Il I N --II N NK What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! -Shakespeare. Emblazoned on the roster of the public school teachers of Washington Court House is the name of Amy V. Conn, now Senior adviser and Dean oi' the high school faculty. Worthy of Shakespeare's tribute and endeared to the entire community through her many years of service spent in trying to make boys and girls finer, broader-minded, and stronger citizens, Miss Conn has won a high place in our estimation. Entering the teaching profession when she herself was only a young high school graduate, she not only continued her own education, but readily accepted the responsibili- ties of her calling and at the same time won the admiration and love of her professional associates, her pupils, and their parents by her unusual display of administrative ability, patience. deep and gentle humor, tolerant philosophy, and dauntless courage. Spiritual values cannot be measured by the yardstick nor weighed on the scales. If you would seek her monument, look about you. The splendid caliber of our graduates for almost the last half century attest to her wonderful and uplifting influence. Since most of our finest native citizens came under her influence during their formulative years, the community pays tribute to her priceless service, personality, and character. Like the clay in the Persian fable when questioned as to its delightful aroma, it said, I have dwelt with the roses, these civilians need only to say, Miss Conn was our teacher, our neighbor, or our fellow citizen. That which we are we shall teach, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. Character teaches over our heads. Page Eleven

BOARD OF EDUCATION In every community, at stated intervals, certain individuals are elected by the people to determine the policies of the public schools. On these men and women so chosen is placed the responsibility of guid- ing the schools in sueh manner that there will be provided the best conditions possible for the physieal, mental, and moral development of the young people whose welfare is in their hands. Members of' Boards of Education serve their communities without salaries, and the only reward they receive is the consciousness that they have discharged their duties to these future citizens of the state as all men who regard public office as a public trust are pledged to do.
