her father's research, the only compensation being her enjoyment of such Work and his heartfelt thanks. She achieved the ambition of Writing numerous poems and a history textbook of her home town, and she often expressed the desire to edit books for English classes, hoping to bring her students the best in literature .... Although she will never grace the earthly portals of Washington again, she will live for- ever in the portals of our hearts. Mr. Henry Ericson Serving as he lived, Mr. Henry Ericson gave much to life and was given much in return. In no small Way Wash- ington received the harvest of Mr. Ericson's best years, for ever dearest to him were his church and his school. As he had learned the Greek language to better understand the Bible, so did he probe far into current problems, keeping closely atune to the events of the day. The radiance of his jovial personality brightened his surroundings: in the classroom, on the street, and in his home .... Delving far into activities he was associated with, Mr. Ericson had long been a symbol of sincerity and perseverance. In ad- dition to his skill as math instructor, he Was noted for his achievements as a linguist, sports enthusiast, and lover of nature .... Giving freely of time and effort, Mr. Ericson was loved by people of all Walks of life, and sad- dened though we are by the passing of this venerable man, We are gratefully confident that he has gone to serve in even greater fields of endeavor.

AMERICA WORKING Stirring music, dramatic poetry, vivid painting: all have been inspired by the whirl and bustle of cities teeming with workers. The work of the world goes on day by day as new vistas of unlimited horizons are opened to eager minds .... Perhaps the work we do in school-study and write, read and recite - is not wholly unlike that of the laborer. Although we have not stepped across the threshold to a work-a- day life, we yet glory in being able to ac- complish a given task. We recognize the worth of freedom of opportunity for every- one, everywhere. And by choosing the sub- jects we want and working under teachers' guidance, not rule, we feel democracy working. The grip of the hand on a wrench, the swift, sure touch of the typist, the sen- sitive press of the doctoris lingers -these are the skills with which we are preparing to fill our places in a working world. We stand ready, too, to remove any barrier of oppression which obstructs our entrance into that vivid life across the threshold. vl V 'I in llll 'lg' Q L ' S A , e- Q' ' ' I, l:l , l ...ravi fi M1 si fl 4
